Why Commercial Solar Power?
Solar energy can create real value for your business.
Control Overhead
Solar panels at your business lock in your future electricity costs. Installing solar panels to generates a specific quantity of electricity over time for a one-time, fixed cost enables your business to estimate how much it will be paying for power for up to 25 years. Commercial electric utility rates in Portland General Electric and Pacific Power territory in Oregon have increased an average of 16% in 2024 alone, and market pressures indicate this pace will continue into the future. Who knows what they’ll be spending on power in 25 years? You really could.
Embrace Sustainability
Climate Change is a potential liability for most businesses. Particularly in Oregon, a company's response to climate change and its sustainability initiatives can be driving factors for people when deciding where they’ll work, where they’ll shop, and what companies they’ll choose to support. There is no better way to demonstrate your commitment to sustainability than reducing your carbon footprint through solar power or providing your employees and customers an environment where they can power their electric vehicles with solar energy.
Make Your Business Resilient
How long could your business operate without power, or an internet connection, or site security? Does your business spend more for power at certain times of the day? Do you pay more per KW for peak power usage? Most businesses understand how much they pay for power, but not necessarily why they pay it. There are many reasons why having a solar powered energy storage system on your premises could benefit your business. Our team has designed and installed solar power and battery-based resiliency systems for hospitals, schools, fire departments, municipal water pumping stations, communications networks, and emergency shelters in Portland, across Oregon, and beyond. We bring our extensive expertise to every project to ensure that when the grid goes down, your lights stay on.
“I was referred to Imagine Energy when the inverters of my solar system failed. Their response was prompt, their expertise obvious, their diagnosis accurate, and their counsel about how to repair it was spot on. They have since repaired my system and I am very pleased with everything they did to get that done. I recommend their services without hesitation for repair, and fully expect they would be equally helpful for new installations.”

Rooftop Solar
We have the knowledge and experience to design and install a photovoltaic system that takes advantage of the underutilized space on your buildings roof to generate the right amount of energy your facility needs. We understand that your commercial property is an investment, and we engineer our solar energy systems with an eye towards reducing your operations and maintenance costs and maximizing your solar electric generation.
Ground-Mounted Solar
For over 20 years, our team has been involved in designing, engineering, and constructing everything from small systems designed to offset seasonal loads from agricultural water pumping, to utility-scale community solar projects, to covering 300 acres in the middle of Central Oregon with over 160,000 ground-mounted solar panels. Imagine Energy is one of the best solar installers in Oregon, and we have the deep experience to ensure your ground mount solar project is successful.
Electric Vehicle Charging
Chances are, either you or someone you work with already has an electric vehicle (EV) and loves it. The wide range of new EV’s coming to market demonstrate EV technology is advancing rapidly, and so has its adoption. However, your EV charging stations make them go! Whether you are seeking to appeal to tenants, provide for your existing team, attract new talent, or power your own fleet, we’ve installed dozens of commercial EV chargers over the years and will capably design and install EV charging at any scale you require. EV charging stations, especially coupled with solar carports, are a great way to demonstrate to your customers and employees that you care about their work environment, and their natural one too.
