Two separate events focus the spotlight on solar this week. First, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is highlighting clean energy grants distributed across the state including a $46,875 award to Wampler’s Sausage in Lenoir City. The company will be hosting a press event to highlight the project as well as other East Tennessee installations at 10:30 a.m. Thursday. For more info see http://gosolar.ning.com.
Also on tap, the Knoxville Solar Tour and Fair to be held 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday. The fair part of the event, with booths and solar workshops, will be held at the Krutch Park Extension.
