Rhode Island Solar FAQs
The cost of Rhode Island solar depends on system size, roof type and equipment. Most homes need a 6 to 10 kW system. State grants, the sales tax exemption on solar equipment and a property tax exemption all lower your net cost. A free quote gives you exact pricing for your home.
Yes. Rhode Island solar is one of the best investments in New England because electricity rates here are among the highest in the country. With state incentives included, many homeowners see payback in about 7 years and then save for decades.
Rhode Island solar incentives are some of the strongest in the country. The state's REF grant offers up to $14,500 for solar and a flat $5,000 for battery storage, for up to $19,500 total. You also get a 7% sales tax exemption on solar equipment and a property tax exemption on the value solar adds. Eligibility varies from home to home, and your free evaluation shows exactly what yours can claim.
The Rhode Island solar grant, known as the REF grant, pays $1.65 per watt for solar, up to $14,500, plus a flat $5,000 when you add battery storage. That's up to $19,500 back. Funding is released in rounds and every home is different, so OneGrid confirms your eligibility up front and files the application for you.
