Battery Backup

Stay Ready with Battery Backup Systems
For true energy independence, battery backup systems let you take control of your power. We install the latest lithium-ion battery technology to deliver reliable, long-lasting performance. Whether paired with new solar systems, added to an existing solar system, or installed as a standalone backup, battery storage helps you keep the lights on, reduce your reliance on utility companies, store power, and protect your home from unpredictable outages.
It is about having power when you need it, without relying on the grid.
Reliable Battery Backup For Solar Power In Rhode Island
Batteries allow you to store solar energy produced during the day and use it when the grid goes down or during periods of high demand. With a battery backup for solar power, your battery will automatically power essential circuits to keep the lights on, the fridge running, and your family comfortable during an outage.
Whole-home battery systems let you rely more on your own solar power, keeping your home running even when others lose power. Paired with solar, battery storage adds resilience and helps keep energy costs more predictable.

Rhode Island Energy Storage Incentives
Battery storage in Rhode Island qualifies for strong financial incentives, including both upfront rebates and ongoing performance-based programs. These incentives can significantly reduce upfront cost and improve long-term value.
Renewable Energy Fund (REF) Energy Storage Adder
Rhode Island’s Renewable Energy Fund offers an additional $5,000 when battery storage is installed alongside a qualifying solar system.
Rhode Island Energy Connected Solutions Program
Enroll your battery to earn seasonal payments for supporting the grid during peak events. Homeowners typically earn around $225 per kW each summer, with payments continuing over multiple years.
Energy Storage Rebate (ESR Program)
New upfront incentives provide approximately $250 per kWh of battery capacity, with up to $8,000 available for most homeowners and up to $16,000 for income-eligible households.
These programs can be combined to lower upfront cost and create ongoing value over time.
Because incentive structures, funding levels, and eligibility requirements can change, we recommend confirming current availability and program details as part of your system design.

What Our Clients Say
"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!!"
Andrew Ditton
We highly recommend Newport Solar for home solar installation. The initial conversion and visit was extremely informative, as were our follow-up conversations. The team that did the installation was professional, kind, and efficient.
