This free workshop covers the basics of why solar is a smart choice for Oregon homeowners. We will show you:
How well solar works in Oregon's climate

How to choose a contractor
Residential tax credits and incentives often pay for up to 80% of the cost! Participants will come away with basic knowledge about solar energy systems and will be prepared to do more focused research on their own and start working with a contractor.
