Oregon solar calculator

Live production from NLR (formerly NREL) PVWatts V8. Oregon has full 1:1 retail net metering (OAR 860-039) on PGE (modeled here) and Pacific Power for systems up to 25 kW. Energy Trust of Oregon pays a flat $2,500 upfront rebate for PGE/Pacific customers — applied directly by Trade Ally contractors as a discount on your install invoice (NOT a tax credit). PUD customers can apply for an ODOE rebate up to $5,000 instead. Oregon has NO state income tax credit (the old RETC expired in 2017) and NO statewide sales tax at all — one of only five US states without one. Property tax exempt on added value, automatic. Important NEM detail: any annual surplus after the March reset is DONATED to a low-income fund (not paid out) — don't oversize. Common confusion: avoided cost (~4-5¢) applies only to that March surplus, not regular monthly exports. EWEB (Eugene) uses a lower export rate (~$0.0399) — verify if not on PGE/Pacific. Defaults: south-facing roof mount, 20° tilt, 14% losses.
