E2SOL LLC


EFFICIENT ENERGY SOLUTIONS LLC founder and principal Anthony Baro is focused on the first quarter of 2021. That’s when he expects his Providence-based company, also known as E2SOL LLC, to launch its latest innovation: A vehicle-to-grid portable power generator.

Users will place the device on their vehicles to collect solar energy that can later be used to power their homes. The product will offer an alternate means for people to save on electricity expenses and help states achieve sustainable energy and decarbonization goals, he said.

“It has power distribution so you can plug that into your transfer switch at home and run your house or apartment at night, or you can use it on the go while traveling or camping,” Baro said.

He declined to share the estimated retail price of the vehicle-to-grid portable power generator at this time, but he said it would be “affordable.” E2SOL has been developing it for the last year. Engineering students from the University of Rhode Island and Roger Williams University contributed greatly to refinement and testing efforts, Baro said.

As demand for clean energy has grown over the years, E2SOL – established in 2010 – has continually innovated and expanded its offerings to meet the need.

The renewable energy company began as a retailer and installer of solar panels, and has since morphed into a full-scale sustainable engineering and development firm.

Some of E2SOL’s recent projects include installing a 121-kilowatt net zero power dual-axis tracking solar facility at Laurel Lane Country Club in South Kingstown and building a solar net metering installation at a Providence AutoZone location.

Through a separate division, the company also specializes in solar-powered docks.

“We are lucky that our products and services are in such high demand right now,” Baro said. “And we have worked to set ourselves apart by focusing on new products to differentiate ourselves in the marketplace.”
