Solar energy grows in Oregon despite rainy climate
In Oregon solar energy has become a multimillion dollar industry aided by tax credits and environmental concerns. The state offers credits up to 1000 for homes supplying at least 10 percent of energy needs and faces laws to protect solar access through right to light ordinances and building permit certifications. Oregon's mild climate, sun penetration on cloudy days, and growing adoption by homes, motels, and businesses drive a thriving solar sector despite frequent rain.
