Residential Solar with Synchro Solar
A Smart, Long-Term Investment for Your Home
Going solar is one of the best ways to take control of your energy future. While the federal 30% tax credit wrapped up for new installations at the end of 2025, strong local incentives in Oregon and Washington make solar more accessible and affordable than ever in 2026. You'll generate your own clean power, slash your utility bills, and enjoy predictable energy costs for 25+ years—often with immediate monthly savings.
Solar adds real value to your home too—many buyers see it as a desirable feature. It's a solid investment that pays dividends through lower bills, energy independence, and a smaller carbon footprint. We're here to walk you through the numbers specific to your home—no pressure, just honest insights.
Oregon: Energy Trust Cash Incentives
If you're in Oregon (served by PGE, Pacific Power, or other participating utilities), Energy Trust of Oregon provides generous upfront cash incentives that reduce your out-of-pocket costs right away. These come as a check applied directly to your project, often $2,500 flat for standard residential systems in 2026, with even higher amounts (up to $5,500 or more) available through Solar Within Reach for income-qualified households.
Incentives vary by your utility, system size, and design efficiency, and they're subject to availability, rates can change, so acting sooner helps lock them in. We handle the paperwork and stay current on the latest offers. Check the Energy Trust website for details, or let us run your eligibility.
Washington: Sales Tax Exemption
In Southwest Washington, you get a full exemption from state and local sales tax on qualifying solar systems (typically 1–100 kW)—saving you 8–10%+ on the total project cost, depending on your area (e.g., around Seattle it's often over 10%). This perk runs through at least the end of 2029 and applies to equipment and installation.
Combined with net metering (earning credits for excess power sent to the grid), it makes solar a no-brainer for cutting bills and building resilience against rising rates. We guide you through the exemption certificate and any utility-specific programs.
Why Solar Still Makes Sense in 2026
Electricity prices continue climbing faster than inflation in our region, driven by grid demands and other factors. By producing your own power, you protect yourself from those hikes and gain peace of mind, sunshine is free and reliable!
