This free workshop covers the basics of why solar is a smart choice for Oregon. We have broken this workshop into 2 parts. The first part will cover:

How well solar works in Oregon's climate
Available solar technologies and how they fit into your overall energy use
How to choose a contractor
Site considerations

In the second half of the workshop we will cover the financial considerations of going solar including:

Financial incentives, tax credits
Feed in Tariff Pilot program
Leasing and power purchase options
Financing options

Residential tax credits and incentives often pay for up to 80% of the cost!

Participants will come away with basic knowledge about solar energy systems and will be prepared to do more focused research on their own and start working with a contractor.
