Oregon Community Solar Program
The Oregon Community Solar Program gives thousands of Oregonians new opportunities to go solar without needing to own a home, have a sunny roof, or make upfront payments. Many people subscribe to a large off-site solar project and share which show up as a credit on your utility bill. CEP connects income qualified customers to the program. For those who exceed the income guidelines visit the website.
There is a monthly fee, but for income-qualified participants, it will always be smaller than the credit.
Why Go Solar?
It’s good for the planet, it’s local, and it’s accessible. It’s a great option for people who don’t own their roof, are likely to move, and don’t have the money for upfront payments but still want to be a part of the clean energy movement. All projects are built in Oregon, and they will exist because of your support.
Do you qualify?
All participants have to live in Oregon and be customers of either Pacific Power, Portland General Electric, or Idaho Power. Low-Income subscriptions have additional protections, such as discounted subscription fees, protection from bill increases, no sign-up fees, and no termination fees. You can live in any type of home, and be a renter or owner.
