Despite its small size, Rhode Island has some of the highest electricity costs in the country. Rhode Island Energy (formerly National Grid) serves most of the state, and rates have risen significantly in recent years. For Ocean State homeowners, solar is one of the most effective ways to take control of monthly energy expenses.
Rhode Island's coastal location means homeowners deal with hurricanes, tropical storms, and nor'easters that can cause extended power outages. Bundling a new roof with solar panels — plus optional battery backup — gives your home resilience against both rising rates and weather-related disruptions. Modern panels are built to withstand high winds and harsh coastal conditions.
Rhode Island's Renewable Energy Fund (REF) may offer support for qualifying projects, while state and local tax treatment and utility-set net metering credits may add value. Rhode Island Energy also offers ConnectedSolutions for qualifying batteries and other eligible devices. Ask Sol NE for current program, utility, and financing details.
