Written by

Published on
January 3, 2025

At National Solar, we believe that solar energy and solar battery storage solutions should be accessible and affordable for everyone. As an Oregon Solar + Storage Rebate Program Approved Contractor, we are able to guide you on an affordable journey to solar power with the Energy Trust of Oregon's Solar Within Reach program.

What is the Solar Within Reach program?

‍The Solar Within Reach program is more than just a financial incentive; it's a step towards a greener, more sustainable future. Aimed at income-qualified households in Oregon, this program ensures that the benefits of solar energy are not just limited to the affluent. By democratizing access to solar power, Solar Within Reach aligns seamlessly with broader environmental goals and the global shift towards renewable energy sources.

Who is eligible?

To participate, eligibility revolves around specific income thresholds and being a customer of particular utility providers. This inclusivity ensures that more households can experience the transformative power of solar energy. You can learn about the exact requirements on the Energy Trust of Oregon, Solar Within Reach program website.

How much of an impact can you make?

Solar power is not just about reducing our carbon footprint; it's a financially savvy decision in the long run for all households, regardless of gross annual income. Households can enjoy significant savings on energy bills, contributing both to personal economic stability and broader environmental health.

Additionally, at the heart of the Solar Within Reach program are cutting-edge solar panels and battery storage systems designed to help provide alternative power solutions directly from the sun, and uninterrupted energy supply when the su isn't shining. The Solar Within Reach program is more than just an energy initiative; it's a gateway to a sustainable future for all households.

Ready to go solar, affordably?

Understanding that the upfront cost can be a barrier, the program offers various rebates and financing options. This approach makes the switch to solar an attainable goal for many families, breaking down financial barriers. By participating, households are not only saving on energy bills but also contributing to a healthier planet. Consider the long-term benefits of solar energy and take that first step by contacting National Solar for more information or a free estimate.
