July 2025 Oregon Residential Solar Update

Written by
National Solar
Published on
October 15, 2025

Act Now: Tax Credit Deadline + New Tech + Local Incentives

If you’ve been waiting to go solar, this is the moment to act. The 30% federal solar tax credit is set to expire after December 31, 2025—and new legislation may lock that deadline in for good*.

Between expiring incentives, upgraded tech like REC Solar Panels, Enphase and Chilcon microinverters, and exciting local programs with the Energy Trust of Oregon, there’s never been a better time to own your power in Oregon.

Save Big—While You Still Can

The Senate’s new budget bill narrows the window for solar incentives. Homeowners must have their systems installed by December 31, 2025 to get the full 30% federal tax credit—a major savings tool for solar projects.

Pair that with up to $7,800 in Energy Trust of Oregon incentives, and the math gets even better.

Eligibility for the 30% federal tax credit may vary. Consult a tax professional.

New in 2026: Enphase Batteries + Wattsmart Incentives

We’re proud to install Enphase Energy systems, known for their efficiency, safety, and real-time monitoring. And starting January 2026, we’ll offer Enphase’s newest battery storage options—smarter, more compact, and perfect for blackout protection.

Even better: Pacific Power’s Wattsmart Battery Storage Program is coming later this year. As an approved installer, National Solar will begin offering these custom battery installations and grid-connected options in early 2026—making backup power more affordable than ever.

Local Focus: Solarize Lake Oswego Campaign

We’re thrilled to be part of the Solarize Lake Oswego Campaign, a time-limited initiative backed by Energy Trust of Oregon. This community effort brings:

  • Free custom quotes
  • Vetted, high-rated installers like National Solar participating

As a 98% satisfaction-rated Energy Trust of Oregon Trade Ally, we’re proud to support Lake Oswego’s clean energy future.

But act fast—this campaign ends August 31, 2025.
