FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

JOHNSTON, R.I. – May 2026 – Electricity rates across New England have climbed steadily in recent years, with Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut ranking among the highest-cost energy states in the country. For homeowners already navigating rising household expenses across the board, the decision of whether to invest in solar has moved beyond environmental motivation and into the territory of financial necessity.

Sunfinity Power, a Johnston, Rhode Island-based residential solar and roofing company, is meeting that moment with a direct commitment: help New England homeowners understand the real numbers behind solar adoption – and be transparent when those 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

New England homeowners contend with a distinct set of energy challenges. The region’s aging grid infrastructure, significant reliance on natural gas for electricity generation, and exposure to severe weather have contributed to utility rates that are both high and unpredictable. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Rhode Island and Massachusetts consistently place among the top five most expensive states for residential electricity – a reality that has accelerated energy independence from a long-term goal to an immediate financial concern for many households.

For homeowners dealing with an aging roof, the financial picture grows more complicated. A roof replacement and a solar installation each represent substantial home improvement expenditures, and the timing of those two projects can have a meaningful impact on overall 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-obligation conversation focused on understanding a homeowner’s energy usage, roof condition, financial goals, and timeline. From that discussion, the company prepares a customized Solar Savings Report that models projected savings, payback period, and long-term return on investment using the homeowner’s actual utility data and property details.

“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 for a household, Sunfinity Power offers a fully integrated path forward: solar panel installation, roof replacement, and electrical panel upgrades combined under a single contract, a single warranty, and one accountable partner – with $0-down financing options structured so homeowners can begin reducing energy 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 removed its reliance on the regional utility grid. The company’s certified installation teams, in-house licensed electricians, and roofing professionals oversee 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 New England’s energy landscape continues to shift – with updated state-level solar incentives, net metering policies, and battery storage programs expanding across the region – Sunfinity Power remains focused on helping homeowners assess their options with clarity, regardless of whether they ultimately move forward with a solar installation.
