Residential solar, designed for your roof

No two roofs in Oregon get the same sun. We design every system around yours (the pitch, the shading, the way your household actually uses power), then install it in 1–2 days.

The problem

Every year you rent your power, you own nothing.

PGE and Pacific Power rates keep climbing, and you don't get a vote. Every year you rent all of your electricity from the utility, you pay more for the same kilowatt-hours and own nothing at the end of it. A system sized to your actual usage changes the math: a fixed cost on your own roof, and Oregon's 1:1 net metering crediting every kWh you send back.

US

American-made panels, panel-level electronics

Mission Solar panels paired with Chilicon Power microinverters. Power converts at each panel, so shade on one doesn't drag down the rest, and you can see how every panel performs.

One accountable crew

Design, permitting, utility paperwork, installation, and inspection are all handled by the same local team. Many homeowners also add battery storage for outage protection.

Net metering

Your meter runs both ways.

Oregon's net metering gives you a one-to-one credit for every kilowatt-hour your system sends to the grid. Make more than you use on a July afternoon, and the surplus banks as credit against your bill. Those summer credits offset the darker months, so the system works for you year-round.

Net metering is one of several programs that change the math on going solar. The full list is in our guide to Oregon solar incentives.

Equipment & warranties

What's on your roof, and who stands behind it.

The equipment

American-made Mission Solar panels paired with Chilicon Power microinverters, with power conversion and monitoring at every panel.

25-year manufacturer warranty

If a panel is defective, the manufacturer supplies a replacement and we install it under our warranty, at no cost to you. This coverage comes from the manufacturer, not from us.

30-year production guarantee

Panels lose output slowly over time. This guarantee sets that expected rate of decline and backs the quality of your system's production for 30 years.

10-year workmanship warranty

Our installation work (roof penetrations, wiring, racking) is covered by our own workmanship warranty for 10 years.

10-year leak guarantee

If a leak is caused by our installation, we're responsible for fixing it.

One-year inspection and monitoring

No scheduled maintenance is required. A year after install, we inspect the roof structure and electrical equipment, and we keep an eye on your production to make sure the system is producing as expected.

★★★★★

"We have less space on our roof than we'd ideally like for panels and we had a number of vents in locations where we would want panels. Of the solar companies we talked to Sunward was the most helpful in figuring out a plan to move some vents from the south to north facing roof to maximize the number of panels we could install."

Common questions

What homeowners ask us about solar.

It depends on how much electricity you use and what your roof gives us to work with. Pitch, shading, orientation, and age all change the design. That's why we start with a free site evaluation instead of a price sheet. You get a real number for your home, and Oregon solar incentives come off the top.
Energy Trust of Oregon cash incentives, one-to-one net metering, and the Oregon Solar for All program for income-qualified households. See our full guide to Oregon solar incentives.
The Mission Solar panels we install carry a 25-year manufacturer warranty and a 30-year production guarantee. They degrade slowly rather than just stopping, so they could last 40 or even 50 years, though our financial modeling assumes a 30-year useful life. An owned system is an asset that transfers with your house.
There's a good chance your roof will need replacing during the life of the system. When it does, we remove the panels, the roof gets replaced, and we come back and reinstall the system. You pay for the labor and any parts that can't be reused, since this work isn't covered by the warranty. More on solar service and repair.
Every install is backed by our 10-year leak guarantee and 10-year workmanship warranty. If a leak is caused by our installation, we're responsible for fixing it, and at the one-year site inspection we review the roof structure to make sure it's bone dry.
Winter production is lower, with shorter days and more cloud. Net metering is what makes the math work: your summer surplus banks one-to-one credits with the utility, and those credits offset your winter bills.

Paying for it

Three ways Oregon homeowners go solar.

However you pay, Oregon incentives come off the top. We walk you through the real math at your free evaluation.

$

Cash

The lowest lifetime cost and the fastest payback. You own the system outright, and every incentive lands with you.

%

Solar loan

Low or no money down with a fixed monthly payment that often lands near your old power bill. You still own the system and claim the credit.

•

Monthly plans

Financing that keeps upfront cost low and lets the system's savings carry the payment over time. Confirm options
