Can Solar Power a House

Yes, a properly sized solar system can fully power your home—even during cloudy Oregon days. Solar panels work year-round in Portland’s climate, and adding a battery allows you to store excess energy for use at night or during outages.

Every home’s energy use is different. That’s why your system should be custom-built based on your electric usage, roof space, and whether you want backup power. Most households that go solar with battery storage see little to no utility bill once installed.

For many in Oregon, solar panels are part of a broader home efficiency upgrade. Insulation, roof improvements, and storage tech work together to make the home more comfortable, lower bills, and reduce reliance on the grid—without changing your lifestyle.
