Going solar in Eugene
A south-facing solar system in Eugene produces about 1,176 kWh per installed kW each year, according to NREL's PVWatts model. A home using about 11,000 kWh a year needs roughly 9.4 kW (22 panels) here, and a 7.5 kW system offsets about $954 of EWEB energy charges in its first year.
Eugene homeowners go solar to own their power and escape rising rates. EWEB customers have their own incentive landscape, and we map out exactly what applies to your address.
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.
EWEB is Eugene's city-owned utility. Its energy charge is about half of PGE's, but a high fixed basic charge means solar offsets a smaller share of the bill.
National Solar has completed 80+ projects in Eugene, so our crews already know Lane County permitting and EWEB interconnection here.
