Damascus: solar, EV charging, and backup power in one plan
Nine in ten Damascus homes are owner-occupied, so projects here tend to stack: solar now, a battery and EV charger later. We plan them together.

How we help Damascus homeowners
Damascus is a community of about 11,000 people between Happy Valley and Boring, at roughly 712 feet on the Oregon Route 212 corridor. About 90 percent of homes are owner-occupied, which is why most of our work here is long-term upgrades rather than quick fixes.
The smart move is to plan the whole picture once. Solar, a home battery, and an EV charger all land on the same electrical panel, so we size it for where you are headed, not just the first project.
Start with the panel
The panel decides what you can add. If yours is full, old, or undersized, an electrical panel upgrade comes first and makes room for everything after it. We check it during the quote and tell you plainly whether it needs work. Bigger jobs, like a full service upgrade, are part of what our electricians do every week.
Solar sized for how you use power
About one in five Damascus residents lives in a rural part of the community, and roofs and lots vary a lot from street to street. We design around your usage, handle permits, and install with licensed electricians. See the Damascus solar guide and residential solar.
The federal homeowner credit ended at the end of 2025. We check Oregon and Energy Trust programs for you and tell you straight what applies.
Charging at home on a commuter schedule
The average Damascus commute is close to half an hour each way, the kind of daily driving where charging overnight in your own garage pays off. We check your panel capacity first and install a Level 2 charger where you park.
A community that fought to stay itself
Damascus incorporated in 2004, voted to disincorporate in 2016, saw that vote overturned in 2019, and had it reinstated by the Oregon Supreme Court in 2020.
We also install whole-house generators for outages, commercial solar, solar removal and reinstall for re-roofs, and repairs on solar other companies installed. Nearby: Boring, Clackamas, and Happy Valley. Request a free quote or call (971) 526-5545.
Questions we hear a lot
Should I do solar, a battery, and an EV charger at the same time?
Not necessarily, but plan them together. We size the panel for all three so a later project does not mean a second panel upgrade.
Do I need a bigger panel for an EV charger in Damascus?
Sometimes. We check your panel's capacity at the quote and only recommend an upgrade when the charger needs it.
Is Damascus a city?
Not anymore. After a court fight that ended in 2020, Damascus is an unincorporated community in Clackamas County.
