Detailed Profile

RISE, formerly known as RISE Engineering, has been Rhode Island's leading energy services company for 19 years. Based in Cranston, they have built their business on a comprehensive approach to building energy performance, with solar installation as a major component of their service portfolio.

What earned RISE the top ranking in Rhode Island was their institutional credibility and 4.6-star rating from 407 reviews. In the smallest state in the country, reputation travels fast, and RISE has maintained their standing through consistent work quality and a deep understanding of Rhode Island's energy landscape.

The company is NABCEP certified and takes advantage of Rhode Island's Renewable Energy Growth Program, which provides fixed incentive payments for solar production over a 20-year term. Their team helps homeowners navigate this program alongside the state's property and sales tax exemptions for solar.

RISE's broader energy services background means they often identify insulation, air sealing, and HVAC improvements that work alongside solar to reduce total energy costs.

With a composite score of 71.7, RISE is our top-ranked solar company in Rhode Island for 2026.
