Its one and two star share is 6 points above the typical installer in Rhode Island. Across Rhode Island, 9 of the 33 installers whose breakdown Google has published carry a higher share than this one.

The percentages are Google’s own arithmetic over every review it holds, not a sample we assembled. Separately we hold 13 review texts for this company, quoted below. Google publishes review ages rather than dates, so every date here is approximate.

    It reflects very poorly on your company to have a technician come into my place of business and cause such a major disturbance while on the job. He acted as though he was entitled to special treatment, which is unacceptable. Even more …

    We worked with Newport Renewables to design, finance, get regulatory approval and build a large solar system on a commercial building in Bristol, RI. It was a costly, complicated, involved regulatory approvals (and patience) and sudden changes with the incoming Trump administration and supply chain issues that had the potential to torpedo the project if we did not move quickly. They advised us on each step. They are professional, provided timely responses, and clear and understandable communications. This project would not have been possible without Stuart Flanagan, Molly Esau and their team o

    I hired Newport renewables to do a rooftop solar project on a commercial building in RI. They were great from the beginning until the end plus coming back for warranty work(at no fault of theirs). Project has been well worth it and I highly recommend them!

    With the help of Newport Renewables our organization installed a large (300+ panel) solar array at our new facility. Newport Renewables worked with us every step of the way including design and assisting us with grant funding and rebate applications and our project was completed on time and on budget. The pricing and billing were transparent and Newport Renewables coordinated their billing to match the timing of our grant receipts. The system is now in place and operating as designed with an extended warranty which will insure that our non-profit animal welfare organization will benefit from l

Topics Google derives from the review text, with how often each appears. A frequent topic is not a good one: “price” turns up in praise and in complaints alike.

Ordered by how much we can tell you about each, which is not an order of quality. We do not know which of these is better and would not say if we did.

What we don't know

  • The date above is the newest review we hold, which is not necessarily the newest that exists — we hold a large share of Google's reviews, not all of them.
  • We found nothing on a website for this company that states a warranty, a licence or how long it has traded.
  • We do not verify licences, insurance or bonding. Nothing here has been checked against a state licensing board.
  • We cannot tell you what an installation costs, and we hold nothing about the equipment they fit.
