If you’re considering solar energy in Oregon, Oregon solar rebates offer a range of incentives to make installations more affordable. By combining federal, state, and local programs, homeowners can significantly reduce the cost of solar panels and battery systems.
- Residential Clean Energy Tax Credit: This federal program provides a 30% tax credit on the total cost of solar systems, including equipment and installation. For example, a $20,000 system offers a $6,000 credit.
- Oregon Solar + Storage Rebate Program: State rebates include up to $5,000 for solar panel installations and $2,500 for battery systems. Additional rebates are available for low- and moderate-income households, with the condition that an ODOE-approved contractor completes the installation.
- Solar Within Reach Program: Designed for low-income households, this program offers rebates of up to $6,000 for solar and $10,000 for battery storage for Pacific Power customers.
- Local Utility Rebates: Utility providers such as Eugene Water & Electric Board offer $400 per kW for solar installations, up to $2,500, while Salem Electric provides up to $1,500 in rebates.
These programs can be combined, enabling homeowners to maximize savings while transitioning to renewable energy. Working with certified professionals ensures compliance with program requirements and simplifies the application process.
