Welcome to the Utah Solar Tour 2008 The Utah Solar Energy Association (UTSEA), in concert with more than 40 sponsors and 55 homes and facilities, is pleased to welcome you to the Utah Solar Tour 2008. We are proud to join states across the nation as part of the National Solar Tour sponsored by the American Solar Energy Society (ASES).
Utah’s 13th annual tour provides an opportunity for you to see solar thermal, solar photovoltaic, passive solar technologies, wind and thermal technologies. On this tour you will meet solar energy users, homeowners and business owners who are excited to share how they are utilizing the sun to help meet their electricity, hot water and heating needs. Ultimately the tour inspires people across the nation to make sustainable energy choices that help lower costs, support energy independence, protect against power outages, and reduce carbon emissions. An increasing focus of the tour is on energy-saving techniques and sustainability through building design, energy efficient appliances, and use of green materials during remodeling. Tours also provide helpful, real-world examples of costs and how to save money with federal, state, and local incentives. We invite you to join the renewable energy revolution by participating in the 2008 Utah Solar Tour.
See you on the tour!

eco panels SIPS : THE ULTIMATE CHOICE IN GREEN CONSTRUCTION Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are ecologically friendly, high performance building panels that replace the conventional methods of building floors, walls and roofs. Made from renewable resources and partially-recycled material, SIPs are not only manufactured with the environment in mind but a SIPs home uses 60% less energy compared to a typical home and the pre-cut panels insure that there are less materials wasted at the job site. Ecopanels is Utah’s first full service SIPs Distributor and Installer utilizing the best and most affordable, ecologically friendly building practices and materials in the industry. FIND OUT MORE AT

LiteALife Humanitarian
Empowering the Light of Hope... In our goal to improve living conditions for people in rural areas of the undeveloped world, Tifie has helped develop self-contained, solar-powered energy units that provide an efficient and clean source of energy for homes and small buildings in these remote areas. These compact units, called LiteALife, can provide enough electricity for a small home or home business. Prototypes of these units are currently operating in the Democratic Republic of Congo at the Kamitatu farm school, in the outskirts of Kinshasa, and in our agricultural compound at Dumi.

Welcome to the Utah Solar Tour 2008 The Utah Solar Energy Association (UTSEA), in concert with more than 40 sponsors and 55 homes and facilities, is pleased to welcome you to the Utah Solar Tour 2008. We are proud to join states across the nation as part of the National Solar Tour sponsored by the American Solar Energy Society (ASES).
Utah’s 13th annual tour provides an opportunity for you to see solar thermal, solar photovoltaic, passive solar technologies, wind and thermal technologies. On this tour you will meet solar energy users, homeowners and business owners who are excited to share how they are utilizing the sun to help meet their electricity, hot water and heating needs. Ultimately the tour inspires people across the nation to make sustainable energy choices that help lower costs, support energy independence, protect against power outages, and reduce carbon emissions. An increasing focus of the tour is on energy-saving techniques and sustainability through building design, energy efficient appliances, and use of green materials during remodeling. Tours also provide helpful, real-world examples of costs and how to save money with federal, state, and local incentives. We invite you to join the renewable energy revolution by participating in the 2008 Utah Solar Tour.
See you on the tour!

eco panels SIPS : THE ULTIMATE CHOICE IN GREEN CONSTRUCTION Structural insulated panels (SIPs) are ecologically friendly, high performance building panels that replace the conventional methods of building floors, walls and roofs. Made from renewable resources and partially-recycled material, SIPs are not only manufactured with the environment in mind but a SIPs home uses 60% less energy compared to a typical home and the pre-cut panels insure that there are less materials wasted at the job site. Ecopanels is Utah’s first full service SIPs Distributor and Installer utilizing the best and most affordable, ecologically friendly building practices and materials in the industry. FIND OUT MORE AT

LiteALife Humanitarian
Empowering the Light of Hope... In our goal to improve living conditions for people in rural areas of the undeveloped world, Tifie has helped develop self-contained, solar-powered energy units that provide an efficient and clean source of energy for homes and small buildings in these remote areas. These compact units, called LiteALife, can provide enough electricity for a small home or home business. Prototypes of these units are currently operating in the Democratic Republic of Congo at the Kamitatu farm school, in the outskirts of Kinshasa, and in our agricultural compound at Dumi.
To learn more about Tifie and our humanitarian efforts, visit us at www.tifie.org
