Solar panels for your home
Why Install Solar in Oregon and Washington
Electric bills keep rising. Power outages are becoming more frequent, while utilities are charging more during peak times.
Tired of feeling powerless every time your bill goes up or the power goes out?
Solar changes that
A home solar system gives you the power to take control: lowering your energy bills, keeping your lights on with solar paired with battery backup, and turning your home into your personal power plant. In cities like Seattle, Portland, Tacoma, Redmond, and beyond, solar isn’t just a smart move; it’s a solution built for life in the Northwest.
Problem | Solution |
Rising Utility Costs Electricity rates in Oregon and Washington are increasing. Utilities like PGE, Puget Sound Energy, and Seattle City Light are hiking rates year after year. | Installing solar panels for your home in Washington or Oregon lets you generate your own power and reduce or eliminate your monthly utility bill. |
Frequent Power Outages Our power grid is outdated and vulnerable to windstorms, wildfires, and heat waves. Outages are becoming more frequent across the Northwest. | Pair your solar energy system with a battery storage system like Tesla Powerwall or FranklinWH to keep the lights on during blackouts. |
Time-of-Use Charges Some Washington and Oregon utilities are moving to time-of-use rates, meaning your electricity costs more when demand is highest. | Your solar system will offset high-rate usage during peak hours, helping you avoid time-of-use charges and maximize your energy savings. |
Climate Concerns Homeowners are looking for ways to reduce their environmental impact, but many homes still rely heavily on gas and coal-powered electricity. | Clean, renewable solar energy helps your home go green and reduces emissions. |
