Going solar in Grants Pass
A south-facing solar system in Grants Pass produces about 1,311 kWh per installed kW each year, according to NREL's PVWatts model. A home using about 11,000 kWh a year needs roughly 8.4 kW (20 panels) here, and a 7.5 kW system offsets about $1,672 of Pacific Power energy charges in its first year.
Grants Pass enjoys abundant sun, and Pacific Power customers here qualify for Energy Trust incentives.
Southern Oregon is among the sunniest parts of the state. Summer heat and wildfire smoke can trim output for short stretches, and Public Safety Power Shutoffs make battery backup worth a look here.
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 5 projects in Grants Pass, so our crews already know Josephine County permitting and Pacific Power interconnection here.
