Do I need a licensed solar and energy efficiency pro in Oregon?
For most solar and energy efficiency work, yes. In Oregon the license comes from the Oregon Building Codes Division + CCB. Every listing here shows the license we checked.
Why don’t you show a price for each job?
Every job is different, so the pro you choose gives you their price. The pay figures above show what local solar installers earn, which helps you judge a quote.
