Join your neighbors in Solarizing Pendleton!

A complete solar system installed at 80 percent off the sticker price? Yes, it’s true. For a limited time, The City of Pendleton has partnered with local organizations and businesses, the Energy Trust of Oregon, LiveLight Energy, SolarWorld and Solar Oregon to provide high quality complete solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. This lowers the price of PV system for area residents, businesses and organizations within a 60-mile radius of Pendleton to around $1,230.
