Solar Incentives & Programs

Installing solar is a great investment, state and federal solar incentives help!

  • Earn an excellent return on investment from predictable solar power
  • Lower your up-front cost
  • Become your own local source of clean, renewable solar electricity

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 National Grid can provide monthly credit for your solar production. To learn more about the Net Metering program from National Grid, click here.

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.

Federal Tax Credit (FTC)

Extended through 2032!

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2022 has increased the Federal Investment Tax Credit for Solar projects from the previous planned rate of 22% in 2023 to 30% in 2022 through 2032.

Batteries are also now eligible for this 30% FTC through 2032.

In addition to ongoing solar’s benefits, this tax credit provides a significant financial benefit to homeowners.
