This Milwaukie, Oregon homeowner built a special structure to install solar panels, allowing him to produce his own power AND be safe during power outages. It’s not often we install solar panels on special-built structures such as this patio awning, but we were definitely excited to work on this project!
David’s home in Milwaukie, Oregon, had great sun exposure, but his roof didn’t have enough space for solar panels. The solution was to build an awning over his patio to support and install the solar panels. He had an architect create structural drawings and built the structure, and we came in and installed solar panels on the awning. The results were beautiful!
The solar panels on David’s patio awning will produce an est. 100% of his energy needs and prevent high energy bills from Portland General Electric (PGE). This will save him an est. $53,000 in the first 25 years by reducing his PGE energy bills! That’s not including skyrocketing energy price inflation from PGE and other Oregon utilities. The more utility prices rise, the more he 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 Milwaukie, Oregon area, which has been installing more and more solar. This has meant millions in energy savings for those families and businesses in Milwaukie, Oregon.

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