Key Incentives Making It Affordable in 2026

Strong local and federal perks are still available, though some are time-sensitive, so acting now locks in the best value.

• Oregon Businesses (Energy Trust of Oregon): Cash incentives reduce upfront costs for both planning and installation. Energy Trust offers development assistance to offset the cost of a professional feasibility study, custom system design, and cost-benefit analysis—helping you explore solar with low risk. Installation incentives vary by system size, utility (e.g., PGE, Pacific Power), and project type, with higher amounts possible for nonprofits, Tribal Nations, or affordable housing. We handle the application and stay on top of current rates, check the Energy Trust Solar for Business page for the latest.
• Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC): Businesses can claim a 30% tax credit on the total installed cost (equipment, labor, etc.) for qualifying projects—often combined with accelerated depreciation (MACRS) for even bigger savings. Deadlines apply (e.g., start construction soon to maximize eligibility), so consult your tax advisor. This stacks with state perks for impressive ROI.
• Southwest Washington Businesses: Enjoy a full state and local sales tax exemption on qualifying solar systems (up to 100 kW, covering most commercial setups), saving you 8-10%+ right away on equipment and installation. Many utilities offer net metering, crediting excess power back to your bill. No major cash rebates like Oregon, but the tax savings and ongoing bill reductions make solar highly attractive.
