I have to say, I didn’t know there was a “SolarDay” until recently, but I guess that is partly because it wasn’t founded until 2009. Nonetheless, it has already grown into a worldwide event.
SolarDay is celebrated on a weekend day before the Summer Solstice (the longest day of the year), which will be Saturday, June 19th, this year.
Last year, more than 700 media stories were written about SolarDay. I imagine there will be more than that this year.

With new solar group discount opportunities popping up around the country, perhaps this is the week you have been waiting for to get solar on your home or business.

In theory, your most exclusive and best content goes behind a paywall. But then fewer people read it! We just don't like paywalls, and so we've decided to ditch ours. Unfortunately, the media business is still a tough, cut-throat business with tiny margins. It's a never-ending Olympic challenge to stay above water or even perhaps — gasp — grow. So ...
