Renewable Energy is Coming to 82nd Ave

In 2018, our communities fought for the Portland Clean Energy Fund for a greener Portland. Now, APANO is bringing those projects to life on 82nd Ave — and we need your help!

what if you could add solar panels to your home at no upfront costs to you?

Residential Solar

We are seeking 15 homeowners to help bring this vision to life, so you can use energy from the sun to power your everyday activities. APANO’s grant will cover the costs of roof preparation, equipment, and installation of a 9-panel rooftop solar system on your home — and this entire system will be yours!
