About us

The Oregon Solar + Storage Industries Association is a trade association founded in 1981 to promote clean, renewable, solar technologies. OSSIA members include businesses, non-profit groups, and other solar industry stakeholders. We provide a unified and respected voice of the solar industry and focus exclusively on the solar value chain; from workforce development to permitting, advocacy, policy, and regulation for residential, commercial, community, and utility scale solar projects on the local, state and regional level. Our mission is to make solar energy a significant energy source and expand markets by strengthening the industry and developing a skilled and stable workforce. OSEIA supports a progressive legislative and regulatory structure that fosters the development of solar technologies as well as efficient and effective installation of residential, commercial, community and utility solar projects. Good policy that enables economic development and jobs growth: * Provides policy predictability that enables businesses to plan for future hiring and expansion decisions * Programs should be simple to administer (from both government agencies and customers), with accountability and transparency built into the process. * Programs should have built in metrics that measure progress and effectiveness. * If incentives are used, they must be sufficient and meaningful to affect the desired outcome. * Regulations designed to facilitate projects should result in safe and efficient installations that positively impact businesses, consumers, and jobs growth
