Solar

Our sun contains limitless amounts of clean, renewable energy that can be utilized to produce electricity without emissions of greenhouse gases and particles that pollute our environment. Solar photovoltaic, also known as solar PV, systems are one way we can harness this energy and convert sunlight directly into electricity, which can be used to power your home or small business. Solar energy will be an essential part of our future as it will be critical in remediating economic, environmental, and social concerns that arise from the production of fossil fuels.

Whether you are a planning a project for your home, your commercial business, your community, or for your farm, there are many existing incentives in Rhode Island that can help you out and save you money. Each incentive below has elements that can provide assistance to you no matter what sort of system you are looking to install.
