About Us

We're a full-service residential and small commercial solar installer serving all Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts.  We make going solar simple by taking on every aspect of the project, from initial site visit to post-installation monitoring.  Sunwatt is committed to offering the best solar outcome to every customer where choosing to go solar is made into a financial decision - it either makes sense for your household, or it doesn't.

We are 'solar' people not 'sales' people.  We'll show you when going solar makes sense, and when it doesn't! The Sunwatt team prides itself on having an in-depth understanding of the underlying technology, knowledge navigating local incentive programs, and access to the best equipment offerings that provide for a custom, economically viable, solar solution.

Projects

We have installed over 500 residential/small-commercial projects in 10+ years throughout Rhode Island and SE Massachusetts ranging in size from a small 6-panel array (1.86 kW) to a 50kW small-commercial installation - and everything in between

The great team at Sunwatt installed my solar panels about one month ago and I have had a 100% positive experience. I love my solar panels and I highly recommend going with Sunwatt. You will not be disappointed.They are very knowledgeable and thorough in their approach. They take the time to explain all the options and they walk you through the whole process before you have to commit to anything. They use NO high-pressure sales tactics of any kind, in contrast to the other solar company I got a quote from.They modeled several different options for the number of panels to install, and provided a quote for each. They handled all the paperwork for the grant application from the State of RI and the interconnection application to RI Energy, so I didn't have to do anything for those. Rhode Island still offers good incentives for residential solar and I was very pleased with how much it reduced the total cost. I have a small roof with some obstructions, but they were able to design a system that works well.Dana and Lars and the whole team at Sunwatt were always responsive when it came to my questions and to scheduling the work. The installation was fast and the site cleanup was excellent. Both Dana and their installation partners from Portside Renewables were very clear in their communication about what to expect for the installation, inspections, and the connection to RI Energy.I recommend Sunwatt very highly. They are a small team, so you get to deal with the same people from start to finish. It is not like the bigger company where you have to call an 800 number and you never know who you will get. If you go with Sunwatt you will be happy you did.
We had Sunwatt Solar install solar panels on our roof 5 years ago and they did such a great job we just recently hired them again to install a battery back-up system. As with the solar panels we could not be more pleased with our battery back-up system. During the recent nor'easter storm the power went out for a couple of hours overnight and the batteries took over seamlessly until the power came back on. I would not have known about the power outage if I hadn't checked the app in the morning which showed an alert. I highly recommend Sunwatt Solar!

I cannot recommend Sunwatt Solar highly enough! They recently installed a 32-panel ground mount array and an 11.2 kW inverter, and the customer service was absolutely top-notch. My project wasn't a standard, cookie-cutter roof install, but Dana, Zach, Pete, Steve, Lars, and Ryan listened to exactly what I wanted and executed the custom design and installation flawlessly. They met and exceeded all of my expectations. If you want a team that actually listens and delivers high-quality custom work, these are the folks to call!

Best team around- easy from the start, super good at explaining the process and they guided us through everything. Hoping to work with them again !
We chose SunWatt Solar for our solar panel install after two of our neighbors were very pleased with them; a fair amount of research; and proposals from at least 3 other companies.We have been extremely pleased with Sun Watt from start to finish.Dana, Zach, Steve, and Lars were very knowledgeable, professional, trustworthy, and a joy to work with. We’re very happy with the team, product, price, and warranty and highly recommend them.Do the research and you’ll choose SunWatt Solar too.

Sunwatt Solar exceeded my expectations. Dana was our salesperson — not pushy at all, honest, and highly informative throughout the process. The team made everything straightforward and professional. Highly recommended. 10/10 stars.
