There has never been a better time than now to go solar in Oregon. With financial incentives from the Energy Trust of Oregon, State and Federal tax credits, and new ways to finance your investment, going solar is easy and affordable.

Solar electricity is the Sustainable Solution to:

• Energy Independence. When you produce your own power, you are providing for yourself and family.
• Rising Energy Costs. Power prices increase every year. By investing in solar now, you set the price of power, and lock in your energy rates for the life of the system.
• Dirty Electricity. Even here in the Pacific Northwest where we have a great resource for hydro electricity, 40% of our power comes from coal power plants.

A solar electric system consists of an array of solar modules (or panels) and a power inverter. A solar panel array is a term used to describe multiple solar panels that are connected; a typical home system (3 kW system) has about 14 panels, depending on the make and model of the panels. The power inverter changes the DC electricity that the solar panel creates into AC electricity that is used in your home and on the power grid.

The solar electric system connects through the inverter directly to your home electrical panel.  The solar panels directly power your home energy needs.  When you aren't using electricity at home, the system automatically diverts the electricity generated through your utility meter and back onto the grid. 

You are credited for this electricity your are delivering back to the grid at a one to one credit for what you pay.  These credits are good for one year.  We will work with you to size your system appropriately so that you have no unused credits at the end of the year.  Unused credits are donated to a low income housing program.
