City permit, county electrical permit
Newberg is straightforward about one thing: the city does not have an electrical program. Building permits go through the Community Development Building Division, submitted online with OpenGov, and the city lists an Engineering Prescriptive Solar Checklist. For the electrical permit the city sends you to Yamhill County, which runs it through Oregon ePermitting. We file both sides.
The city says plan review is typically 4 to 6 weeks in general, not specifically for solar, so we plan the schedule with some patience built in.
PGE in Newberg
The city Public Works page directs outage reports to PGE, and PGE's service territory map shows Newberg. PGE takes solar interconnection applications online through PowerClerk. Energy Trust of Oregon solar incentives are open to Oregon customers of PGE or Pacific Power, and we look at them when we write your quote.
Cloudy winters, dry summers
Newberg has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate with dry summers and cloudy winters, which is why we size a system on a full year of production, not on a sunny July. The median home was built in 1991, and 59 percent of occupied homes are owner-occupied (Census ACS 2020-2024). Springbrook is part of Newberg too, and the city updated its street tree list in 2025, so check it before you plan any new planting near a south-facing roof.

Questions we hear a lot
Who issues the electrical permit for solar in Newberg?
Yamhill County does. Newberg has no electrical program of its own. The city handles the building permit.
Is Newberg too cloudy for solar?
Winters are cloudy and summers are dry. We size the system on annual production, and Oregon net metering credits excess generation on your bill. Ask us to walk through your roof.
Is my Newberg home with PGE?
The city Public Works page points outage reports to PGE. Your power bill confirms it.
