Home Solar
A Smart Long-Term Investment
At Newport Solar, we design and install residential solar systems that perform reliably for decades and look great doing it. We are not a volume installer cutting corners. We focus on quality, reliability, and clean aesthetics so your system saves you money, adds value to your home, and operates with minimal maintenance for years to come.
Built for Rhode Island Homes
Solar is never one size fits all, especially in New England. Our systems are engineered for Rhode Island weather, rooftops, and electrical infrastructure. Every design is site-specific and tailored to your home’s architecture, energy usage, and future goals.
Whether you are offsetting your electric bill or planning for a future EV or battery, we ensure your system is sized properly for both today and tomorrow.
We manage the entire process from permitting to final inspection to long-term support so you do not have to. We keep you informed at every step and make the experience smooth, clear, and simple.
Aesthetic Design That Honors Your Home
We believe solar should enhance your home, not distract from it. Our systems are custom designed to match your rooflines and integrate cleanly with your home’s architecture.
We route piping through attics, chases, and crawl spaces whenever possible to keep it discreet. If exterior conduit is needed, we communicate with you and align it carefully to blend in with your home.
On inspection day, we are proud to walk your town inspector through our precise wiring and layout. It is more than a clean look. It is a reflection of our craftsmanship and a foundation for long-term performance and low maintenance.
Durability You Can Count On
We use premium equipment that is built to last. We do not chase rebates or use bargain gear. We partner with manufacturers who prioritize performance, reliability, and longevity in Rhode Island’s climate.
Our team brings years of local experience. We have designed and installed systems across the state for more than a decade. We understand the unique conditions here and build systems that hold up year after year.
We never cut corners during installation. Our crews do not subcontract, rush, or rely on generic plans. We walk you through the layout, install everything with care, and leave behind clean lines, minimal roof penetrations, and a system that performs with pride.
Battery Backup
Be Ready for Anything. Store Your Power and Stay in Control.
For true energy independence, a battery energy storage system lets you take control of your power. Day or night. Grid or no grid. We install the latest lithium-ion battery technology to deliver reliable, long-lasting performance. Whether paired with new solar, added to an existing system, or installed as a standalone backup, battery storage helps you keep the lights on, reduce your reliance on the utility, and protect your home from unpredictable outages.
Why Homeowners Choose Storage
Batteries allow you to store excess solar energy during the day and use it when you need it most. At night. During outages. Or when utility rates are highest. In the event of a grid failure, your battery automatically powers your critical circuits to keep the lights on, the fridge running, and your family comfortable.
But energy storage does more than provide backup. It also improves your energy independence, reduces demand on the grid, and helps you use more of your own solar power. For Rhode Island homeowners facing some of the highest utility rates in the country, battery storage is a practical way to keep energy costs more predictable.

Rhode Island Energy Storage Incentives
Battery storage in Rhode Island qualifies for some of the strongest financial incentives in the country. These programs reduce upfront costs, improve long-term returns, and may even generate additional income.
-
Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC)
Receive a 30% federal tax credit on the total installed cost of your battery system, whether paired with solar or installed on its own through 2025. -
Renewable Energy Fund (REF) Energy Storage Adder
Rhode Island’s REF Small-Scale Solar Program offers an additional $2,000 grant when battery storage is installed alongside a qualifying solar project. -
Rhode Island Energy Connected Solutions Program
Enroll your battery in this demand response program to earn seasonal payments. Homeowners receive roughly $225 per kilowatt of battery capacity each year for participating in summer peak events, with payments continuing for up to five years.
These programs work together to lower your costs, speed up your return on investment, and reward you for supporting a more stable and efficient electric grid.
Is Energy Storage Right for You
Battery storage may be a smart next step if any of the following apply:
-
You want backup power during storms or grid failures
-
You already have solar and want to get more value from it
-
You are interested in using more of your own energy and sending less to the grid
Every home is different. We will help you explore options that make the most sense for your energy goals, your budget, and your home.
EV Charging
Power Your Drive at Home.
Electric vehicles are transforming transportation, and installing a home EV charger is one of the best ways to maximize their convenience and efficiency. Whether you are driving a Tesla, Ford, Rivian, or any other EV, we install reliable, high-performance charging equipment to make at-home charging simple and fast.
Why Install a Home EV Charge
Level 2 home chargers provide four to six times faster charging than a standard 120-volt outlet, allowing you to fully recharge overnight. This means no more planning trips around charging stations or waiting in line at public chargers. Just plug in at night, and your car is ready to go in the morning.
Installing a home charger also allows you to take full advantage of time of use rates, solar energy, or future smart grid incentives. When paired with solar and battery storage, your transportation becomes even more self-reliant and sustainable.
Equipment Options We Trust
We install only proven EV charging products from manufacturers that meet our standards for safety, customer support, and system integration.
The Future of Bi-Directional Charging
Bi-directional EV chargers, also known as Vehicle to Home or Vehicle to Grid systems, are starting to enter the market and represent the next frontier in energy flexibility. These systems allow your EV to not only charge from your home but also send power back to your home during an outage or high demand period. Your vehicle can serve as a mobile battery, increasing your energy resilience and providing backup power when the grid is down.
Clean Installations with Long-Term Reliability
As with everything we do, our EV charger installations are neat, durable, and code compliant. We take care to conceal conduit when possible, minimize the impact on your home’s exterior, and ensure the final result feels integrated with your space.
Our licensed electricians handle permitting, inspection, and any required upgrades so you can focus on enjoying the convenience of charging at home.
