On Saturday, September 24th, the City of Carbondale partnered with the Illinois Solar Education Association (ISEA) to host the first guided tour of distributed solar installations in Carbondale during the Statewide Illinois Solar Tour. Attendees traveled to over ten homes and businesses as well as the City of Carbondale's three solar sites to learn about solar energy directly from friends and neighbors. Attendees even received a sneak peek at the Ford Lighting at Vogler Ford Motor Company.
The City of Carbondale thanks Jackson County Mass Transit District (JCMTD), who generously donated transportation for the event.
