Energy Trust of Oregon provides increased incentives to income-qualified homeowners in Oregon when they install solar with a qualifying contractor and are a customer of Portland General Electric or Pacific Power. To participate, customers must own and live in a single-family home, manufactured home, floating home, condo or multifamily residence that is either an attached side-by-side unit or a duplex, triplex or fourplex.

  4 Resident   $106,944
  5 Resident   $124,056
  6 Resident   $141,166

PGE:  $1.50/W, up to $9,000 per home

Pacific Power:  $0.80/W, up to $4,800 per home

Energy Trust will provide referrals to contractors from their Trade Ally Network (self-installed systems will not qualify). The solar contractor selected advises the customer on installation options and best siting designs to obtain the maximum performance and satisfaction from the solar electric system. The contractor will provide a system quote that estimates the PV system annual performance, installation date, and the cost after Energy Trust incentive deductions. After Energy Trust approves the customer's PV system, the buy-down incentive will be paid to the solar contractor and deducted from the final cost.
