residential solar panel installations completed in Cranston by our own in-house crews.
A solar array should sit on a roof with life left in it. If yours is near the end, we replace it as part of the project so you are not pulling panels later.
Cranston is one of Rhode Island’s largest cities, home to roughly 83,000 people, and it is where Rooftop Power has completed more residential solar installations than anywhere else in the state. The housing stock spans a full century: two- and three-family homes and bungalows from the early 1900s in Edgewood, Auburn and Arlington on the east side, postwar capes and ranches around Garden City, Oaklawn and Meshanticut in the middle of the city, and newer colonials on larger lots out in Western Cranston.
That mix matters for solar. Older east-side roofs are often due for replacement, and pairing a new roof with a solar array is one project, one crew and one warranty instead of paying to remove and reinstall panels a few years later. The postwar neighborhoods have the simple gable rooflines that make for clean, productive arrays, and Western Cranston’s larger lots and newer roofs give a system plenty of unshaded southern exposure.
Every home in Cranston is served by Rhode Island Energy, and those rates have climbed steadily in recent years. Through net metering, the power your system produces beyond what your home uses is sent back to the grid, and Rhode Island Energy credits your account for it, offsetting the electricity you pull at night and through the winter. Rhode Island also runs two separate state programs, the Renewable Energy Growth performance tariff and the Renewable Energy Fund up-front grant, and we walk you through which one fits your home.
Rooftop Power handles the entire process locally, from the City of Cranston building permit to the Rhode Island Energy interconnection application, with our own in-house electrical and roofing crews. With 246+ installations completed across Cranston’s neighborhoods, we know the roof types, the inspectors and the local approvals inside and out, and our Warwick headquarters is a short drive from any job site in the city.
Our office is on West Natick Road in Warwick, minutes from the Cranston line, and Cranston is our single busiest city. We know the neighborhoods, the roof types, the City of Cranston permit process and the Rhode Island Energy interconnection.

Working with Rooftop Power has been exceptional. From the beginning everyone at RTP kept me informed at every step. When a hiccup happened it was addressed immediately and resolved.
The installation crew was punctual, respectful, and left the job site spotless. I was particularly impressed with their attention to detail from the first consult to the final inspection.
From the first consultation to the final inspection the team was knowledgeable and responsive. The system has performed exactly as they said it would. A genuinely local company that stands behind its work.
