Thank You to Our Volunteers at the "Better Living Show"!

Volunteer Group PictureSolar Oregon had the opportunity to sponsor the Clean Energy Pavilion at this year's Better Living Show, which took place at the Portland Expo Center (March 26 - 28).  One of the volunteer responsibilities included assisting folks entering the Pavilion area.  Volunteers wearing bright yellow Solar Oregon aprons (see picture) answered basic questions and directed them to renewable energy resources.  It was a success thanks to our 50+ committed volunteers!

"Solarize" Communities

Solarize Communities Photo

Solarize projects are community efforts designed to make solar electricity and associated weatherization programs more affordable to homeowners. Cities and neighborhoods in Oregon with the support from community leaders and local municipalities are organizing these bulk-purchasing programs.

Based on our mission of education and outreach about solar, Solar Oregon is assisting these efforts through solar workshops and data management.

Featured Benefit for Solar Oregon Members!

1859 Oregon Magazine Logo

1859 Oregon's Magazine is a cross between a National Geographic and a Conde Nast Traveler, but done just for our lovely state. If you had only one volume to understand what Oregon is all about today, you'd get 1859. It covers recreation, culture, sustainability, people making a difference and a dab of Oregon politics.

Solar Oregon members can now log into a new Benefits page to receive a 50% discount off the $18.59 annual subscription price!
