Powering the Portland metro area with reliable solar technology, battery storage, and backup systems. Local expertise for homes, businesses, and communities throughout Beaverton and the Tualatin Valley.
Trusted by Beaverton homeowners, contractors, and businesses since 2018
Beaverton’s energy landscape presents compelling opportunities for solar adoption. With Portland General Electric (PGE) rates climbing nearly 50% since 2020, Pacific Northwest storm season creating grid vulnerabilities, and Oregon’s generous solar incentives stacking to dramatically reduce costs, homeowners and businesses across Washington County are discovering the financial and practical benefits of solar energy and battery storage systems.
Portland General Electric (PGE) residential rates in Beaverton now average approximately 22 cents per kWh—10% above the national average and nearly 50% higher than just five years ago. With the Oregon PUC approving annual rate increases driven by infrastructure investments, data center demand, and clean energy mandates, average monthly bills reach $160–$203. Solar systems lock in your energy costs for 25+ years, providing critical protection as PGE rates continue their steep upward trajectory across Washington County.
The Portland metro area faces windstorms, ice storms, and wildfire smoke events that increasingly threaten grid reliability. The 2021 ice storm left hundreds of thousands without power across the Tualatin Valley, and summer wildfire seasons create extended air quality events. Battery storage and backup generator systems provide essential resilience—keeping your home or business powered when PGE’s grid fails during severe Pacific Northwest weather events.
Despite its Pacific Northwest reputation, Beaverton receives 3.5–4.5 peak sun hours daily and enjoys long summer days with 15+ hours of daylight from May through August. Oregon’s moderate temperatures actually boost panel efficiency—solar panels perform better in cooler conditions than in extreme heat. Combined with Oregon’s exceptional incentive stack (Energy Trust rebates, ODOE Solar + Storage rebates, 100% property tax exemption, 1:1 net metering, and no sales tax), Beaverton offers outstanding solar economics despite fewer sunny days than sunbelt states.
From residential rooftop systems in Beaverton neighborhoods to large-scale commercial and industrial installations across the Portland metro area, we provide complete equipment supply, expert guidance, and reliable logistics. Our team understands the Pacific Northwest’s unique climate demands—persistent rain, moss and debris accumulation, occasional ice storms, and wildfire smoke events.
Complete residential solar equipment packages designed for Beaverton’s Pacific Northwest climate. We supply high-efficiency panels optimized for diffused light conditions and cooler temperatures, rain-resistant microinverters with panel-level optimization, and battery systems that keep your home powered through Oregon’s winter storms and extended cloudy periods.
Average Beaverton homeowners using 944 kWh/month can offset 80–100% of their PGE bill with a properly sized 7–8 kW system. With the 30% federal tax credit, Energy Trust of Oregon rebates, ODOE Solar + Storage rebates, and Oregon’s 100% property tax exemption, payback periods of 10–13 years are typical—with 15–20+ years of essentially free electricity afterward.
Explore Residential Solutions →Commercial-grade solar equipment for Beaverton businesses, tech campuses, retail centers, and industrial facilities throughout Washington County and the Portland metro area. We supply rooftop arrays, ground-mount systems, and carport solar structures—all engineered for Pacific Northwest rain, wind, and snow load conditions.
With PGE commercial rates increasing 7.5% in 2025 alone, businesses can leverage the 30% federal ITC plus accelerated depreciation (MACRS) and Energy Trust of Oregon commercial incentives to achieve payback periods of 6–9 years, with significant ongoing savings and protection against Oregon’s rapidly escalating utility rates for the remaining 20+ year system life.
Explore Commercial Solutions →Battery storage is increasingly important for Beaverton and the Portland metro area, where ice storms, windstorms, and wildfire events cause multi-day power outages across the PGE service territory. We supply leading battery systems from Enphase, Tesla, Sol-Ark, and Fortress Power, all rated for Pacific Northwest conditions with moisture-sealed enclosures.
Oregon’s 1:1 net metering policy means excess solar energy earns full retail-rate credits on your PGE bill, and battery systems allow you to store summer overproduction for winter use. Combined with solar, battery systems provide storm-proof energy independence, wildfire-season resilience, and optimized utility savings for Beaverton homes and businesses.
Explore Storage Solutions →We supply transformer equipment, commercial-grade panels, and large-format battery storage systems with documentation and certifications required for utility interconnection with Portland General Electric and other utilities serving Washington County and the Portland metro area.
Our logistics team coordinates multi-truck deliveries, equipment staging, and phased material releases to match construction timelines for projects ranging from 500kW to 10MW+ across the Beaverton area and Willamette Valley energy corridor.

Shop Generators →Oregon offers one of the strongest solar incentive stacks in the nation. Federal tax credits, Energy Trust of Oregon rebates, ODOE cash rebates, property tax exemptions, 1:1 net metering, and no sales tax combine to create exceptional returns on solar investment for homeowners and businesses across Washington County.
The federal Investment Tax Credit provides a 30% tax credit on the total cost of solar panel and battery storage systems. For a typical Beaverton residential installation costing $25,000–$35,000, this means $7,500–$10,500 directly off your federal tax bill. This remains the single largest incentive available and can be combined with all Oregon state and local incentives for maximum savings.
Oregon provides a 100% property tax exemption for the value added to your home by a qualifying solar energy system. This means your property taxes will not increase after installing solar panels, even though your home value may rise by $15,000–$30,000 or more. Combined with Oregon’s zero sales tax on all solar equipment purchases, this exemption protects your investment and ensures maximum long-term savings for Beaverton homeowners.
Oregon’s 1:1 net metering policy is among the best in the nation—PGE credits you at the full retail rate for every kWh of excess solar energy you send to the grid. Credits accumulated during sunny summer months roll forward to offset winter bills. Additionally, the Energy Trust of Oregon provides cash rebates of $2,500+ for solar installations and separate rebates for battery storage through their Trade Ally Network, while the ODOE Solar + Storage Rebate Program offers up to $5,000 for solar and $2,500 for storage—all stackable with the federal ITC.
Solar panels actually perform more efficiently in cooler temperatures—Oregon’s moderate climate means panels operate near peak efficiency much of the year. Modern panels also harvest energy from diffused light on overcast days. We optimize for Pacific Northwest conditions with:
Over a full year, Beaverton solar installations typically produce 1,000–1,200 kWh per installed kW. While lower than sunbelt states, Oregon’s higher electricity rates (22¢/kWh), exceptional incentive stack, and 1:1 net metering mean the financial returns are competitive with many sunnier locations.
Modern solar panels and mounting systems are engineered for severe weather conditions. The equipment we supply is tested and certified to withstand:
Additionally, most manufacturer warranties cover severe weather damage for 25–30 years. Oregon’s rain actually helps keep panels clean by washing away dust and pollen—a natural advantage that reduces maintenance costs compared to drier climates.
Portland General Electric (PGE) serves Beaverton and most of Washington County. Residential rates now average approximately 22 cents per kWh—among the highest in Oregon and 10% above the national average. Rates have increased nearly 50% since 2020, with 5–6% annual increases approved by the Oregon PUC. Average monthly bills run $160–$203 for typical Beaverton households using around 944 kWh/month.
A typical 7.5kW residential solar system in Beaverton can produce 7,500–9,000 kWh annually, offsetting $1,650–$1,980 in electricity costs per year at current PGE rates. With the 30% federal tax credit, Energy Trust of Oregon rebates ($2,500+), ODOE Solar + Storage rebates (up to $5,000), Oregon’s property tax exemption, and no sales tax, most Beaverton homeowners see payback periods of 10–13 years, with 15–20+ additional years of essentially free electricity.
