"If you don't know jewelry, know the jeweler." - Warren E. Buffett

The Solar Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit community organization based in Tucson, Arizona. Most of our work is done through direct contact so that we can best serve individual needs.

As much as we would like to be able to respond to all inquiries, our resources are limited and we must limit responses mostly to participants and members, as well as residents of Tucson, Pima County and the rest of Arizona. However, please don't let that stop you. We try to serve the broader community too. If you have an especially interesting project that can advance the fields of building science and sustainability, we would like to hear from you.

When you write please be sure to include your name, address, email address and telephone number, and be patient about the time it may take for us to respond. The more information you provide, the more likely we will be able to help. Remember, if you would like us to respond, be sure to provide your email address and telephone number - we don't use mail.

How to get in touch with us
Here are our addresses for e-mail and postal mail. They are encoded graphically in order to reduce spam.

When requesting a reply by U.S. mail, please help us by enclosing a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Thank you!

We look forward to hearing from you.
