The National Solar Tour is nominally held on Saturday, Oct. 3, although some tours are scheduled earlier and some are later, so be sure to check the date for the tour in your area.
For the first time, tours are being offered in all 50 states, as well as the District of Columbia. Tours are also being offered in the U.S. Virgin Islands and in the Mexican state of Jalisco.
