Sustainability

Solar Energy

Sellwood Family Medicine, LLC has a great interest in environmental sustainability.  Since 2009, we have been operating a 4800 watt solar photovoltaic (electric) system that provides 60 percent of our total energy use.  Despite the limited amount of sunshine, Oregon has become a leader in solar power.

Thanks to incentive funding from the Energy Trust of Oregon coupled with state and federal tax credits, Sellwood Family Medicine was able to make this project a reality.  Imagine Energy, a local Portland company, designed and installed our solar system for us.

Imagine Energy is also the selected contractor for Solarize Portland, a volunteer group that strives to bring solar power to Portland homes.  In addition to reduced energy costs, we have made a substantial reduction in our carbon 'footprint.'  Please let us know if you have further ideas on sustainability.
