Stop by the home of Andrea and Michael Strening in Wilmette on this year's Summer of Solar Tours in partnership with Go Green Wilmette!

The Summer of Solar Tours is a series of FREE events that feature homes, businesses, and nonprofits throughout the state that have installed solar on their property. Many sites have also integrated other technologies, such as batteries and EVs. During each Tour, hosts open their doors to their community and invite their neighbors in to learn about how to go solar from someone who has already been through the process! Each event includes a short presentation on the host's solar story, a tour of their system, and plenty of time for questions and socializing.

September 29th, 2 PM

System: 22 roof-mounted panels, community solar subscription, EV

Annual Production: TBD

Why I went solar: It’s important to us to help the environment. After getting an electric car we realized the incentives available for installing solar, coupled with cost savings associated with charging our car at home, made solar affordable for us. It also feels great to see our carbon off-set numbers and savings on our electric bill!

Registration is encouraged, but not required.
