The state of Oregon is known for being peculiar. Some of the appeal for Oregon includes no sales tax, a breathtaking coastline, and yes – a lot of rain. Despite the gloomy weather patterns, Oregon is a great place for homeowners to make the switch to solar energy. In fact, solar panels can still perform on cloudy days. With enough solar energy installed to power over 200,000 homes in the state, Oregon homeowners can join the solar revolution and make the switch to solar today. 

 

Solar prices have fallen 43% in the last 10 years and there are several federal and local incentives to make the switch easier. You can save on energy bills, increase your home’s value, and contribute to a greener future with solar.

SOLAR SAVINGS IN OREGON

Oregon has one of the most beautiful and diverse landscapes in the United States of America. From the coastline, to rivers and lakes and forests, lovers of the outdoors have plenty to do and see in Oregon. It is also one of the most biking friendly states, and one of the most environmentally friendly places to live.

 

Because Oregon homeowners love nature, it’s no surprise the state is a huge supporter of solar energy. In fact, they love solar so much they want 50% of energy production to be through renewable energy resources by 2040. With that said, let’s see the local solar benefits Oregon is offering to their citizens:

NET METERING

Oregon is a great state to be a solar owner because all utilities must offer net metering. This means all excess energy production will carry over to your next month’s bill. Unfortunately, Oregon’s net metering program does not roll over more than one month.

SOLAR REBATES

In January of 2020, Oregon began a new solar rebates program offering new residential solar buyers $0.20 per watt on their system. There is a catch on how much this rebate can save you as it has a maximum payout of $5,000 or 40% of the cost of your system.

PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTIONS

All solar panels in Oregon are exempt from property tax. This means the extra value added to your home from your solar system will not be added to your property tax.

ENERGY SAVINGS MORTGAGE INCENTIVE FOR EXISTING HOMES

Any new home buyers who put solar on their roof are eligible for a state program that will help you pay for your mortgage for 120 days. By adding energy efficiency upgrades and a renewable energy system, you could qualify for $750-$3,000 in savings.

SHOULD I GO SOLAR IN OREGON?

More and more Oregon residents are making the switch to solar with the help of local and federal incentives.

 

At Blue Raven Solar, we believe solar power is the future of energy, today. While many solar companies focus on markets where it’s sunny and solar might be a more obvious choice, we want to give homeowners everywhere a chance to go solar with a top-tier solar company. Some might think Oregon is too gloomy and rainy for solar panels to be worth it, but what they don’t know is that it can still save Oregon homeowners thousands of dollars while helping them to reduce their carbon emissions. Solar panels can still produce energy in cloudy weather, and Oregon receives more sun than Germany, one of the world’s leaders in solar energy.

 

Energy is more than numbers on your utility meter or the cost of your monthly electrical bill. Everything you do to help conserve energy has a major impact on our environment. And as a bonus, it has a positive effect on your finances. Solar power protects you from rising energy costs and increases the value of your home. Less than 3% of the current U.S. population are enjoying the benefits and savings of solar energy. Our joy is knowing our customers are saving money and reducing their carbon impact. We want the same for you.

 

With the Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) of 30% and local incentives, Oregon residents are jumping at the chance to become a part of the renewable energy movement. These incentives, along with monthly utility bill savings, make solar make a lot of sense for the Oregon homeowner. Also, utility prices will continue to rise every year, so the savings from going solar will also increase. We’re excited to help you throughout your solar journey and hope to help you make a positive impact on the environment while saving you thousands on your electricity bill!

Choosing the best solar company in Oregon to work with is important.

Here’s what we would like you to know about us:

The crew that installed the panels was excellent 👍. They arrived on time and were very efficient and friendly as well as respectful. The area... was cleaned up after the install and they.let us know when they were finished. They explained what would happen next as they gave us a tour of new boxes.Before all this could happen,there was the delivery of the panels in the morning. He arrived just after 7am, let us know he was here and offloaded the panels etc. in no time.Then after the panels were installed, the electrician came down from Portland to finish the hookup.All was well coordinated, all the specialists were outstanding. Congratulations and thank you. God bless you.read more
