Solar in the News

Solar Oregon is excited to join The Save Oregon Solar Coalition to help fight efforts to roll back net metering. The Save Oregon Solar coalition made news again this week with its announcement, this time in the national Clearing Up online news site. The new coalition is made up of environmental groups, low-income advocates, community-based organizations, affordable and first-time home buyer advocates, environmental justice groups and solar companies.

Sightline recently published a great article highlighting the urgent need for an upgraded electric grid in the Northwest U.S., particularly as the region transitions to renewable energy. The aging grid infrastructure is not equipped to handle increasing demand from clean energy sources, electrification of transportation, and extreme weather events. Investing in a more resilient grid is crucial to meet clean energy

 goals and ensure a stable future for the region's electricity needs.
