Rising utility rates are a frustration for homeowners everywhere, and one Salem, Oregon resident decided enough was enough. After seeing her power company raise rates by as much as 21% in recent years—adding up to a staggering 73% cumulative increase over just four years—she knew it was time to find a smarter, more sustainable solution for her family’s energy needs.
That’s where Green Ridge Solar and Mission Solar Energy came in. Green Ridge Solar, a trusted Oregon-based installer known for thoughtful system design and customer care, created a custom solar solution to help this homeowner take back control of her energy costs for good.
The newly installed 10.6kW system uses 20 Mission Solar 410W black-on-black modules—chosen for their sleek appearance, high efficiency, and proven durability. These American-manufactured panels will generate an estimated 100% of her family’s annual energy needs, significantly reducing or even eliminating her dependence on the local power company.
To add another layer of protection and peace of mind, the homeowner paired her solar system with a SolarEdge battery backup. Now, not only will her family enjoy steady savings month after month, but they’ll also have stored solar power ready to keep essential appliances running during unexpected power outages—an increasingly important benefit during Oregon’s stormy winters.
This project is a perfect example of how the right combination of high-quality solar equipment, expert installation, and smart energy storage can empower homeowners to fight back against unpredictable energy costs while adding resilience to their homes.
At Mission Solar Energy, we’re proud to support local installers like Green Ridge Solar who help families make sustainable, long-lasting investments that pay off year after year. Here’s to energy freedom—one rooftop at a time!
