About

The Oregon Solar + Storage Industries Association (OSSIA) is a long‑standing trade association, founded in 1981, that represents a broad spectrum of solar‑related businesses, nonprofits, and stakeholders across Oregon. By serving as a unified voice for the solar value chain, OSSIA focuses on workforce development, permitting, advocacy, policy, and regulation for residential, commercial, community, and utility‑scale solar projects at local, state, and regional levels. OSSIA’s mission is to expand solar’s role as a major energy source by strengthening the industry and cultivating a skilled, stable workforce. The association champions progressive legislative and regulatory frameworks that provide policy predictability, transparent and simple program administration, measurable outcomes, and meaningful incentives—ultimately driving safe installations, economic development, and job growth in the solar sector.
