Electrify Everything (As part of Sustainable Buildings Week)
Join Solar Oregon, Forth, Community Energy Project and others for an evening dedicated to electrifying everything.
As part of Sustainable Building Week, we’ll be exploring the idea that electricity is the quickest and most realistic form of CO2 emission free energy. We’ll talk about how to switch household appliances and transportation to the most energy efficient electric form and finally how to provide that energy through renewables — ideally from local sources, like solar on our rooftops.
Solar Oregon will be presenting the “Average person’s guide to electrifying everything” and will be joined by Forth who will be presenting on electrifying transportation and Community Energy Project who will be talking about their work with heat pump hot water heaters.
This event is free and open to all.
Thanks to event sponsors Vacasa for hosting us in their Pearl Headquarters.
Workshops & Webinars
Solar Oregon provides a variety of solar workshops and webinars. In our monthly How to Go Solar + Storage webinar, we will answer your questions about how solar works, share information about incentives available, and help you take the first step to add solar to your home or business. Participants will come away with basic knowledge about solar energy systems and will be prepared to do more focused research on their own, or start working with a contractor right away.
Our solar and storage workshops are sponsored by the Energy Trust of Oregon. Energy Trust of Oregon provides cash incentives to install solar and contractor connections to experienced trade allies so that obtaining solar for your home or business.

With solar and storage becoming more accessible, homes and businesses across the state are installing systems. We also host solar showcases to highlight these projects and give you a chance to see how your neighbors and fellow Oregonians are using solar power.
