About The Tour of Solar and Green Homes

Thanks for your interest in the 2013 Tour of Solar Homes and Green Homes. Our 23rd year showing some of the most green solar homes in the DC area! The tour will be October 5-6, with a remarkable variety of solar design, technology and sustainable living concepts illustrated in over 70 homes.

Each touring day has a variety of unique educational opportunities to put a true environmental "spin" on your experience. All 70 of the solar tour homes will be listed in your tour guide.

Your tour guide is both your map and "passport" to gain entry to the homes on the tour. Only one guide per household is needed to gain entry to the homes. The guide has descriptions, features and directions to each home as well as helpful information, articles on solar home installation, grants and incentives as well as ads from the best area installers in the Washington DC area.
