residential solar panel installations completed in Providence 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.
Providence is Rhode Island’s capital and largest city, home to roughly 190,000 people, and its housing stock is unlike anywhere else in the state. The city is famous for its triple-deckers and two-families in neighborhoods like Elmhurst, Mount Pleasant, Silver Lake, Washington Park and the North End, alongside Victorians and colonials on the East Side and postwar single-families toward the city line. Flat roofs, steep gables and everything in between, and we have installed on all of them.
That variety is exactly why a real roof inspection matters more in Providence than almost anywhere else. A 1910 triple-decker may need decking or structural attention before it carries an array, while a 1950s cape in Elmhurst may be ready to go as-is. We put eyes on the roof, the framing and the electrical service first, tell you honestly what we find, and can fold a roof replacement into the same project with one crew and one warranty.
Every home in Providence 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 Providence building permit to the Rhode Island Energy interconnection application, with our own in-house electrical and roofing crews. With 212+ installations completed across Providence’s neighborhoods, we know the city’s roof types, inspectors and approval process 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, fifteen minutes from downtown Providence. We know the city’s neighborhoods, its roof types, the City of Providence permit process and the Rhode Island Energy interconnection.
