Utility rates continue to climb and the grid grows less predictable. Solar puts you in control. Our systems produce clean energy, reduce grid dependence, and offer long-term savings with greater stability.

Resilience During Outages

What Our Clients Say

Craftsmanship. Quality. Customer Service.

"We have successfully completed two major projects with Newport Solar and have been impressed with their professionalism, expertise and communication during all phases of the project. Wouldn’t work with anyone else."

Dan Wood

"The entire crew at Newport Solar were efficient, timely, clean, and totally professional. When we had a problem with roof flashing that our builder (this was a new home install) was unable to solve, Newport Solar stepped in and solved the issue using their own roofing contacts. Furthermore, given the increase in electrical costs, this timely investment has an even shorter payback life than 6 months ago when we first discused the installation!!"
