Solar Incentives & Programs
Installing solar is a great investment, state and federal solar incentives help!

Net-Metering Program
Net Metering: Rhode Island residents can offset their electricity bill with energy from their solar array. In a net-metering installation, a meter tracks the import or export of electricity so that Rhode Island Energy can provide monthly credit for your solar production.

Rhode Island Renewable Energy Fund: For a Net Metering system with a site efficiency over 80%, Rhode Island will help offset the cost of the installation. The Rhode Island Renewable Energy Fund offers grants of up to $7,000 for residential installations and even more for commercial projects.
