We’re helping people in Portland get maximum solar savings with no upfront costs Portland Continues to Be a Trailblazer Imagine a world run on renewable energy. This is the inspiration behind Portland’s commitment to 100% renewable electricity by 2035. A commitment like this deserves a round of applause, and we couldn’t be happier that residential solar is playing a big part in helping the environment. It is a misconception that Portland is a poor choice for solar. As stated by The City of Portland, “While Portland certainly endures long stretches of cloudy winter and spring days, we also enjoy lots of lengthy, uninterrupted days of summer and fall sunshine. In fact, Portland gets substantially more sun than Germany—the world’s leader in reliable, pollution-free solar energy use.” Our solar company is part of an effort to install 1,770 MW (megawatts) of solar throughout Oregon over the next 5 years. That’s enough to power 1.7 million houses in Portland. And this means big utility savings for you. Installing solar panels on your roof earns you significant Federal and Oregon state tax credits. But it gets even better because Blue Raven Solar is a member of the Energy Trust of Oregon Trade Ally Network, so you can qualify for additional solar cash rebates.
