“We hired SmartGrid Technologies to help our roofing customers find an affordable solutions to do their roofing. My first customer who took advantage of the program to go solar was ecstatic that she got her roof done for free and saved on her electric bill as well. She also knows after 15 years her system will be paid off and her electric bill will be nothing or almost nothing. Thanks Jerrold, you gave my customers options that I never could.”

Solar Five Lexington MA
Solar Power Contractors in City of Cranston, RI
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 September 2019
“Have been a Solar Five customer for about 2 years. Too many great things to say about them. Installation - professional, neat, on time - can barely see that solar panels are installed. Service and Support - I have worked mainly with Adam. If I owned a business, he'd be the first I'd try to hire. Very Responsive; always available; calls to check on things before I notice anything that may need to be checked; Very thorough - great voice (never met him) that is calming and respectful - Treats you like you're his only client. Sales - the system delivers more than promised. We haven't paid an electric bill since the first month after installation. AND we have a credit with National Grid of over $1200. Plus, we get quarterly checks for our SRECs (I believe it's for carbon offsets). Plus, got a big credit off of our Federal taxes and a State tax credit. ($51,000 cost less credit, less quarterly checks for SRECs, less monthly electric bills - system will pay for itself in less time than originally quoted) Love the system - we have a tendency for leaving a lot of lights on and we still have a huge from National Grid. Currently planning on changing our hot water tank (oil-fired) to electric. And get FREE hot water. Also looking at a hybrid car which would save even more off of our gas bills. Great Company - Great system”

“I have the highest regards for Solar Wolf. They were extremely helpful to me with my solar panel project. Easy to talk with and very professional in every aspect of the job.

Most importantly, Ted was very understanding when I was caught up in a bad situation with another company and worked with me get the system I am 110% satisfied with. Everything was explained to me, questions answered, and their continued service in the monitoring of my system is right on.”

Solar energy is clean and renewable, and government rebates, subsidies and grants encourage homeowners to make the switch. Solar power systems can heat your home, produce electricity and provide hot water so that your home is entirely self sufficient.

What solar power systems are available?


The two main solar power systems are on-grid and off-grid. On-grid systems – also referred to as grid-tied and utility interactive – are connected to your mains power supply. If your City of Cranston, RI home produces more energy than it uses, your meter goes down and you generate credits with your energy provider (check your state government for details on any rebates available). On-grid solar panel systems have lower equipment and installation costs, and will save you money through net metering.

An off-grid solar power system uses battery banks to store the electricity you produce. These battery banks store the sun’s energy so you can use electricity at night or on a cloudy day. This system is designed to keep household electricity running for about two or three cloudy days; longer cloudy periods require a backup generator. Off-grid systems are most suited to households that have no access to the utility grid, and are sometimes a cheaper alternative to extending power lines in remote areas.

Hybrid and portable solar power systems are additional options. A hybrid uses two or more renewable energy sources – usually wind and solar, while portable solar systems are used mostly in farming, fishing and camping, and can be set up when there is no access to mains electricity.

What types of solar panels are available?


There are three main types of solar panels that can can generate electricity for your City of Cranston, RI home: monocrystalline, polycrystalline and hybrid. The basic monocrystalline celled panels are fairly efficient and have outstanding performance in cooler conditions, but are marginally more expensive than polycrystalline, which works better in hotter conditions. Hybrid panels use crystalline cells with a thin layer of film, which attracts more energy. This makes hybrid models the most efficient solar panel installation, but also the most expensive. To talk about which solar panels are best for your home and how much energy they produce, contact a City of Cranston, RI solar panel company or installer on Houzz.
