Green Energy Ohio
This 43 kW residential solar array in Lima, Ohio is part of the 2012 Green Energy Ohio Tour.
Green Energy Ohio (GEO) joins American Solar Energy Society (ASES) and hundreds of solar-savvy installers and grassroots organizations throughout America to showcase more than 5,000 solar-powered homes, schools and businesses for the 17th Annual National Solar Tour, the world’s largest grassroots solar event.
GEO will showcase renewable energy and green design in events throughout Ohio from Monday, Oct. 1 to Sunday, Oct. 7. More than 170 open house sites in more than 100 communities in 49 counties across the state have registered. There will be more than 200 businesses, 50 installers, 69 manufacturers, 35 local firms and 45 businesses participating this year.
“The Green Energy Ohio Tour is a part of the nation’s largest grassroots renewable energy demonstration. Despite political opinions, we know that the renewable energy sector improves the environment and creates jobs,” said Bill Spratley, GEO’s executive director. “Come and see for yourself! Economic and environmental sustainability comes down to people adopting these technologies and making it happen. The tour is the public’s opportunity to take that first step and learn what it takes to have a renewable energy or energy efficiency installation done to their home or business.”
The tours are free to the public during designated times. Visitors can choose from local sites and create a tour that is convenient to their personal schedule. Many guided tours are also available.

Hi,
California law does not allow home owners to size their Solar systems larger than what they use.
Residential home owners, should be allowed to participate in the State mandated goal, to achieve 33% renewable energy by 2020.
Due to this law, we have automatically taken out over 8 million roof tops, that would generate over 11,500MW of power, thats 5 San Onofre nuclear power plants.
We need to let our tax paying, home owning citizens in on this Feed in Tariff, it would be a gold mine for the State, Counties, Cities and the Environment, the possibilities of each entity selling carbon credits is an untapped gold vein.
That’s why I created a petition to California Energy Commission, California Public Utility Comission and Governor Jerry Brown, which says:
” The California Feed in Tariff allows eligible customers-generators to enter into 10- 15 or 20 year contracts with their Utilities to sell the electricity produced by renewable energy systems, let California home owners in on the Feed in Tariff allowing them to over size their Solar systems.”
