Lake Oswego Solar Panels & Installation

A highly desirable city for renewable energy. With rising utility costs and strong incentives, now is the time to secure your energy independence.

Why Solar in Lake Oswego?

Lake Oswego residents increasingly recognize solar energy as a smart investment. The city benefits from reliable solar production in summer months, supportive utility policies, and a growing interest in sustainability.

2026 Production Data

A typical Lake Oswego home using 9,000–11,000 kWh/year needs about a 9 kW system (~20 panels). South, West, and East-facing roofs all perform well, producing ~10,000 kWh/year.

Reliable Sun

Excellent summer production.

Home Value

Increase property value & appeal.

Energy Freedom

Protect against rising rates.

Sustainable

No greenhouse gas emissions.

How Much Does It Cost?

Lake Oswego solar costs are competitive, ranging from $2.95 to $3.20 per watt.

System Purchase

Total Estimated Lifetime Savings

$50k - $100k

PPA / Financing

Ideal if you want to switch to renewables without the upfront cash outlay.

Disclaimer: Savings vary by home. Estimates assume a 9kW system offsetting 100% of a 10,000 kWh annual load in Portland. Actual results depend on weather patterns, roof orientation, shading, and utility rates.

Reduce your upfront costs with these local and federal programs.

Energy Trust of Oregon

PGE or Pacific Power customers may qualify for a rebate of up to $2,500, automatically applied to the purchase price.

Special Programs

We also help with Solar Within Reach (income-qualified), ODOE battery rebates, and USDA REAP grants.

Oregon Net Metering

Send excess power to the grid and earn credits to offset future bills. One of the most important incentives for long-term savings.

Power Northwest was quick to respond, quote, schedule, and complete the work. I was in a tough spot with my ~5-year-old 3.78 kW Tesla system (12 panels + 1 Powerwall) and needed a roof replacement. Tesla quoted about 3 months for panel removal and another 3 months after the roof was finished — potentially 6+ months total — and it would have required two separate contracts (one for removal, one for reinstall). Power Northwest handled everything under a single contract for $7,400 (half at signing, half at completion) and finished the job in about 2 weeks. My biggest concern was whether a third-party installer would meet Tesla’s standards and void the warranty. After checking with Tesla, they confirmed the warranty stays intact as long as the work follows their specifications. Power Northwest has Tesla certification, the right tools, and a capable team, and they did the work correctly. Great experience — much faster and simpler than going through Tesla.

Great experience with Power Northwest. I needed some minor electrical work done for a home sale, and the whole process was smooth and responsive. Ethan was easy to coordinate with and got everything scheduled around my timeline. Curtis did the onsite work and did a great job. Timely, solid, and exactly what was quoted. Highly recommend this team!

Great team that did a quick clean install. Project management also very willing to work with me despite not being in their typical jurisdiction / area for installs. Sean always kept me up to date. Everyone involved was very knowledgeable and just great people through and through. I love my new solar system, thank you!

Owner's reply
Cyd, thank you for choosing to work with Power Northwest and for the great review! We love working with homeowners on both sides of the Columbia that are excited about making the switch to solar. Happy to hear you had such a good experience with Sean and the rest of the team!

Power Northwest did a great job on our solar installation, from the initial proposal through the permitting process and the actual installation. It took about six weeks from the first contact to generating electricity. The whole team is quick, thorough, communicative, and professional. We were particularly impressed when a minor problem came up after all the work was done and we'd paid the final invoice. They responded immediately and sent out their electricians to fix the issue (the root cause of which was our deficient home Wifi). We're very happy we picked Power Northwest!

Owner's reply
Neil, thank you so much for the incredible review and for trusting Power Northwest with your solar project! We take pride in delivering the exact experience you described so it's great to hear that everything was completed to your satisfaction. Should you ever need anything in the future, don't hesitate to reach out! In the meantime, enjoy the summer sunshine and all the solar production that comes with it!

I had solar panels installed in late June 2026. The salesperson was great, Jordan. Anytime I had a question he was always there to answer it very quickly no delay. Also I was really impressed by the installation crew. They knew what they were doing did their job and we’re very receptive to showing me some of the things that I needed to know, However, the office and others were a little bit less responsive. There was a problem that I had an email about from my electric company and made one of the crew members aware of, and he called his boss who never returned his phone. Call Sofaa for two hours, nothing was started because we weren’t sure how to go about what we needed to do. Finally, they gave the decision that either the equipment goes back or it stays so they did start the installation at that point and we’re very respectful and *NSYNC with each other. I am waiting for my inspection in another week because I’ll be on vacation so I don’t have use of the system yet but I’m looking forward to having it work well and efficiently

Owner's reply
Hi Lynn, Power Northwest here! We're happy to hear that you had a good experience with your solar installation but it may not have been through us. We do not have a sales person named Jordon at our company and we can't find your name in our database. If you could share your address (you can email it to [email protected]) we can confirm. Thank you!

The crew has been wonderful to work with, from the initial bid to the final wrap-up. Most noticeably, the company worked with me on the incentives. We got in under the wire! Ryan and Sean stand out, but the three men who set up the rack and installed the panels and the two men who wired the whole thing to the grid were honest, hard-working and in every way just as professional. The whole crew exuded trustworthiness. Bravo to PNW.

Owner's reply
Thank you for the wonderful review and for working with us here at Power Northwest for your solar installation. We will make sure your kind words get back to the crew that worked at your house!

Power NW (PNW) took over the installation of my solar panel system when the original company went out of business abruptly. Ethan has done an incredible job of coordinating the necessary work and his communication and follow ups would be difficult to be top. The electrical team of Chris and Han were out today to trouble shoot an issue, not of PNW’s making, and they were stellar, just as they were the first time they were out to make changes dictated by PGE. They were consummate professionals: excellent communication, patient and thorough in their troubleshooting and incredible about explaining the system and explaining the what and why of their efforts. This is an excellent company and I could not recommend PNW any more highly.

Owner's reply
Roy, thank you for the kind words and for letting us jump in to help complete your solar installation! It's our mission to help transition our community to renewable energy so whenever we have a chance to make sure someone goes solar, we're going to be there! Great to hear you had such a good experience with Ethan, Chris, Han and the rest of the crew. We'll make sure that feedback reaches them!

We had kind of a unique situation in that the company that installed our solar filed for bankruptcy right after we were working with them to fix our leaky roof caused by a faulty installation that Purelight Power did. We felt like we were stranded on a desert island. Our finance company contracted with Power Northwest to help fix things. Ethan was the first person we heard from and coordinated the inspection and repair. Ethan is great! He always kept us in the loop. Nate came out to see our roof to see what was wrong. We felt he was very knowledgeable and honest. Then Nate and Steven were the ones that came out to do the repairs. They went above and beyond. Nate found that one of our panels was cracked. After less than a year old that shouldn't be. It probably cracked due to being tightened down too much. We had no idea. He wouldn't have needed to tell us. That shows caring about the customer and integrity, like it's his own home. We feel like they were an answer to prayer. Thank you Power Northwest! Bill and Joan Krieger

Owner's reply

Lake Oswego Solar FAQs

The installation of solar panels on your roof will not cause leaks, as long as you hire a qualified solar installer (like our experts here at Power Northwest) to take care of the installation process. We will install flashing around the bolts in your roof to prevent any leaks and take care to avoid any structural damage. There are also installation options that do not require any holes to be drilled at all!

It certainly can! On average, homebuyers across the United States have been shown to pay 6.9% more for a home with a solar array than for a comparable home without solar. Plus, a solar system may help your home sell faster as well.

This depends on how much energy your household or business consumes, how much roof/mounting space you have available, and the efficiency of the panels that you choose. An average home solar energy system is about 5 kW, which will include between 15 and 20 solar panels. Business solar energy systems vary dramatically in size, depending on the energy needs.
