Oregon is home to a number of reputable contractors with experience installing solar electric and solar water heating systems. Building owners who wish to receive Energy Trust's incentives must have their system installed by an Energy Trust approved contractor. A list of these licensed solar contractors, called trade allies, is available below. These contractors have agreed to our program requirements and are therefore eligible to offer our incentives to their clients. Bear in mind that we cannot endorse or guarantee the performance of our trade allies. It is your responsibility to interview and select your contractor carefully.
Remember, price may not be as important as trust. You want to have confidence that the company will stand behind its installation for at least two years, and hopefully twenty. It is always wise to check with the Construction Contractors Board to review an installer’s history of complaints and ensure they are actively licensed. The Better Business Bureau is another good resource.
