Why Solar?

Want a win for the environment AND for your property? Solar panels reduce energy bills, increase a home’s value, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Each kilowatt-hour (kWh) of solar that is generated will substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions like CO2, as well as other dangerous pollutants such as sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. Solar also reduces water consumption and withdrawal.

From residential and commercial solar to major solar farms, solar energy is in extremely high demand — and that demand is increasing rapidly. In fact, solar energy accounted for more than 64 percent of all new energy added to the worldwide electrical grid in 2024.

Solar cells have been used on rooftops since 1893, but this technology has become exceedingly popular in recent years. The reason isn’t entirely political; it isn’t only because of mandates or requirements from governments. These days, solar energy is also installed because of increasing costs related to primary energy production methods, as well as the reduction in costs and increased recyclability processes for modules (solar panels) and components.

As technology improves, modules become more efficient — and are able to convert more of the sun’s rays into electricity. This means fewer materials are used to generate more energy. Due to recent breakthroughs in module efficiency and stringing methods, solar has become so affordable that most self-generating homes or businesses can save double or even triple the amount of money they’ll spend on installing their system vs. renting electricity from the profit-hungry utility monopolies over the next 20 years.

We initially contacted E2Solar as they were a local company. I was impressed with their quick response. Mason came out to talk to us, took measurements and spent time explaining all aspects of the process as well as providing an estimate and explaining all possible state programs that we could take advantage of. The people who came to do the work were very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. The entire installation process was completed in less than 3 days. The county inspector who came out was extremely complimentary about the completed work. We had some questions after the fact and Rob came out and answered all our questions. I would not hesitate to recommend e2solar. .

I talked to a couple of solar companies and got recommendations from friends before choosing E2. I really wanted to help the environment as well as reduce expenses with the expected increase in electricity prices. So far, I am very pleased with the responsiveness and professionalism of the company. Waiting for my first electricity bill!

E2 did great! I thought pricing was the best around and I was happy about the outcome. This was the 2nd time I utilized them in the last 20 years.

Got bids from 4 company's E2 Solar did the most thorough evaluation. While most of the evaluations were similar, E2 did actual measurements on-site. The bid was the least costly, probably because they are a Bend company and had in-town installers. They did a careful job with the installation. System is up and running and all appears to be going well.

Everything done as promised. I'm very satisfied. When one breaker kept tripping the E2 electrician returned to the site the next day and replaced it. The entire team was very courteous.

I asked for a quote for a Solar System for my home in the Central Electric District of Oregon. Mia reviewed my usage and informed me that since CE does not carry forward any additional usage from year to year with the cutoff in December, a system would not be cost effective for me. I appreciate when a company is honest and turns down a sale.
