Srinergy to Host Tour of Detroit Area Solar Installations Oct. 6

NOVI -- Michigan-based Srinergy will host a free bus tour of residential and commercial solar installations on Saturday, Oct. 6. The tour will begin at Srinergy's headquarters at 24371 Catherine Industrial Drive, Suite 231 in Novi.

The Srinergy Solar Tour 2012, which runs from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., will start with information and refreshments in Srinergy's offices, followed by a bus tour showcasing a variety of Srinergy-installed solar PV systems including projects in Novi, Farmington Hills, Canton, Detroit and Ann Arbor.

The event is open to the public.

There will be a requested donation of $10 each for Srinergy's Solar4Schools Campaign, which promotes the education of solar energy throughout schools in the area.

Registration is required and details are available at http://srinergytour.eventbrite.com.

Srinergy is joining the American Solar Energy Society and hundreds of solar-savvy installers and grassroots organizations throughout the United States to showcase more than 5,000 solar-powered homes, schools and businesses -- in Michigan and across North America -- for the 17th Annual National Solar Tour, the world's largest grassroots solar event.

The event offers the opportunity for participants to visit solar-powered homes and businesses in the Detroit Metropolitan area and introduces the public to solar technologies that friends and neighbors are using to reduce monthly energy bills and improve property values as they assert their energy independence and create a cleaner community.

Last year's National Solar Tour attracted more than 150,000 people in 49 U.S. states and Puerto Rico. Tours afford participants the direct perspectives of homeowners and installers about the costs, processes and economic and environmental benefits of going solar. The tours also give Michiganders a glimpse at how a variety of solar systems look in and around structures with different architectural styles. It demonstrates an array of clean, effective, practical and economical solutions available right here, right now.

Srinergy is located in Novi, with sales, design, and engineering capabilities available for commercial and residential solar panel installations throughout Michigan and other states as well as in Puerto Rico and India.

The company focuses on offering green energy solutions to individuals and organizations that are socially responsible.

Srinergy finances many of its own projects, including the ability to finance projects with no money down through GE Capital and other financing avenues for larger commercial projects.

In addition to servicing a wide variety of clients including non-profit organizations, the company works with local trade associations, building and development authorities, and neighborhood associations.
