Don’t rent your power. Own it.
Go solar today and save money for decades
INCENTIVE UPDATE! Congress extended the federal solar tax credit (known as the ITC) for an additional two years. This means that you’ll receive a tax credit of 26% of your system’s cost in 2021 and 2022 and 22% in 2023. A tax credit is a dollar-for-dollar reduction of the income tax you owe. If you can’t use the full value in one year, you can roll over the remainder to next year. You should check with a tax adviser to make sure you can claim the entire value.
The extension of the ITC demonstrates how committed the federal government is to growing solar across the country. Solar is here to stay.

Don’t take our word for it…
Here’s what some of our customers have to say about us and their solar energy systems. Don’t hesitate to ask for references–we’re happy to connect you.
Does solar really work in Southwest Washington?
Yes, it does! Here’s how.
During our long sunny summer days, your solar panels will produce more energy than your home will consume. That excess energy is sent back to the grid, and you are given credits. You can use those credits during our short winter days when your system isn’t producing as much power.
Consider it your own solar savings account.

Believe or not, Vancouver and Southwest Washington is perfectly suited for solar power. During our long summer days, you’ll send extra energy back to the grid, resulting in credits with your utility that you can use during the winter months.
Our team focuses on quality and craftsmanship on each project, whether it’s a 5kW solar energy system for a home or a 500kW solar farm for an electrical utility. We work to empower residents of Vancouver, Camas, Longview, Long Beach, and beyond with the latest PV solar technology like Tesla Powerwall and our deep experience and passion for the industry.

Does solar work in Southwest Washington?
Yes! Our long summer days make it perfect for solar. A program called net metering allows home and business owners to build up credits during the long summer days when solar energy systems are producing excess power. That energy gets pushed back to the grid and used by neighbors. The solar homeowner gets a credit on their electricity bill.
