October 4th, 2014 from 10am-4pm the Minnesota Renewable Energy Society will be hosting the Minnesota Renewable Energy Tour, which features 50+ exemplary homes, businesses, and institutions that have incorporated renewable energy systems into the design and operation of their buildings.
From geothermal heat pumps using the earth as a huge thermal buffer to wind turbines elegantly spinning in the breeze, and the many incarnations of solar energy between earth and sky, this event offers Minnesotans an opportunity to find out how their neighbors are trimming their energy bills, increasing their energy independence, and taking steps to reduce their impact on the planet. This is an excellent opportunity for those interested in solar and other renewable energies to view installations and talk with home and building owners, builders, architects, and planners about their experiences.

Put your site on the tour!
If you have installed a solar electric, solar hot water, passive or active solar air heat, ground-source heat, wind energy, or biomass system (we’re also really interested in electric car charging and sustainable living) and would like to have your site in the tour, we invite you to be a site! Contact Chris Meyer for more details at chrism@mnrenewables.org.
