Incentives
to go solar

Most renewable energy projects in Oregon are eligible for utility rebates and incentives.

These incentives help offset the cost of the initial investment to install a solar electric system, which in turn shortens the amount of time required for your power bill savings to result in a net positive return on your investment.

Rebates & tax credits

The incentives you may qualify for depend on which utility’s territory your project will be built in. First, let us update you on tax credits:

  • The 25D 30% residential solar tax credit sunset on December 31, 2025.
  • For commercial projects, many curtailments were created by the oil industry’s paid politicians to sunset the 30% federal tax credit as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB). This program, which has greatly supported renewable energy adoption across the United States, will now go away on December 31, 2027.

Our team will help you decipher your eligibility for all incentives, but for now you can simply select your utility below to get an overview of what is likely available in your area at this time.

Interested in Solar Pricing?

The best way to compare solar quotes is to look at the Price-Per-Watt for an installed system. The Energy Trust of Oregon tracks these trend here. The current average is $2.93/Watt DC, before factoring utility incentives. For grid-tied systems, Energy Design Co. tends to offer a range of $2.15-3.20/Watt!

This form will give you a general idea of the amount you can expect to pay for the average PV solar system, 8.8kW (roughly 22 panels on a roof producing 10,000 kW hours a year), by factoring in specific rebates and incentives you may qualify for.
