    Oregon Solar + Storage Rebate Program (ODOE)

    Oregon rebates for residential solar electric systems and paired battery storage, issued to approved contractors who pass the savings to customers.

    Available Amount

    Homeowners: up to $5,000 for solar, up to $2,500 for paired energy storage; low-income service providers: up to $30,000 for solar, up to $15,000 for storage

    Start Date

    Not published

    End Date

    2029-01-02 (program sunset, per HB 3409)

    Eligibility

    Oregon residential customers (higher rates for low- and moderate-income homeowners); nonprofits, municipalities, and organizations serving low-income Oregonians

    Eligible Upgrades & Scope

    Residential

    Eligibility & requirements. The program serves Oregon residential customers and low-income service providers (organizations such as nonprofits and municipalities serving low-income Oregonians). Low- and moderate-income homeowners receive higher rebate rates: $1.80 per watt (DC) up to 60% of net cost or $5,000 for solar, and $300 per kWh up to 60% of net storage cost or $2,500. Other homeowners receive $0.20–$0.50 per watt depending on utility-incentive eligibility, up to 40% of net cost or $5,000. Storage-only additions to existing solar are accepted following 2025 rulemaking. A rebate reservation must be requested before construction or installation begins.

    What you get. Rebates are paid to the ODOE-approved contractor and passed through as upfront savings — the customer does not pay first and wait for a check. At least 25% of available rebate dollars are reserved each year for low- and moderate-income customers and low-income service providers.

    Deadlines. As of the June 2026 update, the program is not currently accepting rebate reservation applications: the $1.1 million reopened on June 15, 2026 was fully reserved. The program's legislative sunset is January 2, 2029, and future funding rounds depend on the legislature.

    How it works. Interested homeowners contact an ODOE-approved contractor, who requests a rebate reservation before work starts, installs the system, and certifies completion to convert the reservation into the rebate.

    Important notes. Do not start installation before the contractor secures a reservation — retroactive projects do not qualify. Because rounds sell out quickly, sign up for ODOE email updates to learn about future reopenings.

    Program details change — verify current rules on the official program page before applying.
