Commercial Battery Backup
Made In The
USA
Reliable Backup. Smarter Energy Management.
Newport Solar designs and installs commercial battery storage systems across Rhode Island, giving businesses greater control over their energy, and helping manage long-term energy costs.
Battery storage can provide backup power during outages, reduce exposure to peak demand charges, and support participation in applicable utility and demand response programs. Every system is designed around your facility's energy profile, operational needs, and long-term financial objectives.
Our team manages the entire process, from design and permitting through installation and utility coordination. No subcontractors. No handoffs. A Rhode Island team that delivers and stands behind its work.
Power Security for
Your Business
Grid outages can interrupt productivity, damage sensitive equipment or inventory, and impact your customer experience. For companies whose operations cannot afford downtime, a commercial battery backup system provides a critical layer of protection.
A properly engineered commercial battery system can keep essential circuits powered during an outage, helping maintain business continuity when it matters most. Beyond backup power, commercial battery storage can help Rhode Island businesses reduce operational risk, gain greater control over energy usage, and support long-term energy management strategies.
Smarter Financial Performance
Battery storage is both a backup solution and a financial tool. In addition to providing emergency power, it can help lower energy bills by reducing demand charges, shifting usage to off-peak hours, and earning revenue through demand response programs. When paired with solar, batteries allow you to store more of your own energy and use it when it matters most.
Designed for Performance
At Newport Solar, we engineer commercial battery backup systems with the same care and precision that define all of our work. We use reliable equipment and design each solution around your building’s energy profile, operations, and goals.
Incentives That Make It Work
Commercial battery storage systems may qualify for financial incentives that help reduce upfront costs and improve overall project economics. Newport Solar will help you evaluate which programs apply to your project and understand their impact on long-term project performance.
Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC): Commercial battery storage systems may qualify for a federal tax credit on eligible system costs, subject to applicable program requirements.
Bonus Depreciation Through MACRS: Accelerated depreciation through MACRS can improve project economics by allowing businesses to recover eligible system costs over an accelerated schedule, supporting stronger near-term financial performance.
Rhode Island Renewable Energy Fund (REF) Commercial Grants: The REF program periodically offers grant funding for qualifying commercial energy projects in Rhode Island.
ConnectedSolutions Program Payments: Eligible battery systems may qualify for payments through Rhode Island Energy's demand response program based on performance during peak grid events.
Incentive structures, funding levels, and eligibility requirements can change over time. We recommend confirming current program availability as part of your system design process.

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.
