Powering Your System Safely

EV chargers require proper electrical infrastructure to operate safely and efficiently, and not every home is immediately ready for installation. We evaluate your system to ensure it has adequate capacity, the right panel configuration, and properly designed circuits to support reliable charging.

Reviews

Trusted by Homeowners

Homeowners across the Portland Metro area trust Energy Solutions for reliable, high-quality solar and electrical work. Our reputation is built on clear communication, attention to detail, and consistent results.

Terrific communication, smart crews, and a finished system that has delivered exactly what we wanted (energy independence, and stable power delivery when the rest of the neighborhood is in an outage) since the moment it went live.

Scott D.

The whole process was fairly quickly I think it has only been 5 weeks from signing the paper work to turning on the system. Grant was very quick in getting all the paper work and inspection done. Highly recommended, their installer was very friendly and did a very clean/sleek job took 2 days to complete it.

Raymond H.

We couldn't be happier with our Solar installation by Energy Solutions. From the first contact with Zach to the finish it went well. Zach was very thorough in his initial evaluation giving us confidence in the quote for the project.

Jeffrey F.

Wow, what a great experience! Team members are incredibly responsive, and they follow-through as promised. Energy Solutions removed a previous solar installation, and because they were so thoughtful and communicative, I ultimately had another 6KW installed.

Deb M.

They did a very thorough and professional initial visit, followed up with great communication throughout the process including explaining the quote, negotiating the contract, installation of the solar system and a new electrical panel, and scheduling inspections.
