This weekend marks the world's largest grassroots solar event: the 14th annual American Solar Energy Society (ASES) National Solar Tour.

Take advantage of the opportunity to see up close how homeowners and businesses in your area are putting the power of the sun to work for them. All types of solar energy will be on display, from photoelectric home solar panels to solar thermal systems and more (many communities typically showcase geothermal, wind power and other renewable projects as well).

Find local solar tours in your area with this state finder.

Hey, Ed Begley, Jr. is a fan of the solar tour! It's also worth pointing out that the event is a great way to meet other green-leaning folk in your area. To get you inspired, check out these 8 Innovative Solar Projects that will be on display.
