This year approximately 45 states and 90,000 attendees are projected to participate in the Eleventh Annual National Solar Tour, set to take place on October 4th, the first Saturday of National Energy Awareness Month.

And it is with great pride that the Hawaii PV Coalition announces Maui's second annual participation. The Hawaii PV Coalition, a non-profit organization dedicated to the development, implementation and education of solar power, will sponsor's Maui's 3rd Annual House of the Sun Solar Tour.

Maui's tour will address the crucial issue of global warming, and will educate the public on renewable energy, energy efficiency and steps every person can take to reduce carbon dioxide emissions while supporting a sustainable energy economy. During the tour, residential and commercial properties using solar electric power and solar hot water will be open to the public, allowing attendees to experience first hand these technologies.
