Here is a group of people of the South Carolina Solar Council, that will be hosting a Solar Tour and Workshop in Columbia, Charleston, Greenville, Aiken and Myrtle Beach.
This year, our Solar Tour and Workshop Series is going to bigger and better than ever with the addition of two more South Carolina cities! Our 2009 Solar Tour will be October 3 in Columbia, Charleston, Greenville, Aiken and Myrtle Beach. We are looking for volunteers to show their homes and businesses with solar power to the public on that day. If you or someone you know is interested, see the Solar Tour Home and Business Application.
We are also looking for vendors and sponsors for our 2009 Solar Workshop Series, which will take place in the same five cities during the two weeks prior to the Solar Tour. The workshops will give the public an opportunity to learn more about solar power and businesses involved in solar power! If you are interested see the 2009 Solar Workshop Series Sponsor and Vendor Form.
