NABCEP Certified PV Solar Systems:
Engineering, Installation, & Monitoring

"This spring we had Eric Andrews of EcoSolar, Inc. in Klamath Falls, Oregon, design and install a 2,800 watt solar electric system at our home in Curry County.

Curry County EcoSolar PV System

We have lived “off-grid” for thirty-five years, using a diesel generator and battery system.

Inverter

Having all of the clean, quiet, economical electricity that we need for our lifestyle has been a wonderful change for us.

PV Module

We found Eric to be a very knowledgeable professional who was able to guide us through the entire process. With EcoSolar, Inc. we knew that we were getting state-of-the-art information and products.

Solar Tree

Without reservation, we recommend Eric and EcoSolar, Inc. to anyone considering solar energy."

Tax credits

Tax credits reduce income tax liability on a dollar for dollar basis and are claimed on your state and federal income tax returns. The tax credits for solar are "non-deductible," meaning they can reduce your tax liability to zero, but not below.

Cash incentives

Cash incentives are applied upfront--either when you sign a contract for installation or after your project has been completed. Energy Trust solar electric incentives are available to Oregon customers of PGE and Pacific Power. Solar water heating incentives are available to Oregon customers who heat their water with electricity from PGE or Pacific Power or natural gas from NW Natural or Cascade Natural Gas. Incentive offers are subject to availability and may change.
