Event Details
Stop by the home of Richard Jones in Earlville on this year's Illinois Solar AND Storage Tour!
The Solar AND Storage Tour is a series of FREE events that feature homes, businesses, and nonprofits throughout the state that have installed both solar and storage on their property. Many sites have also integrated other technologies, such as EVs and heat pumps. During each Tour, hosts open their doors to their community and invite their neighbors in to learn about how to go solar - and invest in storage - from someone who has already been through the process! Each event includes a short presentation on the host's solar & storage story, a tour of their system, and plenty of time for questions and socializing.
Richard's home will be open to tour on August 7th at 6 PM.
System: 60 ground-mounted panels, backup batteries, EVs, geothermal
