You can find visible passes of the solar sail on Heavens Above here: https://heavens-above.com/PassSummary.aspx?satid=59588
You have to set your location! Click through on the top right, otherwise it will assume you're at coordinates 0,0.
It's in a polar orbit so there is literally nowhere on earth that won't have a visible pass at some point. On the 5th here there's one directly overhead, I'll try to go find some darker skies.
