JOIN IN AS YOUR NEIGHBORS GO SOLAR, AUG. 15 – OCT. 31

Installing solar to generate clean energy saves a lot of money on annual electricity bills, and it’s one of the best things you can do to reduce your home’s carbon footprint and help the environment. Adding smart battery storage allows your solar installation to do even more by providing essential backup power during outages.

The Environmental Center, Energize Bend, Envision Bend and the City of Bend have teamed up with Energy Trust of Oregon and Solar Oregon for Solarize Deschutes to make it easy and more affordable for homeowners to go solar. Any homeowner with a Deschutes County address is eligible to participate. Just request a bid between Aug. 15 and Oct. 31; your solar installation can be completed any time through June 30, 2025.

If you rent and you’re a Pacific Power customer, you can participate in Solarize Deschutes too! Subscribe to a community solar project and get credits on your electric bill.
