Top-5 Electricity Costs in RI and MA Push Homeowners Toward Solar – Here Is How One Company Guides Them
Johnston, United States – May 6, 2026 / Sunfinity Power /
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JOHNSTON, R.I. – May 2026 – Electricity costs across New England have climbed steadily in recent years, with Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut among the highest-cost states for residential energy in the country. For households already navigating increased spending across virtually every budget category, the decision to go solar has moved beyond environmental motivation and into the realm of practical financial planning.
Sunfinity Power, a Johnston, Rhode Island-based residential solar and roofing company, is addressing that shift with a direct commitment: help homeowners understand the actual financial picture behind solar – and be upfront when the numbers do not support moving forward.
“Energy independence isn’t a slogan for us – it’s a financial outcome we help homeowners actually achieve,” said Anthony Wesley of Sunfinity Power. “But we also believe that solar isn’t right for every home or every situation. Our job is to give people the honest picture, not to close a sale.”
A Region Under Pressure
Homeowners across New England face a distinct set of energy challenges. The region’s aging grid infrastructure, reliance on natural gas for power generation, and vulnerability to severe weather have kept utility rates both elevated and unpredictable. Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration consistently places Rhode Island and Massachusetts in the top five most expensive states for residential electricity — a condition that has made energy independence a near-term financial priority for a growing number of families.
For homeowners with aging roofs, the financial equation becomes more complicated still. A roof replacement and a solar installation each represent significant home improvement expenditures, and the order and timing in which those projects are undertaken can meaningfully affect total cost and long-term return.
The Sunfinity Approach: Education Before Sales
Sunfinity Power’s process starts not with a sales presentation, but with a Solar Discovery Call — a no-pressure conversation focused on understanding a homeowner’s energy usage, roof condition, financial objectives, and timeline. The company then produces a customized Solar Savings Report that models projected savings, payback period, and return on investment based on the homeowner’s actual utility data and property characteristics.
“We show people the numbers before we ask for anything,” Wesley said. “If the payback period is 12 years and the homeowner is planning to move in five, we’ll tell them that solar probably isn’t the right move right now. That kind of honesty is rare in this industry, and it’s the foundation of every relationship we build.”
When solar does make financial sense, Sunfinity Power offers a fully integrated path forward: solar panel installation, roof replacement, and electrical panel upgrades handled under a single contract, a single warranty, and one accountable point of contact — with $0-down financing options that allow homeowners to begin reducing costs from day one.
Building a More Energy-Independent New England
Sunfinity Power has completed projects for more than 500 homeowners across Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut — each representing a household that has reduced or eliminated its dependence on the regional utility grid. Certified installation teams, in-house licensed electricians, and roofing professionals handle every phase of each project without subcontracting core work, maintaining consistent quality and accountability throughout.
The company holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and a 4.9-star average across Google Reviews. It is fully licensed in Rhode Island (GC-51293), Massachusetts (HIC 217899), and holds Electrical License A1 9291.
As state-level solar incentives, net metering policies, and battery storage programs continue to develop across the region, Sunfinity Power maintains its focus on helping homeowners evaluate their options with accurate information and realistic expectations — regardless of whether they ultimately proceed with a solar installation.
