Georgia Solar Tour + Festival '09

Did you know that Georgia receives 5.5 peak hours of sun per day – twice as many hours as Germany, the international leader in solar power? This makes Atlanta ripe for a solar revolution powering a new economy and more homes with clean, green, plentiful, localized energy.

Georgia Solar Energy Association does it's part every year to inspire us with local real-world examples of solar projects. On October 3, 2009 GSEA sponsors an educational tour featuring homes, businesses, and educational/government/religious facilities with solar system installations. Visit www.gasolar.org for more info. The tour ends later that day at the German-inspired Hotoberfest in Glenwood Park where attendees can enjoy craft brews and a solar-powered music venue. Ain't it cool how all this ties together?

We are proud to have our premiere ecohome listing, Eden House, as part of the tour, showcasing the solar hot water system.

With the federal, state, and local incentives, the time has never been better to implement your own solar energy system.

Burke,
I agree that we all should be using solar power, but for many this is simply much too expensive. There are many ways for us as a society to incorporate Green practices into our lives, from composting bins and rain barrels to using LED lights, it all begins in the home.
