    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.


    August 7th, 6 PM

    System: 60 ground-mounted panels, backup batteries, EVs, geothermal

    Annual Production: 24 MWh

    Why I went solar: To become energy independent & reduce my carbon footprint. Rid myself from the constant fluctuating gas & oil prices.

    Registration is encouraged, but not required.

    Attend a Solar & Storage Tour to:

    • Learn how home and business owners are utilizing solar, storage, and other clean energies to reduce their dependence on fossil fuels and to become energy independent
    • Meet people who have renewable energy installations, learn why they did it, the process, what they love about it and lessons learned

    September 3rd, 6 PM

    System: 27 roof-mounted panels, backup batteries

    Annual Production: 7 MWh

    Why I went solar: We wanted to have as much of our electric power as we could come from a source we know is clean and renewable. Our system ultimately feeds the grid, but since we work remotely from home, we installed a storage system to get us through times when the grid is down.

    Registration is encouraged, but not required.
