Solar Photovoltaic Installation in RI

Do you want to use a clean, sustainable, carbon-free energy source? Then consider using solar power to power your home. Going solar not only provides an environmentally friendly energy source, but can also add some coins to your pocketbook.

Furthermore, federal and state rebate programs make solar a great investment. Let us show you how to go green, save money, and give back to our environment.

Growth in Solar Power

Over the past year, the amount of solar power capacity increased 50% year over year. This increase in size is a direct result of the “sun rush” we now have in the United States and China.

The United States still has room for plenty of growth in the solar market. According to the US Energy Information Administration, solar power accounts for only 1.5% of US electrical generation.

Tax Credits

While many of the best tax credits for purchasing solar power system are almost gone, there are still significant savings for solar.

The Federal Solar Tax Credit (ITC) offers a scaling tax credit for solar power over the next few years:

2019- 30% tax credit
2020- 26%
2021- 22%

Moreover, many states offer additional tax savings for residents.

For example, the Rhode Island Residential Renewable Energy Income Tax Credit covers 25% of a solar system cost up to $1000.

It’s worth noting that Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) allow homeowners to sell excess energy for rebates. The amount you gain from an SREC varies based on your state and other factors. Profiting from your investment in solar energy is why so many homeowners and businesses are shifting towards this technology.

Solar Photovoltaic Equipment and Systems Installation Compliance Standards

Every local municipality has their own set of fire and building codes you need to know before you start installing solar photovoltaic equipment. Keep in mind that states also have laws you must observe.

Most state and local codes use the International Code Council codex for building and residential codes.

Important things to remember when installing a rooftop installation:

Can the roof structurally support the entire solar system?
Are the solar photovoltaic systems non-combustible?
How do you avoid water, rodents, or insects invading the property around the solar photovoltaic system?

Mister Sparky scheduled my appointment super fast. Jay arrived on time, was very knowledgeable, polite and explained the situation. He fixed the issue with parts he had with him. Will definitely use again and highly recommend.

Upon requesting assistance with some major electrical upgrades, I was called to make an appointment than followed up with text messages relating to the visit. Very good communication. Jay was very professional and knowledgeable. He was attentive to my request and offered solutions within the parameters of working within an 1840's historic house.

I have dealt with many contractors over the years and by far this company is top 3 companies I have dealt with. They came out the same day I called for an estimate and that same day I got the estimate via email. Less than 2 weeks later the job was done. I had another company prior to them that I waiting over a year and no work was done and I had difficult time getting my money back. Mr. Sparky and Jay were very professional and did not waste my time with pointless things. The only thing I would say I think they should not do is ask for money to come out to give an estimate. They took that charge off and came out for a free estimate but in terms of loosing customers that is possible way of not being able to get business. I would highly recommend them Jay is a great guy and very informative and I wish more people ran their business like them. Thank You Mr. Sparky for the great job!

Mister Sparky did a great job with my Tesla wall connector installation. A representative bothered to come to the house to scope the project, and get back promptly with a price. The company has a good communication follow up thereafter.. Work done was perfect !

- David Dion
