This five minute video finds Neil Merrilees up on the roof with Dennis Paull in Half Moon Bay. Dennis, one of the organizers of the Eco-Solar Tour, has installed a variety of green additions to his home.

The third annual Eco-Solar Tour takes place this Saturday from 1-4 pm. You can visit their web page here.

The overall theme is “Sustainability” and the 25 stops on the tour (which you can visit in any order, skipping as you wish) feature not only solar technologies but also low-water landscaping, hybrid cars, and other examples of sustainability.

To obtain the tour map you will need to register [link].
