Why Tigard is one of the easier places to permit solar
The Tigard Building Division issues building, electrical, and solar trade permits itself, so there is one city office instead of two. It takes applications through the Community Development Hub, and says a complete residential solar PV application is typically reviewed within 3 business days. The city also holds a SolSmart Silver designation and publishes a residential solar permitting checklist.
Three business days is the city's typical review time for a complete application, not a promise we can make for your job.
PGE and Tigard solar
The city's solar page names PGE as Tigard's electric utility. PGE accepts 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.
Tigard roofs, HOAs, and trees
The median Tigard home was built in 1988, and 62 percent of occupied homes are owner-occupied (Census ACS 2020-2024). The city solar page also carries a summary of HOA solar rights, which is useful if your neighborhood has an association. The city runs tree programs and has an Urban Forestry Manual, so we plan the array around the trees you keep and the ones you are allowed to trim.
