Solar Oregon will be giving a Basics of Solar Workshop (Time TBD) and also tabling at this event!
Our Basics of Solar workshop will cover the basics of why solar is a smart choice for Oregon homeowners. Current financial incentives may cover 70-80% of the cost. We will show how well solar works in Oregon’s climate, identify available solar technologies and financial incentives, and discuss how to go about choosing a contractor. 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.
This workshop is free, but please RSVP to let us know you are coming!
This solar workshop is sponsored by the Energy Trust of Oregon. Energy Trust provides cash incentives to install solar for Oregonians in Portland General Electric and Pacific Power territories.
