Sun Day
2025-09-01 - 2025-09-30 | WI
Sun Day, Third Act, Third Act Wisconsin, and Why “Open House” Solar Tours

Sun Day is a nation-wide set of actions, peaking on September 21, 2025, celebrating and promoting solar and wind power, and the movement to leave fossil fuels behind.

The national organization called Third Act, led by Bill McKibben, is a primary organizer of Sun Day. Third Act engages people 60+ years old in fostering the transition to renewable energy while protecting our democracy.

Third Act Wisconsin (TAWI) is one of 34 state-level working groups within Third Act.

Operating on the assumption that many Wisconsinites are curious but not well informed about solar, I (a member of the TAWI team organizing Sun Day events in Wisconsin) am organizing open house tours of notable solar installations like yours in diverse places across Wisconsin, anticipating that curious people will attend and learn. One way people can attend is by finding and then registering on the “Events” page of the Sun Day website.

On September 28, in Madison, Wisconsin, we’ll march for solar power, clean energy jobs, science, environmental justice, conservation, and democracy. We have the technology and solutions. Now we need the political will to make clean energy accessible to all!
Join founding members 350 Wisconsin, Elevate, and Sierra Club, along with a coalition of grassroots organizations, clean energy experts, solar businesses, schools, affordable housing, farmers, labor unions, and creative partners!
We’re coming together to march to send a message: Climate Can’t Wait! We need a clear demonstration of public support for solar, renewable power, and rigorous science; opposition to the fossil fuels that are killing our planet; and an end to the era of being ruled by fascists, oligarchs, and fossil fuel billionaires.
It’s time to tell Wisconsin’s decision-makers: we demand that they protect the environment, our scientific institutions, and our democracy!
