What to know in Oregon.
ORS 757.300 establishes net metering and distinguishes public utilities from consumer-owned utilities and their governing bodies.
Oregon’s Electrical Specialty Code program publishes the applicable electrical rules and state amendments.
A Pacific Power handbook applies to that utility’s customers, not automatically to every Oregon utility. Ask your utility or consumer-owned provider for its current application and tariff, and the local permit office for inspections.

Find the delivery utility on your electric bill first. A retail supplier or on-site solar seller may be a different company; your delivery utility handles the local grid connection.
State map includes electric and gas utilities. Boundaries are approximate; verify the address with the provider.

Official logo sources · Initials indicate a logo not yet verified. Municipal-owner emblems identify the owning city or village.
Source: EIA-861 final 2025 detailed data · Reporting year 2025. Names and reported counties are historical survey data, not a live address lookup. A county can have several providers, and a listing does not mean every resident can choose it. Small/territory-only reports may not identify residential service separately.
Credits, rebates, and other opportunities.
Check the program’s scope before comparing savings: a tax exemption, equipment rebate, loan and electricity-export payment provide different benefits. Funding, utility territory, income, equipment and installation dates can limit eligibility. Amounts below are not added together or deducted from product prices.
Build a project incentive checklist for Oregon
2 state & utility records
Energy Trust solar and battery incentives
Energy Trust of Oregon · Solar / Storage
The 2026 status report lists solar and battery-storage incentives as open for eligible Portland General Electric and Pacific Power customers.
- Benefit
- Solar and storage incentives differ by utility and income-qualified program; use the current report rather than combining historical offers.
- Who may qualify
- An eligible Oregon site served by a participating utility, qualifying equipment, and program design/installation requirements.
- Before applying or buying
- Work with an approved Solar Trade Ally and reserve the applicable incentive before installation. Confirm current funding and any stacking restrictions.
Oregon Solar + Storage Rebate Program
Oregon Department of Energy · Solar / Storage
The June 2026 update says available funds were fully reserved and new rebate reservation applications are not being accepted.
- Benefit
- No new reservation available at the review date; do not budget a state rebate as secured.
- Who may qualify
- Program requirements apply if funding reopens; solar-only and solar-plus-storage rules differ.
- Before applying or buying
- A reservation is required before construction or installation. Follow the state’s updates rather than starting work on the assumption of a rebate.
No matching records in this reviewed selection. Check the official program sources for more options.
Selected official opportunities, not a complete inventory. Eligibility, participating utilities, available funds and application timing must be confirmed for the service address. This is a curated starting list, not every local incentive or a guarantee of available funding.
Federal programs in every state
The federal rules below apply nationally. State-administered federal rebates still require the local program to be operating and your project to meet its conditions.
Residential Clean Energy Credit (25D)
Closed / endedNot available for new property placed in service after December 31, 2025. Do not assume a federal 30% credit for a new 2026 solar, wind, geothermal or battery installation.
IRS: Residential Clean Energy CreditEnergy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C)
Closed / endedThe federal home-efficiency credit, including qualifying heat-pump improvements, ended for property placed in service after December 31, 2025.
IRS: Energy Efficient Home Improvement CreditHOMES / High-Efficiency Electric Home Rebates
Eligibility / funding conditionsFederally funded home-energy rebates operate through participating local administrators. Check the state program’s launch, current funding, eligible measures and application requirements. This is not a blanket rooftop-solar rebate.
DOE: Home Energy Rebates ProgramWeatherization Assistance Program
Eligibility / funding conditionsIncome-eligible households may receive approved home-weatherization services through local agencies. This is assistance delivered through a program, rather than an automatic reimbursement for equipment you buy.

Permits and electrical codes.
Confirm the adopted electrical, building and fire code editions and amendments with the authority issuing the permit. A utility approval does not replace construction permits or inspections.
Use the adoption authority linked below to check the effective date and amendments. The newest published NEC edition is not automatically the edition adopted for your project.
Before ordering equipment.
Two conversations. Keep their answers separate.
Track permits and interconnection in a project
- Confirm the permit authority
Ask the city, county, or state electrical office which building, electrical and fire-code editions and amendments apply to this address. Request the solar/ESS permit checklist and inspection sequence.
- Confirm the utility process
Give the serving utility your proposed capacity, inverter model and operating mode. Ask which interconnection application, tariff, export limits, meter changes and written operating authorization apply.
- Document the exact equipment
Collect model-specific certificates, installation manuals, a one-line diagram, site/roof plans, and the battery/inverter pairing if storage is proposed. Check them with the permit authority and utility before ordering.
For the general permitting and inspection process: DOE: Permitting and Inspection for Rooftop Solar .
UL, NEMA, and system acceptance.
Different evidence, different scope.
Check the exact model and approved system configuration. A UL 1973 battery listing or UL 9540A fire-test report does not, by itself, establish UL 9540 certification of a complete storage system.
Open the UL & NEMA referenceScope and system-level certification: UL Solutions: Energy Storage System Testing and Certification .
Official sources.
Open the source for current forms, eligibility, tariffs, and adopted rules. Utility-specific examples apply to that provider.
