Marion County, Oregon Solar Panels

  • Absolutely! Homeowners and businesses in Salem can save significantly on electricity costs over time. Despite Oregon’s cloudy days, modern panels work efficiently year-round and can produce plenty of clean energy. With state and federal incentives, plus net metering through local utilities, solar is an investment that pays off in lower bills and higher property value.

  • Homeowners can take advantage of the 30% federal solar tax credit through the end of the year, Energy Trust of Oregon cash incentives, and net metering programs through PGE or Salem Electric. These savings help offset upfront costs and improve long-term ROI.

  • We install solar for agricultural buildings, barns, and on-site operations, but large-scale solar farms aren’t currently permitted in Marion County. We’ll help you find the right system to power your farm while protecting local farmland guidelines.

  • Permits are required, but Earthlight Tech handles all permitting and local approvals for you. We have experience working with Marion County municipalities and unincorporated zones, so your solar project stays on track.

  • Portland General Electric (PGE) and Salem Electric both offer net metering programs, allowing you to earn credits for excess solar energy sent back to the grid.

  • Most residential solar installations take 4-6 months from your free evaluation to final connection, depending on permitting and utility schedules. We manage every step to keep your project moving smoothly.

Earthlight Technologies is proud to offer full-service solar installations for homes and businesses across Salem, Silverton, Keizer, Woodburn, Mt. Angel, and surrounding communities. We handle local permitting for all Marion County municipalities and unincorporated areas, so you don’t have to. As a top Oregon solar installer, we partner with the Energy Trust of Oregon and local utility providers to deliver grid-tied, battery-ready, and hybrid systems designed for your property. From consultation and permitting to installation and post-install support, Earthlight Tech manages every step.

  • "I've got two installations done by Earthlight - both were absolutly excellent managed and executed! Nice and clean installation from work of the electrician to the installation on the roof and getting the systems commissioned. Super responsive when questions come up. inspection by the county went through right away for both systems. I am a super happy customer :) go solar!"

    Frank W.

  • "The entire Earthlight team did an amazing job on my solar installation, I received a terrific quote from a local vendor who used top of the line panels and inverters! One of the most frustrating parts of any improvement project is not knowing when the contractor/subcontractors will be on site and when will the work be completed this was not a problem with Earthlight! If I could give Jordan and Aaron more than five stars I would they completed the job on time and were very responsive. BTW my Sunpower system is working great and I received my first electric bill last week it was $10 and I banked over 1000 KWH for future use in just my first month, Thanks Earthlight!"
