At Elemental Energy, some of our favorite projects start the same way, with a conversation between neighbors.

A friend mentions their electric bill has dropped. A family member shares how much they love their solar system. A coworker asks how the process worked. Before long, someone new is exploring solar for their own home.

Word of mouth has always been at the heart of our growth across Oregon and Washington since 2010. Our referral program is our way of saying thank you for being part of that.

Our Updated Referral Bonus for 2026

We’ve increased our referral bonus to $700 for new installations signed on or after April 1, 2026.

For every person you refer who goes solar with Elemental Energy, you’ll receive $700 as a thank you for making that connection. There’s no cap on how many referrals you can make and no limit on what you can earn.

Why Homeowners Continue to Refer Us

We’ve helped more than 3,500 homeowners across Oregon and Washington go solar, and we’ve earned over 130 five-star reviews in the process. Many of our customers choose to refer us because their experience has been worth sharing.

Solar continues to be a meaningful investment for homeowners in the Pacific Northwest. With the federal Solar Investment Tax Credit offering 30% back on system costs through 2032, Energy Trust of Oregon incentives for Pacific Power and PGE customers, and Oregon’s property tax protection for solar installations, the financial case remains strong.

When you refer someone, you’re helping them explore a path toward lower energy costs and greater energy independence.

How the Solar Referral Program Works

Referring someone is simple:

Share your experience
Tell friends, family, or neighbors what it's been like to go solar with Elemental Energy. If they want to do their own research first, point them to our blog for educational resources, our Solar Incentives page to explore available savings, and our Process page for what to expect from start to finish.

Make the connection
Have them mention your name when they reach out, or connect us directly so we can track your referral.

They go solar
Once their system is installed and complete, your referral qualifies.

You receive $700
We send your bonus as a thank you for helping grow our community of solar homeowners.

Become a Solar Ambassador

For homeowners who want to take things a step further, consider hosting a solar info session at your home. We’ll bring refreshments, answer questions, and walk through what the solar process looks like from start to finish.

It’s a relaxed, informative way to help others explore solar with confidence.

Even If You Can’t Go Solar, You Can Still Earn

You don’t need to be an Elemental Energy customer to participate. If you know someone exploring solar in Oregon or Washington and you connect them with our team, you’re eligible for the referral bonus.

A Community-Driven Way to Grow Clean Energy

Solar adoption in the Pacific Northwest grows one conversation at a time. Each referral helps another household gain energy independence, supports the regional energy transition, and contributes to a cleaner future for our communities.

If you have someone in mind who’s been curious about solar, we’d love to connect with them.
