Go Zero Tour 2021
About this event
Note: the virtual segment of the Go Zero Tour 2021 is a two-part webinar, see below
Residential buildings account for ​almost a quarter of all energy usage​ in the state of Oregon, and zero energy home design is an important strategy in climate adaptation. Join Solar Oregon for a two-part virtual exploration of zero energy homes across the state: the Go Zero Tour 2021 presented by Energy Trust of Oregon. This event is part of Sustainable Building Week. Don’t forget to get your ticket to the separate in-person portion of the tour here!
This year’s tour is brimming with possibility. Explore a mix of new and retrofit homes, including single family, multifamily, and affordable housing, and learn the value of electrification, energy resilience, and energy efficiency. Discover the surprisingly simple, accessible, and innovate strategies for getting to zero energy. All this from the safety and comfort of your own home.
This is a two part virtual event–all ticket types get you into both sessions. In addition to the two live tour sessions, you’ll have access to an on-demand virtual tour experience for each home during Sustainable Building Week.

Solar Oregon provides a variety of solar workshops and webinars. In our monthly How to Go Solar + Storage webinar, we will answer your questions about how solar works, share information about incentives available, and help you take the first step to add solar to your home or business.

Our solar and storage workshops are sponsored by the Energy Trust of Oregon. Energy Trust of Oregon provides cash incentives to install solar and contractor connections to experienced trade allies so that obtaining solar for your home or business.

With solar and storage becoming more accessible, homes and businesses across the state are installing systems. We also host solar showcases to highlight these projects and give you a chance to see how your neighbors and fellow Oregonians are using solar power.
