USDA REAP solar grants for Oregon farms
The Rural Energy for America Program helps farmers and rural businesses pay for solar. Here is how it works in Oregon.
From eligibility to install
- Step 1
Confirm eligibility
Agricultural producers with at least half of gross income from farming or ranching, and small businesses in rural areas, can apply. Your project must be on property you own or control.
- Step 2
Get an energy assessment and quote
Applications need a site-specific solar design, cost estimate and projected production. We provide these with an NREL-based production model.
- Step 3
Register and apply
Register in SAM.gov, then submit to USDA Rural Development's Oregon office before a quarterly deadline. Projects over $200,000 need a full technical report.
- Step 4
Install after award
Work should start only after you receive the award letter, since costs incurred before the application date generally aren't eligible.
We prepare the solar side of your application
System design, cost estimate and production model for irrigation pumps, shops, barns and processing buildings, with ground mounts sized for your land.
