A Smart Long-Term Investment
At Newport Solar, we design and install residential solar systems that perform reliably for decades and look great doing it. We are not a volume installer cutting corners. We focus on quality, reliability, and clean aesthetics so your system saves you money, adds value to your home, and operates with minimal maintenance for years to come.
Built for Rhode Island Homes
Solar is never one size fits all, especially in New England. Our systems are engineered for Rhode Island weather, rooftops, and electrical infrastructure. Every design is site-specific and tailored to your home’s architecture, energy usage, and future goals.
Whether you are offsetting your electric bill or planning for a future EV or battery, we ensure your system is sized properly for both today and tomorrow.
We manage the entire process from permitting to final inspection to long-term support so you do not have to. We keep you informed at every step and make the experience smooth, clear, and simple.
Aesthetic Design That Honors Your Home
We believe solar should enhance your home, not distract from it. Our systems are custom designed to match your rooflines and integrate cleanly with your home’s architecture. We route piping through attics, chases, and crawl spaces whenever possible to keep it discreet. If exterior conduit is needed, we communicate with you and align it carefully to blend in with your home. On inspection day, we are proud to walk your town inspector through our precise wiring and layout. It is more than a clean look. It is a reflection of our craftsmanship and a foundation for long-term performance and low maintenance.
Durability You Can
Count On
We use premium equipment that is built to last. We do not chase rebates or use bargain gear. We partner with manufacturers who prioritize performance, reliability, and longevity in Rhode Island’s climate.
Our team brings years of local experience. We have designed and installed systems across the state for more than a decade. We understand the unique conditions here and build systems that hold up year after year.
We never cut corners during installation. Our crews do not subcontract, rush, or rely on generic plans. We walk you through the layout, install everything with care, and leave behind clean lines, minimal roof penetrations, and a system that performs with pride.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to my solar system if I need a new roof?
If your roof needs to be replaced after solar is installed, the system is removed and reinstalled once the new roof is complete.
It’s a straightforward process when handled by the right team. At Newport Solar, we handle removal and reinstallation in-house. Our licensed team knows your system because they installed it, which keeps the process efficient and avoids unnecessary handoffs.
If your system is still under warranty, it’s important that we handle the removal and reinstallation. Having another contractor work on the system can void certain warranties.
We also plan ahead. Every project starts with a roof assessment, and if your roof is nearing the end of its life, we’ll tell you. Replacing a roof under solar adds cost and complexity that can be avoided.
Starting with a sound roof helps ensure your system performs as intended for the full 25+ year life of the system.
