Upfront Cost of Solar
With the incentives available in Rhode Island, the switch to solar is easy.
Rhode Island is taking the lead towards a sustainable future, powered by the sun. We’ve always been ahead with our environmental programs, so it’s no surprise that RI has some of the best solar incentives and rebates available.
Let’s shine a light on the biggest solar savings in the country, right here in the ocean state.
Rhode Island energy rates are increasing faster than the number of Newport tourists in the summertime. We may be the smallest state, but we pay big bucks for electricity – a whopping double the national average. And just when we thought it couldn’t get any worse, electric rates jumped 50% in the last 5 years.
But don’t sweat it, Rhode Island – solar power is here to save the day and help you take control of your energy costs.

But don’t sweat it, Rhode Island – solar power is here to save the day and help you take control of your energy costs.
Random, confusing charges like the “customer charge” and “energy efficiency program” make up 48% of your bill. Here are a couple key ones explained.
Helps to support and maintain the poles, wires, and other infrastructure that gets the power from the main line to your home—makes 21% of your bill
What the electric company charges you for transporting power from the supply source to local towers and lines—makes 14% of your bill
And at last, we have the actual energy you’re buying. After all the other charges, supply only makes up 52% of your bill.
When you go solar, you no longer rely on the utility company to produce electricity—and no longer have to pay their ridiculous charges. Instead, you produce your own power with a low, locked-in solar rate.
The ocean state has some of the best solar incentives and state-funded programs around.
You can claim a tax credit for 30% of the total cost of your solar system. While this can be claimed by the homeowner when the solar panels are purchased, this credit has also reduced the cost of leasing solar panels, making the switch to solar more affordable today than ever. In order to claim the full tax credit for ownership, you need to have enough tax liability. If you don’t have tax liability, other options like leasing or power purchase agreements may be better options.
Rhode Island homeowners are exempt from paying any additional property taxes on the added home value from their Rhode Island solar panel system.
Rhode Island Homeowners are exempt from paying the normal 7% state sales tax on their solar panel system.
Some Rhode Island residents may qualify for up to $7,000 in state grant funds designated for green energy programs.
Rhode Islanders earn a utility credit for any energy that they overproduce. This credit can then be used to power your home at night and on cloudy days. This allows you to power your entire home without relying on solar batteries.

When you install a solar system with 100% American-manufactured panels — as all of our panels are — you qualify for an additional 10% tax credit. While other companies may use panels made in China or elsewhere overseas, Evergreen’s Georgia-made panels grant further financial incentives to help you save.
We take care of everything aside from filing your taxes for you next year. While you should certainly consult a tax professional, we always make sure our customers are taking full advantage of any federal and state solar incentives. This includes providing alternative options such as leasing or power purchase agreements in the event that you don’t qualify for the incentives.

While you can’t technically get “free” solar panels anywhere, they are “free” in the sense that you can expect to pay less for solar than you already do for electricity — and it costs nothing to make the switch.
So you’re swapping out an unpredictable and constantly increasing electric bill for a price protected solar payment that is usually about 40% lower. While it isn’t exactly “free”, it’s about as close as it gets.
