How does solar work if it rains all the time in Oregon?

Oregon does have a reputation for rain, but that doesn't mean solar energy can't thrive here. Solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy days, though they may produce slightly less. Oregon actually gets a good amount of sunshine, especially in summer. Modern solar technology efficiently captures diffuse sunlight, making solar a viable option for Oregonians despite the weather.

How will I save money by installing solar panels?

Generating your own electricity can significantly reduce or eliminate monthly electric bills. Many utilities and governments offer tax credits and rebates to offset installation costs, and solar panels add long-term value to your home. Together, these factors deliver savings and sustainability.
