National Solar Now Offers Smart-E Lending Through Energy Trust of Oregon

Hey Oregon – from Bend to Redmond, Sisters to Prineville, and down to Klamath Falls, Eugene, and Roseburg areas, going solar just got even simpler and more affordable.
We're proud to announce that National Solar is now an approved Energy Trust of Oregon trade ally participating in the new Smart-E Lending program.
This means you can finance your solar panels, battery storage, or even an EV charger with a straightforward, no-surprises loan:
- No money down
- Low, fixed interest rates
- No hidden fees or dealer markups
- Fixed monthly payments that make sense
- Loans from $500 up to $50,000, with terms up to 20 years
- Can include enabling upgrades (like roof repairs) up to 25% of the loan
Smart-E is backed by Inclusive Prosperity Capital (a nonprofit) and real Oregon lenders. It's designed specifically for Energy Trust projects, so your cash incentives still apply directly to lower the amount you finance.
As a local, family-owned company right here in Bend with 17+ years installing thousands of systems across Oregon, we believe you should own your power, not rent it. Smart-E keeps ownership in your hands while making the upfront cost easier to handle, especially as we head into a post-federal tax credit world after 2025.
Pair this with Energy Trust incentives (still available for PGE and Pacific Power customers) and net metering, and many homeowners are seeing real ways to cut or eliminate their high utility bills for good.
