Portland Solar Installation
& Home Battery Storage

Employee-Owned & Mission-Driven Since 2007

Portland homeowners are wondering why their electricity bill is so high, and for good reason. In 2025, Portlanders are paying 50% more for electricity than they did just 5 years ago. Coupled with the financial strain, blackouts from heatwaves, wildfires and winter storms have made power outages more common. With an aging grid and unpredictable weather, relying on Portland General Electric and Pacific Power is becoming more expensive—and less reliable.

At A&R Solar, we design custom solar energy & battery storage systems that are built for Portland’s climate—helping you lower your energy bills and keep the lights on, so you can take control of your power.

Home Battery Storage

Portland homeowners know that power outages are becoming more common—whether from winter storms, summer heatwaves, or wildfire-related grid failures. While solar panels alone won’t keep the lights on during a blackout, pairing them with home battery storage ensures you have power when you need it most.

With home battery storage, you’ll store excess solar energy, rely less on the grid, and cut down on rising utility costs—all while keeping your home running through outages. Take control of your energy future with a custom solar and battery solution built for Portland’s unique climate.

We offer two battery storage systems:

What Portland Solar Customers Say About A&R Solar

  • I had a system installed about three weeks ago and couldn’t be more pleased. Communication was excellent. The quality of workmanship was top notch. The installation crew was very careful, professional and friendly. Even the city inspector was impressed with the quality of work and materials. Thank you A&R.

    – Russell H.

  • A&R Solar provided me with first-class service from the beginning to the end of the process of adding a solar system to my house. I cannot praise highly enough the team who initiated my contact, made sure I got the available government rebates, installed the panels and made sure the interface with my utility provider went smoothly, and answered my every question promptly. Absolutely 5 stars!

    – Dean W.

  • I don't do five-star ratings lightly, but these guys (and gals) deserve it. From initial consultation to final delivery, everything went smoothly and communication was excellent. We're very happy with the results.

    – Steve Z.

  • A&R is a great company. Every person I dealt with was kind and professional. They provided clear explanation of the timeline and each step of the process. I recommend them highly.

    – Kristel M.

  • After months of looking and shopping around for different solar companies we chose A&R. The price, warranties, clarity in the sales process, quality of work and product were all better than other companies, and so far our research has paid off. The experience of dealing with A&R has been great so far, with strong early communication and great attention to detail when installing our system. My system just got turned on today so I'm sure things will arise as time goes on but we are happy with A&R and would highly recommend them if you want to go solar.
