Oregon homeowners can receive a rebate of up to $5,000 for a solar electric system and up to $2,500 for an energy storage system. The solar and/or storage installations must be installed on real property in Oregon by an ODOE-approved contractor. Rebates are issued to approved contractors, who pass the savings on to customers. The contractor must submit a reservation application before starting construction or installation of a solar system or paired solar and storage system to be eligible for the rebate.
How do I receive the rebate?
The rebate is paid to the approved contractor who installs the system. So, you will not need to pay the amount in advance and wait for a rebate check. The savings are simply taken off the total cost of the system.
It is suggested that you start by reaching out to an approved contractor to talk about your project as they can also help identify other potential solar savings.
