Schools and Nonprofits
Save More. Teach More. Lead by Example.
Solar energy is one of the most impactful investments a school or nonprofit can make to manage operating costs and demonstrate environmental leadership. At Newport Solar, we help organizations reduce energy expenses while creating a visible, long-term commitment to sustainability that resonates with students, donors, and the broader community.
Financial Benefits with Mission Impact
Solar reduces utility bills and protects your organization from rising and unpredictable energy costs, freeing up more funding for core programs. Thanks to the Direct Pay Investment Tax Credit, nonprofits now have access to the same federal incentives available to for-profit businesses. When combined with local grant programs and utility incentives, the financial return is stronger than ever.
Reliable Design and Execution
Our systems are built specifically for Rhode Island’s climate and tailored to your campus or facility. We work closely with your operations and finance teams, manage permitting, utility coordination, and stakeholder communication. Our in-house team ensures each installation is clean, minimally disruptive, and designed for decades of dependable performance.
Support Beyond the Install
We provide training and monitoring tools to help you share your results with your community. Whether you are a K-12 school, college or university, or nonprofit organization, we help you maximize the long-term benefits of going solar.
Is Solar Right for Your Building?
Not every site is a fit, but many commercial buildings are ideal candidates for solar. We will evaluate your property, review your energy usage, and provide a clear financial and technical roadmap. If it is not the right time, we will tell you. If it is, we will deliver a system that works.
Energy Storage
Keep the Lights On. Stay in Control. Reduce Energy Costs.
Battery storage brings flexibility, resilience, and long-term savings to your facility. Whether paired with solar or installed on its own, storage helps reduce peak demand charges, maintain power during outages, and support participation in utility programs that reward energy efficiency.
Protect Critical Infrastructure
From schools supporting IT systems to nonprofits running shelters or food programs, uninterrupted power is essential. Battery storage provides backup to critical systems when the grid goes down, helping you stay operational during emergencies.

Smarter Energy Management
Battery systems can be configured to lower demand charges and increase on-site use of your solar energy. Rhode Island’s ConnectedSolutions program rewards organizations that use storage to ease strain on the grid during peak times. Combined with federal and state incentives, battery storage is now more accessible and financially beneficial than ever.
Seamless Integration. Reliable Results.
We design each system to work smoothly with your existing infrastructure. Our licensed electricians and experienced designers deliver safe, code-compliant installations with minimal disruption. The result is a long-lasting solution backed by expert support from start to finish.
Fleet EV Charging
Serve Your Community and Support the Future of Transportation.
As electric vehicles become more common, schools and nonprofits are stepping up to provide charging access for their communities, staff, and fleets. Newport Solar makes it easy to install EV charging infrastructure that is reliable, scalable, and well integrated with your facilities.
Charging That Works for You
Whether you need Level 2 chargers for staff and visitors or are planning ahead for an electric school bus or service fleet, we design systems that meet your current needs with room to grow. Our chargers are compatible with all major EVs and installed for safety, ease of use, and long-term performance.
Increase Engagement and Reduce Emissions
Offering EV charging is a visible way to demonstrate environmental leadership. It supports sustainability goals and shows your commitment to serving eco-conscious students, donors, and community members. When paired with solar and battery storage, charging stations can be powered by clean energy generated onsite.
Built to Last and Easy to Manage
We handle permitting, utility coordination, and any required electrical upgrades so your team can stay focused on your mission, not your charging equipment.
