There are a lot of solar installation companies that operate in Medford–and throughout Southern Oregon. Some companies offer services like the installation of solar panels, wiring, and connection to the power meter for residences. Other companies offer solar panel installation, along with backup battery solutions.
A solar electric system for your home or business is engineered to last from 25 to 40 years, so it’s important that you select the right company. Look at how long the company has been in business. Read the company’s online reviews. Talk to neighbors and friends who have gone solar to see how it went for them. How committed is the company to the Rogue Valley community?
Deciding which company is the “best” is up to you, so do your homework. Read on for more information on how to make the best decision.
True South Solar
Your Local, Experienced Solar Company
True South Solar was founded in Southern Oregon 2010 by Eric Hansen. Eric started as one of the region’s first solar installers and decided that starting his own company was the best way to provide the level of service he wants to bring to each and every client. True South has three journeyman electricians and a crew of Licensed Renewable Technicians on staff who install solar power systems full-time.
High Integrity
Do you take pride in your home? True South Solar provides outstanding service from the first phone call, through design, permitting, and installation, to the post-installation walk-through. The team at True South is committed to providing clients with a solar power plant that suits today’s needs as well as any future considerations like purchasing an electric vehicle.
Backup Power
Do you suffer from power blackouts because the power company shuts off power during red flag events? Do you have family members who need air conditioning or have medical devices that need to run 24/7? If so, consider working with True South Solar to install Tesla Powerwall in your home. It’s the best battery backup solution on the market.

Purelight Solar
Purelight Solar is a large company with an office in Medford. They sell residential solar systems. Founded in 2019, the company has grown very quickly and has completed a large number of installations in Oregon and Iowa. The company was purchased in 2023 by a larger solar company with big plans to expand nation-wide.
Klick Solar
Klick Solar is also a large company that has started installing solar systems in Medford around 2022. They are committed to helping the planet by installing residential solar and growing the company quickly so as to provide as many installations as they can accomplish.
Blue Raven
Blue Raven is also a relative newcomer in the Medford solar space. Their website does not have very much information about the company, but they do offer information about solar in other states solar so one can only guess that they are expanding their reach significantly.
Freedom Forever
Freedom Forever is a national company that has rapidly expanded across the country. Their model focuses on high-volume installations with a nationwide reach. While they offer solar installation, their installation teams aren’t based locally. Instead, they rely on traveling crews who rotate into town to complete installations.
Lumio
Like Klick and Blue Raven, Lumio is a large company that attempted to capture marketshare in Southern Oregon for a number of years. It is a national company who tried to serve our market for a few years, but as of 2024, the company ceased operations in our region.
Infinity Solar
The newest entry to the Medford market is Infinity Solar. With a presence in 5 states across the western U.S, their priority on rapid growth is evident—they’ve even been recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of America’s fastest-growing private companies. While their large-scale operations may benefit from efficiencies of scale, the resulting delays and service issues have led to frustration for some of their clients.
The Bottom Line
So, which is the “Best solar company in Medford?” There should be no doubt. Some companies lock their clients into a low-dollar contract and then issue change orders which drive the final cost up to the same price you could get elsewhere. Some companies hire sub-contractors to do installation work, while others hire inexperienced electricians to perform the solar panel installation work.
True South Solar is 100% committed to our home, Southern Oregon. We have no grandiose plans to dominate the U.S. solar market–on the contrary, we’re here to provide ridiculously great service and solar solutions to our friends and neighbors.
