Capabilities

Renewable Energy Development and Installation

Service website

Design, development, and installation of grid-connected solar and battery systems for small businesses and commercial facilities. Projects range from rooftop net-metered arrays to megawatt-scale export systems, and include integrated roof services through a partner roofing company.

  • Net Metered Solar

    Grid-tied rooftop solar with panel-level power optimizer monitoring. System value increases as electricity rates rise over time.

  • Net Metered Solar with Battery Backup

    Solar plus battery storage that continues powering critical loads during grid outages. Battery capacity can participate in utility demand-response programs such as Connected Solutions for additional revenue.

  • Export Solar (REGrowth / Feed-In Tariff)

    Systems tied directly to the utility grid and compensated at a fixed per-kWh rate under Rhode Island's REGrowth program. Not constrained by on-site consumption, enabling larger array designs.

  • Solar System Maintenance and Modernization

    Diagnosis and repair of aging solar equipment, inverter replacement, and upgrades to modern safety and power-control electronics. Includes panel removal and reinstallation to accommodate roof work.
