Reviews of Newport Solar (Contractor)

MVS RI

I had been interested in getting solar panels for years, but couldn't find a local resource until I had the good fortune to find Newport Solar and meet Doug Sabetti. Doug was very knowledgeable, informative and made the whole process from start to finish easy. Having had many frustrating dealings with past contractors, it was a pleasure to work with Doug. Doug was always prompt, reliable, and his attention to detail and aesthetics were exemplary. I highly recommend everyone who is interested in solar power contact Newport Solar. My only regret is that I didn't contact Doug sooner! My electric bills have been ZERO since my solar panels were installed!

Robert Stevenson

Fantastic company Have had system for almost two years and it is producing more KWH than we use (and we have electric mini-splits for most of our heat and air conditioning). With RI incentive the company recommended, our electric bill is less than zero. MOST important, the company follows up with great service. EXTREMELY trustworthy.... we highly recommend them as the best company for solar installation and support..

Jeffrey Migneault

It's been just over a year since our panels were turned on and they are great - absolutely no problems. And Newport Solar was absolutely fantastic to work with. Clear, patient, helpful, and were available to answer questions long after the panels were up. Couldn't recommend more.

William Masopust

Newport Solar installed our 9.12kw system about two years ago and we couldn't be more satisfied with both the system's performance and with the company. Doug Sebetti and crew were the most knowledgeable and forthright of the several companies that we received proposals from and the workmanship is excellent. Thanks.

Pasco Marro

After researching solar 4 years ago and meeting Doug, the Newport Solar team was definitely the Company we trusted to install our system. Doug is so knowledgeable, reliable, resourceful and supportive and is still providing us excellent service. It's great to know how many trees are being saved and reducing the carbon footprint. Zero bills are welcomed!

Jill Hynes

Love my solar panels. Use the SolarEdge App all the time to check how much electricity we are generating. Everyone at Newport Solar was very professional.

Elizabeth Nestor

They communicated VERY well, they did their work efficiently and on-time. Friendly, smart and tremendously responsive. Can't say enough good things! Recently they came back to check up on a system problem. NOT their fault, a component gave out, they were prompt to respond, fast to come, and quick to figure it out and fix it. AGAIN, can't say enough good things! their communication is excellent.

Newport Solar is great, they are friendly, professional. they made sure I thoroughly understood everything before, during and after installation. My system looks and is working great!

Frank Baker

We had Newport Solar add a system a few years agonhere in Narragansett (Bonnet Shores). They were prompt and efficient in the installation and we are well pleased with the results. Our house has central air and we still pay no bills from May through September with the long days and frequent sunshine. We highly recommend Newport Solar.

Myles Dumas

Very knowledgable and professional. Getting solar panels was the best financial decision we've made as a family. Panels look and work great and we're super happy to be generating green energy.

Glenn Russell

Newport Solar was great. I chose them for their 5 star review, and now I'm happy to leave them a 5 star review. Our was a 40 panel system, and everything went really well. I'm happy to recommend them to my friends, and have done so now a number of times. Keep up the good work Newport Solar!

Donna Lico

I chose Newport Solar to install my solar panels because out of the four companies I met with they offered the most clear information and the best price. From start to finish everyone I dealt with was patient with my questions, thorough and professional. I strongly recommend that anyone who is considering a solar installation should talk to Newport Solar.

Sue AnderBois

I cannot say enough nice things about Doug and the whole Newport Solar team. We've had our solar system up for a year now, and the whole process was smooth and seamless. As a homeowner, I'm always worried about getting things done to my home and finding the right professionals -- it's hard to know if someone is going to do a good job or if it's just going to be a headache. But I had ZERO concerns with newport solar, and I would 150% recommend them to anyone looking to get residential solar in Rhode Island (I, in fact, have recommended them to many people who I know personally and professionally).

Timothy Hynes

Great team of employees at Newport Solar, from first contact to final installation. All my questions were addressed and answered in a timely manner by knowledgeable professionals. Installation schedules were set and met with complete respect for my time and availability. I would highly recommend Newport Solar to anyone considering a solar installation.

Joyce Anderson

Working with Doug at Newport Solar was a 100 percent satisfactory experience. Doug is extremely knowledgeable about his product, is reliable, on time, honest and delivers the goods. He helped us in every way with our solar project and 3 years later, he is still helpful and right there if we have a question or a problem. We give him an A++

Patrick Laverty

We talked to a few companies about getting our solar installation and chose Newport Solar. The experience was great from start to finish. These guys are very straight shooters and will even admit that their estimates on your production may be on the conservative side, which I really appreciate. They truly do aim to "Under promise, over deliver" and they have. We couldn't be happier with the whole sales process, the installation time and now the production of our system. We would definitely choose Newport Solar again!

Robert Taber

Great company, all their personnel are dedicated and professional. It is really nice to know we made a really good choice going with Newport Solar. Bob Taber

Doug and his team were very helpful knowledgeable and efficient. They arrived on time to give us an estimate and answered all of our questions completely. We were given an accurate assessment of when the panels could be installed. Our panels were installed as promised with minimal interruption or mess and have been providing us with free solar energy ever since. I can wholeheartedly recommend using Newport Solar for buying and installing solar panels.

Stuart Johnstone

Doug and his team at Newport Solar provide great service, even better support and are truly a nice group of people to work with. The installation was thoughtful, meticulous and very well done. Plus, the pricing was fair and reasonable. They're a hard combination to beat in terms of their knowledge to help get you going on your first solar project!

Jeffrey Taber

Everyone at Newport Solar was knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend Newport Solar for a consultation, estimate or installation.

Sara Nalle

Working with Newport Solar was a dream. Doug explained everything thoroughly, came when he said he would (or would contact me if he could not), and got the job done as efficiently as it could be, given all the red tape he has to navigate. My electric bill last month was 68 cents.

Kenneth Payne

As a practical matter, deciding to have a solar system installed is complex. Lots to consider. Newport Solar provides straight information. Their estimations about how much our system would produce have been accurate. Good information is customer empowering. We're very glad we went solar. It's a sweet feeling when a system performs up to expectations.

Janice Kowalczyk

We installed solar panels 3-4 years ago. At the time, we obtained estimates from 3 different companies. The bids at the time were similar but the process of getting them was not. From the beginning, Newport Solar stood out....they were customer focused, extremely clear, easy to work with and professional every step of the way. We are very pleased with our system and were extremely pleased that we chose Newport Solar. My daughter was recently looking into solar panels for her house also...and she has made the same chose. I highly recommend these professionals.

William Hubbard

Awesome team! Had a great experience with my system installed in Portsmouth, RI.

Nigel Musgrave

Excellent service and communication. Couldn't be more pleased. A great investment both financially and environmentally.

judie sky

We had a great experience using Newport Solar as our experts for installing our solar panels! Thanks

Alan Harlam

Installing my system was simple, straightforward, and hitch-free due to the knowledgeable, professional team and service orientation. I interviews seven firms and they were best in every dimension with no close second contender. Awesome!

Richard Licht

Extraordinarily helpful with the process. Explained everything in a way that it could be understood easily.

Neil Wardley

We were novices in the solar space until we engaged Newport Solar to help us explore the pros and cons of a solar installation. The support we received was exemplary from the initial conversations through to final installation. Their approach is educational and not a hard sell. We asked lots of questions which were answered in a timely fashion. We are 2 years in and still get prompt responses to our questions from Doug and his team! Would absolutely recommend this company.

Kerry Clougher

There’s an enthusiasm from all the employees at Newport Solar. They enjoy their work and the company they work for. They believe in the product and that attitude extends into their work ethic which benefits the customer. Thanks for going the extra mile to make our installation a reality!

Edmund Dalo

I was so lucky to find Newport Solar. Doug and his crew are not only professional, but genuinely good people. They respected my home and my time and gave me a competitive price on my system. I’ve had my solar for 3 years now, and it was worth every penny. I had some questions recently, and Doug called me back personally and helped with a solution. It was like we never skipped a beat. I would stop your search at Newport Solar. Remember you get what you pay for.

Julie Harney

We had an excellent experience working with Newport Solar through all of the phases of establishing our rooftop solar array. Through each process we were well informed and guided with thorough expertise. Installation was well executed and we were delighted that the solar components added minimal change to our existing house. We highly recommend using this small but mighty company for your solar project.

Steven Booth

I have been a Newport Solar client since Aug 2016 and could not be happier. Newport Solar did an excellent job of explaining the process and the expected return on investment. They handled the installation professionally, and handled all of the necessary paperwork with National Grid. The savings have been as expected and the system has worked flawlessly. Seldom do I make the extra effort to submit a review, but I feel very strongly about my positive experience.

The French Confection

Newport Solar team started to install our 20 panels the 28 of May, it is now producing on June 9. Thanks to a great and hard working team! We are pleased!

Rob Babcock

I do my research before I invest money and I wasn't disappointed. Most importantly, they are good people. They are also knowledgeable and dependable. I had the system installed a year ago and the follow-up has been excellent. Most importantly, the system is doing what it is supposed to and it is saving me a lot of money. I interviewed other good companies, but they were the most impressive and they are local. Everyone enjoys working there, which is a very good sign. I would not hesitate to go with them.
