Solar panels and battery backup were just what this Echo, Oregon family needed. With high energy bills from Umatilla Electric Cooperative, they needed to find a way to slash their electricity costs. They also wanted to be safe during power outages. That’s why they installed solar panels and battery backup.
By covering an est. 100% of the couple’s energy needs, solar panels will save them an est. $75,000 in the first 25 years by reducing their Umatilla Electric Cooperative (UEC) energy bill! That’s not including skyrocketing energy price inflation from Umatilla Electric Cooperative and other Oregon utilities. The more utility prices rise, the more they will save!
If utility prices keep rising at they rate they have been recently, those solar savings can compound even higher! This is especially true in the Echo, Hermiston, and Umatilla, Oregon area, which has been installing more and more solar. This has meant millions in energy savings for those families and businesses in the areas around Umatilla and Hermiston, Oregon.

The homeowners also wanted to be safe in power outages, which have become more and more common in recent years. We installed two SolarEdge Home Batteries that will store excess solar energy and power their home during blackouts. That way, the family will have the ability to run heating, cooling, lights, appliances, and/or medical equipment even when the power grid is down.
