Going solar in Corvallis
A south-facing solar system in Corvallis produces about 1,220 kWh per installed kW each year, according to NREL's PVWatts model. A home using about 11,000 kWh a year needs roughly 9 kW (21 panels) here, and a 7.5 kW system offsets about $1,556 of Pacific Power energy charges in its first year.
Corvallis homeowners on Pacific Power qualify for Energy Trust incentives and strong net metering value.
Gray winters get the attention, but the valley's long, dry summers produce the bulk of the year's output. Net metering carries those summer credits forward to cover the darker months.
Pacific Power is the main utility in Central Oregon (Bend, Redmond, Prineville, Madras), Southern Oregon, much of the coast and parts of the mid-valley. Its Wattsmart Battery program pays customers who let the utility draw on their home battery during peak events.
National Solar has completed 10+ projects in Corvallis, so our crews already know Benton County permitting and Pacific Power interconnection here.
