Community Solar offers alternative path to support solar energy in Oregon


Customers who want to go solar sometimes find it isn’t feasible for a variety of reasons. They may rent their home, have too little suitable roof space or too much shading to make the investment worthwhile. Even if they can’t feasibly install a system, they may still have an option.

The Oregon Community Solar Program gives Oregon customers of PGE, Pacific Power and Idaho Power another pathway to support and benefit from solar energy. They can subscribe to a Community Solar project and get utility bill credits for their portion of the energy generated by the project. Most people save on annual utility costs, and households meeting low-income guidelines receive subscription discounts and guaranteed savings.

We encourage trade allies to visit the Oregon Community Solar Program website to learn more. You can also download a flyer to share with customers. Trade allies can also contact the program directly for help with questions at info@oregoncsp.org.
