2008 Minnesota Solar Tour
www.MNSolarTour.org
Saturday, October 4, 2008
10:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m.
Sponsored by the Minnesota Renewable Energy
Society (MRES), the self-guided, public Minnesota Solar Tour features
50+ exemplary homes, businesses, and institutions that have incorporated
renewable energy 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 local residents
an opportunity to find out how their neighbors are trimming their
energy bills, increasing their energy independence, and taking steps
to address global warming. This is an excellent opportunity for
those interested in solar and other renewable energies to view installations
and talk with building owners, builders, architects, and planners
about their experiences.
We invite you to join us on the next Minnesota
Solar Tour! See renewable energy technology in action, and meet
people who have learned from experience.

Volunteer
as a Site Guide
We will have over 50 sites on the Minnesota
Solar Tour again this year, and we still need more volunteers to
help staff the sites in shifts from 9:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday,
October 4. We have many new and interesting sites on the tour this
year, and this is an excellent opportunity to understand a site
and help visitors learn more about real energy alternatives. Training
is provided on-site.

Solar Tour, please indicate your time and location preferences by
