The "One Big Beautiful Bill" was signed into law on July 4th, and it impacts many climate-focused efforts. This bill would end the Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for residential solar and home battery storage at the end of this year.

If you were hoping to install solar and/or home battery storage, act now while this tax credit is still available. To access the tax credit, your solar and/or home battery storage would need to be completed by December 31, 2025.

To learn more about getting solar this year, join us at our next How to Go Solar + Storage Workshop on August 11th at 5:30pm. Use the link below to register.

Solar Oregon Members in the Wild

Solar Oregon Members help us work toward our mission to be a bold voice and trusted educational resource for all Oregonians. They share their unique perspectives from across the state, and some members get more involved by contributing to volunteer time and committee goals.

The best benefit to membership is building community and sharing your passion for caring for the environment in which we live. Check out two of our Board Members, Margaret and John who connected because of their support of renewable energy, enjoying a fly fishing excursion on a beautiful Oregon river.
