Solar Beaverton



Check out this great article from KATU about Solar Beaverton - Submitted by KATU Communities Staff


Solar Beaverton is a community solar program that helps Beaverton residents learn about renewable energy. Residents that sign up for the program can take advantage of significant financial incentives. Installing a solar system as part of a community program brings lower prices and increases energy independence for the community. After installation, a household's electric bill will reflect the savings from the solar energy that has been generated and used. Some households may even get credit each month for unused solar energy that flows back to the power grid.
Solar Beaverton will also be at other NAC meetings in April to provide an overview of the program. All meetings begin at 7 p.m.:
  • West Beaverton - April 14, Seventh Day Adventist Church, 14645 SW Davis Road 
  • South Beaverton - April 21, Southridge High School, Community Room, 9625 SW 125th Avenue 
  • Vose - April 21, Beaverton Community Center, Community Room, 12350 SW 5th Street
