residential solar panel installations completed in Riverside 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.
Riverside is the southern end of East Providence, running along the east shore of the Providence River from Crescent Park and Bullocks Point down toward Barrington, with its own village center and its own 02915 ZIP code. The housing is classic East Bay: shingled capes and bungalows near the water, streetcar-era cottages that started as summer places around the old Crescent Park amusement grounds, and postwar ranches and colonials filling in the blocks off Willett Avenue.
Waterfront proximity is Riverside’s solar advantage and its roofing caveat. Open exposure off the bay means strong production, but salt air and wind work shingles harder than they do inland. We inspect the roof and flashing before quoting a system, and when a roof is near the end of its life we replace it and install the array as one project, one crew and one warranty, instead of paying to remove and reinstall panels later.
Every home in Riverside 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 East Providence building permit to the Rhode Island Energy interconnection application, with our own in-house electrical and roofing crews. With 70+ installations completed across Riverside alone, plus more through the rest of East Providence, the East Bay is a regular route for our crews.
Our office is on West Natick Road in Warwick, fifteen minutes across the bay. We know Riverside’s East Bay housing stock, the City of East Providence permit process and the Rhode Island Energy interconnection.
