Purelight Power
Purelight Power was founded in 2019 and is based in Oregon. The solar installation company designs and installs solar power systems for sustainable energy in Idaho, Iowa, Montana, Ohio, Oregon, Kentucky, and Washington.
The Purelight Power solar process begins with a free, no-pressure consultation designed to educate you on whether or not your roof would work with solar panels and how much you could save on your energy bill based on your energy needs. Then, the company designs a solar system to maximize savings and shows you what that system would look like on your roof.
Purelight Power handles the permitting and inspections process with your city and utility company as well as installing the panels and showing you how to monitor them.

Free Custom Solar Design
You can get a free quote and custom solar design on the Purelight Power website. You will be required to provide personal contact information, including your address, email address, and phone number.
Many solar companies have an option on their company website to get a free solar quote, providing you with an estimate of how much it would cost you to go solar. But it is unique that Purelight Power also offers a free custom design based on the information that you provide.
Purelight Power Solar Process
The Purelight Power solar installation process is simple and only involves four steps, ensuring you that your solar system can be installed with ease and speed. The company’s solar installation process includes the following steps:
- Consultation — A Purelight Power representative will show you how much you could save by switching to solar.
- Design and Savings Report — Purelight Power will create a 3D model of what your designed solar system would look like on your roof
- Permitting — All inspections and permits will be handled by Purelight Power.
- Installation — Purelight Power hires experienced, local installers to install your custom solar system.
Purelight Power Performance Guarantee
Purelight Power provides a number of warranties, including a 20-year equipment warranty and a 10-year workmanship warranty. These are in line with industry standards in the United States.
But where Purelight Power excels is in its performance guarantee. Purelight Power provides a 25-year performance guarantee — if your solar power system doesn’t produce the energy that Purelight Power said it would, the company will pay the difference.
Zero Down Financing
To help make going solar a reality for homeowners, Purelight Power offers financing options, including zero down financing. In combination with state and federal government incentives, Purelight Power’s zero down financing program can help you go solar with nothing out of pocket, allowing you to significantly cut costs on your solar panel installation.
Going solar can be a large investment — the cost to install solar panels can range from $15,000 to $25,000. Because solar panel installation has a high price tag, most solar companies offer financing options, but not all companies offer a zero down payment option.
CO2 Neutral Company
Purelight Power has earned the CO2 Neutral label from Vincotte, a third-party company that inspects, assesses, trains, and certifies businesses based on safety and efficiency standards. The CO2 Neutral label means that Purelight Power has reduced its CO2 emissions and provides compensation for its remaining CO2 emissions.
The Bad
- Undisclosed Solar Brands
- No NABCEP Certification
- No Solar Batteries
Undisclosed Solar Brands
Although Purelight Power describes its panels as top-of-the-line and provides a 20-year manufacturer's warranty on all systems, the company does not mention specific solar manufacturers on its site. Panels and inverters vary from brand to brand and can greatly influence the overall price, durability, and energy efficiency of the solar panel system.
No NABCEP Certification
Purelight Power does not appear to hold a certification from the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP), a nationally recognized organization responsible for some of the most respected and sought-after technician training programs in the solar industry.
While the lack of certification should not disqualify Purelight Power from consideration, its presence can make the difference for homeowners comparing multiple solar providers in their area.
No Solar Batteries
Purelight Power does not yet provide solar batteries or energy storage as a means of upgrading the solar panel system. Solar storage solutions improve the overall efficiency of the system because they can reduce the home's dependence on the electrical grid and can be used in the event of a grid outage or other emergency.
The Bottom Line
Purelight Power's dedication to clean energy and impressive performance guarantee make this solar company one worth looking into.
According to the company's website, you can save up to $41,000 on your utility bills over time with $0 down when you install a Purelight Power solar energy system.
The solar company provides a 20-year equipment warranty and a 10-year workmanship warranty, both of which are fairly standard for the solar industry. Purelight Power also guarantees the performance of its systems for 25 years.
If your solar panel system doesn't provide the amount of power that Purelight Power said it would, resulting in higher energy bills, Purelight will pay the difference. This is above and beyond what many solar companies offer and encourages a great deal of confidence in Purelight Power's solar energy systems.
Purelight Power is also a Vincotte Validated CO2 Neutral company. This means that Vincotte, a third party, has certified that Purelight Power has reduced its CO2 emissions and pays to offset the rest. This distinguishes the solar installer from its competitors and demonstrates its commitment to combating climate change with more than just solar energy.
Where Purelight Power falls short is in the details listed on its website, which doesn't specify the company's brand of solar panels and pricing and financing options. You can obtain this information with a consultation with the company.
