October 2nd Solar Tour in Rockford

Freedom Field, located in the Winnebago County Water Reclamation District's complex, building 9, at 3333 Kishwaukee Road, Rockford, Illinois will be open during the Tour of Solar Places on Saturday, October 2nd, 2010 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. This is a unique opportunity to see a variety of renewable energy 'producing' systems in operation, including photovoltaics, two types of wind generators, solar heating, and, believe it or not, solar hot water air conditioning.  Another unique feature is the buildings' green roof which is being used as an energy 'saving' device.
