Battery Backup

Made In The
USA

Be Ready for Anything. Store Your Power and Stay in Control.
For true energy independence, a battery energy storage system lets you take control of your power. Day or night. Grid or no grid. We install the latest lithium-ion battery technology to deliver reliable, long-lasting performance. Whether paired with new solar, added to an existing system, or installed as a standalone backup, battery storage helps you keep the lights on, reduce your reliance on the utility, and protect your home from unpredictable outages.


Why Homeowners
Choose Storage
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. In the event of an outage, your battery automatically powers your essential circuits to keep the lights on, the fridge running, and your family comfortable.
Energy storage provides peace of mind and greater energy independence. It helps you rely more on your own solar power and ensures that your home continues to run smoothly when others may not have power. For Rhode Island homeowners, battery storage is a practical way to enhance resilience and keep energy costs predictable.

Rhode Island Energy Storage Incentives
Battery storage in Rhode Island qualifies for some of the strongest financial incentives in the country. These programs reduce upfront costs, improve long-term returns, and may even generate additional income.
Renewable Energy Fund (REF) Energy Storage Adder
Rhode Island’s REF Small-Scale Solar Program offers an additional $2,000 grant when battery storage is installed alongside a qualifying solar project.
Rhode Island Energy Connected Solutions Program
Enroll your battery in this demand response program to earn seasonal payments. Homeowners receive roughly $225 per kilowatt of battery capacity each year for participating in summer peak events, with payments continuing for up to five years.
These programs work together to lower your costs, speed up your return on investment, and reward you for supporting a more stable and efficient electric grid.
Because incentive structures, funding levels, and eligibility rules can change, we recommend reaching out to confirm current availability and program details.
