Texas Solar Energy Society (TXSES)
The Texas Solar Energy Society (TXSES) promotes clean, safe, locally harvested solar energy for every
Texan. A 501(c)(3), we educate citizens on the value of solar energy and passive solar design for
residential and commercial projects as well as the rapidly expanding offerings of community solar. Solar
power delivers inexhaustible, pollution-free, and affordable energy that conserves water and creates
good-paying jobs.
TXSES collaborates with Austin Energy Green Building on the nationally recognized Cool House Tour.
A chapter of the American Solar Energy Society, TXSES in turn has chapters in Houston, North Texas,
Austin, and San Antonio. All work to educate citizens on the use of solar and renewable resources. The
Houston Solar Tour, DFW Solar Tour, Bluebonnet Solar Tour, Hill Country Solar Tour, and San Antonio’s
Solar Fest represent the Texas components of the ASES National Solar Tour and Solar Austin works to
expand the city’s solar goals with an active citizen campaign.
