Solar power FAQs
The cost of solar panels in Oregon depends on the size, components, and configuration of your system, as well as your local labor and permitting costs. That being said, the average cost of an Oregon solar system is $37,829 before any tax credits and other financial incentives.
Solar power can be an excellent investment to lower your energy costs over many years all while reducing your carbon footprint. However, solar energy isn’t for everyone. Whether it’s a good investment for your home will depend on how much direct sunlight your roof gets and how much you currently spend on electricity.
The amount you can save by investing in solar power depends on your regular energy usage and how long it takes to recover your installation costs, which is unique to each household. As of February 2023, Oregon residents paid an average of $114.19 per month on electricity. As a result, the average savings could be as much as $1,370 per year if you invest in a system that completely covers your energy usage.
