National Solar Tour
Each year, the American Solar Energy Society (ASES) organizes the National Solar Tour (NST). This event opens solar-powered homes, schools, businesses, and more to the public, allowing anyone curious about solar power to experience it firsthand. The NST offers a unique opportunity for people to see solar systems in action, ask questions, and gain a clearer understanding of what it’s like to have solar panels on their own property. As a leader in solar energy in Lancaster, Belmont Solar is passionate about sharing the benefits of solar with our community. That’s why we’re excited to join the National Solar Tour by hosting an open house, where you can see the difference that Belmont Solar panels can make for your home and connect with experts who care about making clean energy accessible for everyone.
