One Contractor for Everything: How Energy Solutions LLC Handles Solar, Electrical, and More

When most people think about going solar, they picture one company for the panels and another for the electrical work. When they buy an EV, they scramble to find a charger installer. When the power goes out, they call someone new for a generator. And when their panel needs upgrading, that’s yet another contractor to vet, schedule, and trust with their home.

At Energy Solutions, we think there’s a better way.

We’re licensed electrical contractors based in Oregon City, serving homeowners across Oregon and SW Washington. And while we’re known for our solar installations, the truth is we handle everything — from the panels on your roof to the wiring in your walls, the charger in your garage, and the backup power keeping your family safe when the grid goes down.

One call. One team. One contractor who knows your home from the ground up.

“We’re not a solar company that dabbles in electrical work. We’re licensed electricians who specialize in complete energy solutions — and there’s a meaningful difference.”

We’re Electricians First

Energy Solutions was built on 25 years of solar and electrical expertise. We are a licensed electrical contractor serving Oregon and Southwestern Washington— diagnosing problems, upgrading panels, and making sure homes were safe, efficient, and up to code.

That electrical foundation is what makes everything else we do stronger. When we install a solar system, we’re not just mounting hardware on your roof — we’re integrating it into your home’s electrical system with the precision and care of a licensed electrician. When we install a battery backup system, we know exactly how it needs to interact with your panel, your grid connection, and your loads.

That expertise is in the DNA of every project we take on, no matter how big or small.

Everything We Do, Under One Roof

Here’s a look at the full range of services we bring to Oregon and SW Washington homeowners:

Solar Installation

We design and install custom solar systems sized to your home’s actual energy usage — not a one-size-fits-all package. We work with multiple panel types so we can recommend what’s truly right for your roof, your goals, and your budget. From permitting to final inspection, we handle every step in-house.

Battery Backup

Solar is great — but solar plus battery storage is a whole different level of energy independence. A battery backup system stores the energy your panels produce so you can use it at night, during peak rate hours, or when the grid goes down. We design and install battery systems that integrate seamlessly with your solar array and your home’s electrical panel.

Multiple Enphase battery storage units are mounted on a wall in a garage or storage area.

Electrical Panel Upgrades

Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s power system. Older panels often can’t support modern energy demands — especially when you’re adding solar, a battery system, or an EV charger. We assess your current panel, handle all necessary upgrades, and make sure your home is ready for whatever comes next. No guesswork, no subcontractors — just our licensed team doing the work right.

EV Charger Installation

If you own an electric vehicle — or you’re planning to — a Level 2 home charger is one of the best investments you can make. We install EV charging stations that are properly wired, code-compliant, and ready to handle years of daily use. And because we’re electricians, we can also handle any panel upgrades needed to support the charger at the same time.

Backup Generators

Oregon winters can be unpredictable. Windstorms, ice, and wildfires have all knocked out power for days at a time across our service area. A whole-home backup generator gives your family peace of mind — automatic power restoration the moment the grid goes down. We install, wire, and commission generator systems that work quietly in the background until you need them most.

General Electrical Services

Beyond energy systems, we’re available for the full range of residential electrical work — troubleshooting, repairs, outlet and fixture installations, code compliance work, and more. If it involves your home’s electrical system, we can handle it. Many of our customers come to us for a solar quote and realize they can also take care of that long-overdue electrical work at the same time.

Solar Panel Remove & Reinstall

Need a roof replacement? Selling your home and want the panels repositioned? We handle professional solar panel removal and reinstallation — carefully, correctly, and with the same attention to detail as a brand-new install. Because we installed many of these systems ourselves, we know exactly how to take them down and put them back without damage.

Why One Contractor Makes All the Difference

There are real, practical advantages to working with a single contractor across all your home energy and electrical needs. Here’s what our customers experience:

  • No coordination headaches. When your solar installer and your electrician are the same company, nothing gets lost in translation. No finger-pointing, no scheduling conflicts, no gaps in accountability.
  • Systems that work together. We design your solar, battery, panel, and EV charger as an integrated system — not separate products bolted together. The result is a home that runs more efficiently and reliably.
  • One point of contact. One phone number. One team that knows your home. Whether you have a question six months after install or need a warranty service call, you know exactly who to call.
  • Licensed expertise on every service. Every service we offer is performed by our own licensed electrical team — not subcontractors. Your home gets the same standard of quality and care whether we’re installing a solar array or replacing a circuit breaker.
  • Better long-term value. Customers who work with us across multiple services often find that bundling projects saves time, reduces mobilization costs, and produces a better overall outcome than managing multiple contractors separately.

From circuit repairs to complete solar systems — we handle it all. That’s not a marketing line; it’s how we’ve operate.

Serving Oregon & SW Washington

Energy Solutions is locally owned and operated, with deep roots in the Oregon City area and a service area that extends across the Portland Metro and into SW Washington. We’re not a national chain or a door-to-door solar sales outfit — we’re your neighbors, and we treat your home like one.

Our team is licensed, bonded, and insured. We’re NABCEP certified and proud to have been recognized as a 2024 Energy Sage Installer of the Year. Every project we take on is backed by 25 years of combined electrical expertise and a genuine commitment to quality craftsmanship.

When you call Energy Solutions, you’re not getting a salesperson. You’re getting a knowledgeable team member who can look at your home holistically — your energy goals, your electrical infrastructure, your budget — and help you make smart decisions for the long run.
