    Yesterday (Jan 1, 2025) was the ninth anniversary of my solar system from Newport Solar and I am very satisfied and glad that I had this system installed. This summer I added Batteries to the system, so now I am truly self sufficient and never without power. In the 9 years since I have had the Newport Solar system panels installed, I have had 4 small bills from RI Energy and now, with the Battery addition, I do not expect to ever have another! The service from Newport Solar has been excellent, installations, explanations about the systems and followups timely and efficient.

    The Newport Solar team is terrific. 7 years ago they installed 20 panels to our house.We added 14 panels on our roof.. Casey came with two scenarios (estimate) and explained how much power they will produce. We decided and 3 weeks later the crew came in and installed the 14 panels in 1 1/2 day. The inspection took place the week after .I would recommend Newport Solar without hesitation.

    Please consider Newport Solar for your solar installation!We interviewed and received proposals from multiple firms. Newport Solar wasnt the least expensive, but they were far and away the most honest, knowledgeable, professional, and responsive. Their price was within 5-10 percent of their competitors. Their proposal was WAY better than the others. Its clear that they are the RI regional leaders for very good reasons.They should reach a total of 1,000 lifetime installations by the end of the year (2023). Theyre clearly going to be around to service your system. The other firms havent completed 50 in the state or region.Ive heard horror stories about other firms, some from neighbors, Im sad to say. I have nothing but positive feedback about Newport Solar. Youre likely to be sorry if you go with someone else, or youll at least be missing out.With regard to solar in general, its a great deal. Our installation covers all our electrical needs, including pool operation, five air conditioning zones, normal needs of our six bedroom house (we live in Jamestown and are fortunate to have many extended family members and friends visiting), etc.We are generating enough excess that weve replaced our dated hot water heater with a new electric one. Free hot water! Next up is an electric car. That may require some more panels, but Newport Solar planned for that!

    Newport Solar installed my solar panels and did an outstanding job. The company (employees) were knowledgeable, patient, and reassuring. From the initial stages of learning the ins and outs of solar energy to the final days of turning on the system, Newport Solar was great. Even the installation was impressive; they were quietly efficient, and done in one day. I am very pleased with Newport Solar and recommend them highly if youre in the market for solar energy.

  • Review 5 (2023-08-22 - Rating: 5)

    Couldnt be happier with the system and advise we received and continue to receive from Newport Solar. Weve been up and running for about 5 months and have zero complaints. House looks great with the panels and the battery(s) back up is comforting. Our electric bills are on average $12. a month, we were spending over $350. every month, sometimes more.We had already decided on going with another solar company when a friend told us about Newport Solar, so we made an appt. to have them visit and see what they had to offer. What we learned was that they were much more knowledgeable or at the least, shared much more information about solar panels, what to expect and the panels we received are some of the best panels on the market, more powerful and durable. So glad we slowed down and gave them a call. We highly recommend Newport Solar, Great company!

    Wonderful job! My electric bill went from $550 to $0.What more can I say. Newport Solar is fabulous. Great crew!

  • Review 7 (2023-01-01 - Rating: 5)

    I have only positives to say about my experience with the team at Newport Solar. From my first call with Eric Martin, I was impressed by his knowledge and the integrity of his answers to my questions; he has the best interests of his customers at heart. The positive experience continued through my interactions with the Newport team who worked on my installation.I am delighted with the quality of the work done, commencing with the inspection through to the final installation. I would not hesitate to give the name of Newport Solar to anyone considering a solar installation.

  • Review 8 (2023-09-29 - Rating: 5)

    Newport Solar guided us throughout the installation process. They took care of all the paperwork with RI Energy and town. Their proposal was thorough and accurate - no surprises later on in the process. Couldn’t be happier that we went with them and have recommended them to neighbors, family, and friends.

  • Review 9 (2021-11-04 - Rating: 5)

    We used Newport Solar to install our solar panels and set up our system for generating electricity. They were wonderful to work with: clear about the process and expectations, appropriately apologetic when unavoidable delays happened, answered all our questions, and were nice people to have in and around our home. Since the panels were installed in June, we have been enjoying an electric bill of $0 every month. (that is 4 months now!). We are very happy to be generating electricity in our home and very grateful for the professional and expert services provided by Newport Solar to make it all happen. We highly recommend them to anyone who is interested in having solar at their home. Thank-you!

    Solar System Installation:I highly recommend Newport Solar. Our solar system’s proposal, design, permitting, application for grants and installation all went very smoothly and successfully. Newport Solar has a lot of experience installing these systems and does it well. They do NOT try to sell you extras you don’t need, nor do they employ the high pressure sales or deceitful marketing (bait and switch tactics). Furthermore, all the equipment they use for the systems are industry leading and highly efficient/reliable.They communicated with us very well and laid out the entire process in advance. Their installers were experienced, pleasant and efficient.Finally, unlike a lot of other businesses out there, Newport Solar checks in with us from time to time to see how we are doing with the system and if we have any questions.We are quite pleased with our solar system. and the company who installed it.

    I was so lucky to find Newport Solar. Doug and his crew are not only professional, but genuinely good people. They respected my home and my time and gave me a competitive price on my system. I’ve had my solar for 3 years now, and it was worth every penny. I had some questions recently, and Doug called me back personally and helped with a solution. It was like we never skipped a beat. I would stop your search at Newport Solar. Remember you get what you pay for.

  • Review 12 (2023-04-25 - Rating: 5)

    I have been a Newport Solar client since Aug 2016 and could not be happier. Newport Solar did an excellent job of explaining the process and the expected return on investment. They handled the installation professionally, and handled all of the necessary paperwork with National Grid. The savings have been as expected and the system has worked flawlessly. Seldom do I make the extra effort to submit a review, but I feel very strongly about my positive experience.

  • Review 13 (2018-12-09 - Rating: 5)

    We had an excellent experience working with Newport Solar through all of the phases of establishing our rooftop solar array. Through each process we were well informed and guided with thorough expertise. Installation was well executed and we were delighted that the solar components added minimal change to our existing house. We highly recommend using this small but mighty company for your solar project.

  • Review 14 (2018-10-03 - Rating: 5)

    We installed solar panels 3-4 years ago. At the time, we obtained estimates from 3 different companies. The bids at the time were similar but the process of getting them was not. From the beginning, Newport Solar stood out....they were customer focused, extremely clear, easy to work with and professional every step of the way. We are very pleased with our system and were extremely pleased that we chose Newport Solar. My daughter was recently looking into solar panels for her house also...and she has made the same chose. I highly recommend these professionals.

  • Review 15 (2022-11-28 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely stellar business from start to finish. Their communication is unparalleled and they patiently answered every question and helped us to understand the best plan forward for our specific needs. They were respectful of our space and timeline needs. I can’t recommend them highly enough. I know there are many solar companies popping up everywhere, but if you want the top line in fair prices, knowledge, and professionalism go with Newport Solar.

  • Review 16 (2018-09-12 - Rating: 5)

    Doug and his team were very helpful knowledgeable and efficient. They arrived on time to give us an estimate and answered all of our questions completely. We were given an accurate assessment of when the panels could be installed. Our panels were installed as promised with minimal interruption or mess and have been providing us with free solar energy ever since. I can wholeheartedly recommend using Newport Solar for buying and installing solar panels.

  • Review 17 (2019-05-28 - Rating: 5)

    We talked to a few companies about getting our solar installation and chose Newport Solar. The experience was great from start to finish. These guys are very straight shooters and will even admit that their estimates on your production may be on the conservative side, which I really appreciate. They truly do aim to Under promise, over deliver and they have. We couldnt be happier with the whole sales process, the installation time and now the production of our system. We would definitely choose Newport Solar again!

  • Review 18 (2018-10-01 - Rating: 5)

    I cannot say enough nice things about Doug and the whole Newport Solar team. Weve had our solar system up for a year now, and the whole process was smooth and seamless. As a homeowner, Im always worried about getting things done to my home and finding the right professionals -- its hard to know if someone is going to do a good job or if its just going to be a headache. But I had ZERO concerns with newport solar, and I would 150% recommend them to anyone looking to get residential solar in Rhode Island (I, in fact, have recommended them to many people who I know personally and professionally).

  • Review 19 (2018-09-17 - Rating: 5)

    Great team of employees at Newport Solar, from first contact to final installation. All my questions were addressed and answered in a timely manner by knowledgeable professionals. Installation schedules were set and met with complete respect for my time and availability. I would highly recommend Newport Solar to anyone considering a solar installation.

  • Review 20 (2018-10-01 - Rating: 5)

    I chose Newport Solar to install my solar panels because out of the four companies I met with they offered the most clear information and the best price. From start to finish everyone I dealt with was patient with my questions, thorough and professional. I strongly recommend that anyone who is considering a solar installation should talk to Newport Solar.

  • Review 21 (2018-10-10 - Rating: 5)

    Its been just over a year since our panels were turned on and they are great - absolutely no problems. And Newport Solar was absolutely fantastic to work with. Clear, patient, helpful, and were available to answer questions long after the panels were up. Couldnt recommend more.

  • Review 22 (2018-07-27 - Rating: 5)

    After researching solar 4 years ago and meeting Doug, the Newport Solar team was definitely the Company we trusted to install our system.Doug is so knowledgeable, reliable, resourceful and supportive and is still providing us excellent service.Its great to know how many trees are being saved and reducing thecarbon footprint. Zero bills are welcomed!

  • Review 23 (2013-12-02 - Rating: 5)

    I had been interested in getting solar panels for years, but couldnt find a local resource until I had the good fortune to find Newport Solar and meet Doug Sabetti. Doug was very knowledgeable, informative and made the whole process from start to finish easy. Having had many frustrating dealings with past contractors, it was a pleasure to work with Doug. Doug was always prompt, reliable, and his attention to detail and aesthetics were exemplary. I highly recommend everyone who is interested in solar power contact Newport Solar. My only regret is that I didnt contact Doug sooner! My electric bills have been ZERO since my solar panels were installed!

  • Review 24 (2019-04-11 - Rating: 5)

    Newport Solar was great. I chose them for their 5 star review, and now Im happy to leave them a 5 star review. Our was a 40 panel system, and everything went really well. Im happy to recommend them to my friends, and have done so now a number of times. Keep up the good work Newport Solar!

  • Review 26 (2018-08-29 - Rating: 5)

    Newport Solar installed our 9.12kw system about two years ago and we couldnt be more satisfied with both the systems performance and with the company. Doug Sebetti and crew were the most knowledgeable and forthright of the several companies that we received proposals from and the workmanship is excellent. Thanks.

  • Review 27 (2013-12-02 - Rating: 5)

    Doug and his team at Newport Solar provide great service, even better support and are truly a nice group of people to work with. The installation was thoughtful, meticulous and very well done. Plus, the pricing was fair and reasonable. Theyre a hard combination to beat in terms of their knowledge to help get you going on your first solar project!

  • Review 28 (2023-04-12 - Rating: 5)

    Honest, fair, straightforward, excellent workmanship. Those are the words that best describe Newport Solar. The installation went smoothly and my system is operating as promised. No complaints whatsoever. Thank you Newport Solar!

  • Review 29 (2022-06-21 - Rating: 5)

    I will say I was very hesitant about pursuing solar energy, because it seems to mean so many different things. many of which seem sketchy. After we got a new roof, the contractor told me if we really wanted to get a quote on solar, go with Newport Solar only. I scheduled an initial visit, they were prompt, professional, courteous and there was never any sell job. After much back and forth, we finally decided on a solar array design to meet our needs (Net Metering). Newport Solar, handled all the paperwork, grant proposal, National Grid inspection, etc. I would highly recommend using Newport Solar.

  • Review 30 (2020-02-26 - Rating: 5)

    Newport Solar installed a system on my parents house 5 years ago. The system is operating well and producing the estimated energy. There was excellent communication with their team from start to finish. I highly recommend them if you are considering solar!

  • Review 31 (2018-07-23 - Rating: 5)

    We were novices in the solar space until we engaged Newport Solar to help us explore the pros and cons of a solar installation. The support we received was exemplary from the initial conversations through to final installation. Their approach is educational and not a hard sell. We asked lots of questions which were answered in a timely fashion. We are 2 years in and still get prompt responses to our questions from Doug and his team! Would absolutely recommend this company.

  • Review 32 (2020-06-02 - Rating: 5)

    I vetted MANY solar companies, locally and nationally. No one compared to Newport Solar! They explained the process and pricing so even I could understand. Their breakdown/estimate of everything was very comprehensive and easy to understand. They answered my many questions over many weeks! I was expecting the process to be a pain and take forever! Not so! Our system was up and running within 2 weeks. Everything unfolded exactly how they said, almost to the minute (the crew was 2 minutes early and ready to go on the day of install).I love the end product and I love supporting a local company that has believed in solar before it was cool!I cannot recommend this company more highly! Great people, great product, great service!

  • Review 33 (2018-07-31 - Rating: 5)

    As a practical matter, deciding to have a solar system installed is complex. Lots to consider. Newport Solar provides straight information. Their estimations about how much our system would produce have been accurate. Good information is customer empowering. Were very glad we went solar. Its a sweet feeling when a system performs up to expectations.

  • Review 34 (2014-02-22 - Rating: 5)

    Working with Doug at Newport Solar was a 100 percent satisfactory experience. Doug is extremely knowledgeable about his product, is reliable, on time, honest and delivers the goods. He helped us in every way with our solar project and 3 years later, he is still helpful and right there if we have a question or a problem. We give him an A++

    The solar panels and battery back-up system installed by Newport Solar have performed flawlessly. They made navigating the Rhode Island subsidy easy. We have consistently generated more electricity than we use since the installation.

  • Review 36 (2018-10-17 - Rating: 5)

    Fantastic company Have had system for almost two years and it is producing more KWH than we use (and we have electric mini-splits for most of our heat and air conditioning). With RI incentive the company recommended, our electric bill is less than zero. MOST important, the company follows up with great service. EXTREMELY trustworthy.... we highly recommend them as the best company for solar installation and support..

    Working with Newport Solar was a dream. Doug explained everything thoroughly, came when he said he would (or would contact me if he could not), and got the job done as efficiently as it could be, given all the red tape he has to navigate. My electric bill last month was 68 cents.

    Newport Solar does a great job, theyre helpful throughout the process, flexible, punctual and on top of literally every aspect of the installation.I spent a few months sifting through different companies that could do the install, estimating prices and so forth. Doug and his staff did right by me and my family and are clearly a great team.Our installation was completed far ahead of the original schedule (much to our excitement), was done professionally in every way and involved absolutely 0 stress.If youre looking for solar panels I cant recommend these guys enough, theyre using the right products, offering great prices for the value they provide and they actually care about and follow up with their customers.6 out of 5 stars easily.

    Newport Solar installed solar panels on my roof having chosen them because they did a great job for a neighbor. They were incredible to work with- a great value, professional (and cleaned up@), responsive, and accurate in their solar power predictions. Would VERY HIGHLY recommend them.

  • Review 53 (2018-09-15 - Rating: 5)

    I do my research before I invest money and I wasnt disappointed. Most importantly, they are good people. They are also knowledgeable and dependable. I had the system installed a year ago and the follow-up has been excellent. Most importantly, the system is doing what it is supposed to and it is saving me a lot of money. I interviewed other good companies, but they were the most impressive and they are local. Everyone enjoys working there, which is a very good sign. I would not hesitate to go with them.
