Kids ask the best questions. They notice everything, learn fast, and care deeply about the world around them. Kids for Solar is our way of giving them a fun place to explore energy, sustainability, and the power of the sun.

​

Newport Solar is proud to support and share the work of Energy Detectives, a New England based educational organization whose beautifully written and illustrated books and activities help children understand energy, conservation, and the role solar plays in our future. Learn more at energydetectives.org.

We believe children will inherit the world we build today, and educating young minds is one of the most meaningful ways to protect the planet for their future.

Why Energy Matters

Energy keeps our homes warm, powers our lights, and charges our devices. Every time we use energy wisely, we help reduce the amount of power needed from the grid. Solar energy is clean and renewable and comes straight from the sun. When families learn how to save energy at home, we help protect the planet for every child growing up today.
