Skilled.
Experienced.
Trustworthy.

We are your locally owned, locally operated solar contractor, making a difference in Oregon for two decades.

We were founded in 2004 on the idea that helping homeowners and business owners install renewable, sustainable solar energy systems provides long-term benefit to our community and the planet.

We believe in some simple, timeless values: hard work, pride in workmanship, building things to last. At the same time, we are driven by new ideas: to reduce our collective impact on the planet and to implement new technologies that can help solve some of our world’s big problems.
