Residential Solar

Own your power with home solar built for Oregon

Stop renting electricity from a utility that raises rates every year. We design and install custom solar systems sized to your home, your roof, and your usage.

Why solar

Turn a rising bill into a fixed, owned asset

Utility rates in Oregon keep climbing. Solar lets you lock in your energy cost today and protect yourself from decades of increases, all while adding value to your home.

  • Offset 80–100% of your annual electricity usage
  • Add resale value with a transferable warranty
  • No property tax increase on the added value in Oregon
  • Real-time monitoring of every panel in one app

Enphase Microinverters

The safer, smarter way to go solar

Every National Solar residential system uses Enphase microinverters — not because they're the only option, but because they're the best one. Here's why we've standardized on them for every install.

Built-in rapid shutdown

Enphase microinverters include rapid shutdown that instantly de-energizes your roof in an emergency — keeping first responders and utility workers safe.

Low-voltage, low risk

Unlike string inverters that run high-voltage DC across your roof, microinverters convert power at each panel, keeping dangerous voltage off your rooftop wiring.

Panel-level performance

Each panel reports its own output in real time through the Enphase App. Shade on one panel, a bird dropping, a failing module — you see it instantly.

25-year warranty

Enphase microinverters are backed by an industry-leading 25-year limited warranty — the longest standard coverage available for residential solar equipment.

No single point of failure

Each panel operates independently. If one microinverter has an issue your system keeps producing — there is no single failure that takes down your entire array.

Engineered for Oregon weather

Double-insulated polymer casing resists corrosion, moisture, and thermal cycling. NEMA6 / IP67-rated to handle Pacific Northwest winters without skipping a beat.

The grid keeps climbing. Solar locks it in.

Utility rates rise about 6% a year. A National Solar system fixes most of your cost now, so the gap — and your savings — grows every year you own it.
