What warranties are included?

Every National Solar installation includes a 10-year workmanship warranty on our labor, a 25-year manufacturer warranty on solar panels, and a 15-year battery warranty if applicable. System monitoring is included so you can see daily production in real time.

How long does the whole process take?

Assessment to installation is typically 4 to 6 weeks. The installation itself takes one day. We handle permitting, design, utility interconnection paperwork, and all local inspections, so you do not manage any of it.

What if I move before the system is paid off?

Solar adds to your home's resale value. Studies show 4 to 6 percent on average. The system transfers to the new owner, and your net metering agreement typically transfers as well. Most customers find solar is a selling advantage, not a complication.

Does the Energy Trust rebate apply to my utility?

Energy Trust of Oregon incentives are available to customers of PGE and Pacific Power. CEC, Salem Electric, EWEB, and other utilities operate under different programs. We outline what is available for your specific utility during your assessment.

What offset percentage should I expect?

Most Oregon homes achieve 80 to 100 percent offset, meaning solar covers 80 to 100 percent of your annual kWh usage. The exact figure depends on your roof's orientation, shading, and system size. We give you the specific number upfront before you commit to anything.

Will solar eliminate my utility bill completely?

Not entirely. Every utility charges a base or facility fee regardless of solar: PGE around $16/mo, Pacific Power around $14/mo, EWEB around $38.50/mo, Salem Electric around $24/mo, and CEC around $31/mo. Solar eliminates the energy charge, the large variable part that escalates every year. Most customers see their total bill drop to the base charge plus a fixed loan payment.

The cost of waiting

Utility rates only move one way: up.

Your utility still keeps your home connected. Solar reduces how much power you need to buy as rates rise, giving you more control over a bill that otherwise changes without your say.
