Combine Clean Heat RI heat pump rebate ($11,500) with Rhode Island solar incentives ($3,500) for up to $26,500 off.
Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling. Combined with solar, your home stays comfortable all year at near-zero energy cost.
Bundling solar panels with a heat pump is the fastest way for Cranston homeowners to reach near-zero energy costs. A 10 kW solar system generates approximately 12,000 kWh per year—enough to power your entire home plus the additional electricity a heat pump needs to replace your oil & gas heating system. At Rhode Island Energy’s rate of $0.29/kWh, this eliminates roughly $3,480 in annual electric costs while the heat pump saves an additional $1,410 per year versus oil & gas. Combined, that’s $4,890 in annual savings.
Both the federal residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) and the heat pump tax credit (Section 25C) expired December 31, 2025 under OBBBA. However, Rhode Island state and utility incentives remain strong. Rhode Island solar incentives reduce the system cost by $3,500. The Clean Heat RI heat pump rebate covers up to $11,500. Rhode Island Energy adds a $11,500 utility rebate. Income-qualified households may also receive HEAR rebates of up to $8,000. Combined, these incentives total up to $26,500.
NuWatt Energy designs integrated solar + heat pump systems specifically for Cranston homes. We size the solar array to account for the heat pump’s electricity consumption, ensuring maximum offset from day one. Our team handles everything from system design through Rhode Island Energy interconnection and all rebate applications—one contractor, one project, one point of contact.
