Forest Grove Light & Power - Residential Solar Rebate Program

Forest Grove Light & Power offers rebates up to $1,500 for homes with electric heat or up to $1,000 for other heating sources when you install a solar PV system of 25 kW or smaller. Your system will be connected with a net meter that credits you at the normal billing rate for any excess power you send back to the grid. Contact Eddie Littlefield, Power Services Manager, at 503-992-3296 or via email to apply and learn the specific rebate amount for your home.

This program accepts solar PV systems up to 25 kW and requires Level I Small Generator Interconnection compliance with Forest Grove's Net Metering Policy and current National Electric Code standards. The utility credits exported power at normal billing rates, and you should coordinate with Eddie Littlefield (Power Services Manager) early in the project to obtain required forms and confirm system eligibility before installation begins.

Forest Grove Light & Power administers a rebate program offering $1,500 for electrically heated homes and $1,000 for other heating sources, limited to systems ≤25 kW. The program uses net metering with bi-directional meters that track delivered versus received power, billing customers only on net consumption. Interconnection requires NEC compliance (Articles 690 and 705) and IEEE 929 standards; the utility verifies that systems do not interfere with distribution operations before approval.
