Client Testimonials

  • "In 2010 we decided to step into the renewable energy world and have solar panels placed on the roof of our house. We have never regretted this decision. Our electricity bills have been lowered significantly and more importantly we are proud to have lowered our carbon footprint. Initially we worked with Scott and Tod, and now Scott, Dan, and their crew. Over the years, there have been infrequent maintenance issues, and they have responded quickly and professionally. It is without hesitation that we highly recommend Common Energy."

  • "A Big Thank You to Common Energy for the 32 solar panel system installation at our Mount Hood Parkdale, Oregon, home! Scott Sorensen, designer and contractor, was a delight to work with. He handled literally everything from design through documents, from start to finish. Scott always delivered as promised, and we are now enjoying a functional 12.8 kW system that is even generating power in the rain! I recommend Scott and Common Energy if you want a quality design and installation of a solar panel electrical generating system. FIrst Class!"

  • "Scott and his Common Energy team have now installed solar on two homes for me. The first home was one I was in the process of building and was the General Contractor.. I was busy managing the construction, doing parts of it myself, and making all the decisions. It was wonderful to be able to rely on Common Energy, with minimal inputs by me, to get the solar installed. Common Energy also coordinates all the state funding and was able to get more financial support than we’d initially planned for. I’d recommend them to anyone who doesn’t have a lot of extra time to coordinate and check-up on contractors/sub-contractors and also wants an excellent final product."
