Solar energy is one of the most impactful investments a school or nonprofit can make to manage operating costs and demonstrate environmental leadership. At Newport Solar, we help organizations reduce energy expenses while creating a visible, long-term commitment to sustainability that resonates with students, donors, and the broader community.

Financial Benefits with Mission Impact

For nonprofits in Rhode Island, solar energy can reduce utility bills and provide greater protection from rising and unpredictable energy costs, freeing up more funding for core programs. Eligible organizations may also be able to take advantage of Rhode Island grant programs, utility incentives, and available federal clean energy incentives to help reduce the cost of going solar. Our team can help identify the programs available for your project and determine which options may provide the greatest value.

Reliable Design
and Execution

Our systems are built specifically for Rhode Island’s climate and tailored to your campus or facility. We work closely with your operations and finance teams, manage permitting, utility coordination, and stakeholder communication. Our in-house team ensures each installation is clean, minimally disruptive, and designed for decades of dependable performance.

Support Beyond the Install

We provide training and monitoring tools so schools, nonprofits, municipalities, and community organizations can understand their system performance and share the impact of solar with their community. For Rhode Island schools and nonprofits, solar can also become a hands-on educational resource. Real-time energy data can help students, staff, and community members see how solar energy is produced and how the system performs over time. Our team can also support educational opportunities that bring the project to life.

We help organizations get more from their solar investment long after installation.

What Our Clients Say

Google 5 Stars

"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.
