Professional, careful, thoughtful, transparent, informative
My experience with Revision was so positive. Everyone they sent to carefully assess my site was informative, careful, thoughtful and professional. They answered every question I had with patience, they explained each step thoroughly, they were kind and understanding, and made every effort to not only make the system work well, but also look right on my historic home and give me a realistic view of the project. If there needed to be changes, they explained what they were going to do and why it was necessary. I found the entire process incredibly transparent and informative, and got assistance all the way from the initial interaction to the tax rebate process at the end. I have recommended their services and expertise to many people in our area.

Overall, we are happy with the service as so far there isn’t any issues yet since we just started last year. I do want to give a big shoutout to Rachel, who always goes above and beyond! Even my inquiries aren’t in the area she handles, she always tries to find an answer and gives us the update.

Hopefully you never need service
My solar system went down on June 28, It is not August 5 and the projected site visit from the company is October. In the two years the system was installed it has gone down twice during peak production season. While the first issue was resolved in about 4 weeks, this time, the projected repair time is going to exceed 14 weeks. You don't have to believe me. Call their service number (207) 747-0076... you will never get a human when looking for service and you will never get a call back. Press the number for sales and you will get a human on the first ring - even on a cell if needed. I do not recommend using this firm.

Definitely the Right Choice
I had a good feeling about this company from the very first contact. They were very open and honest about expectations and took the time to explain everything and answer my long list of questions and concerns. As an employee-owned company and a certified B Corp (look it up), I felt I was dealing with local people from my surrounding communities, and not some distant money driven corporation with pushy sales. After the initial visit, I received a full proposal within a day or two and was given the time to process, get additional quotes and do more research, without being hassled for a decision. In the end, the decision was between two proposals and despite ReVision being marginally more expensive and having a longer lead time for installation, I knew they were the right guys for my project. In addition, they had my panel of choice (REC) that the other vendor wasn't able to supply. I was also very fortunate that the initial lead-time was cut by several months meaning that I would be up and running for the peak summer months. The installation crew were a great bunch of guys and were on site for a total of three days. I talked to them often and was given regular updates and when they wrapped up, they told me what I could expect next. The only minor hiccup we had was that I was told that the paperwork for the change to a net meter (by the utility) would be submitted by the next day (after installation) and that the utility would have 10 working days to switch the meter. It actually took a whole week before the utility received the application and I did not receive a response from ReVision when I requested clarification on the submission. Perhaps some miscommunication? Luckily, the following week, I contacted the utility directly, who expedited the meter switchover and PTO, and everything was up and running within the 10 day period. The be fair, had ReVision not set the bar so high from the beginning, I would have normally expected such minor delays in the process from any vendor. All in all, I have been very happy with the whole process and outcome. Watching that meter "spin" backwards so much more than it does forwards gives a warm fuzzy feeling, and let's me know that I'm saving up credit for the winter. My calculations from the first few weeks of operation (sunny and cloudy days) helped validate the system sizing and the meeting of our goal to eliminate our bill completely. I'm confident that we'll even make a little revenue over the year as a whole. Definitely the right choice!

This is an outstanding organization!!
We are thrilled with our panels and the ReVision Energy Team. The options were clearly laid out and they presented models of energy capture given our roof configuration. And the Installation team was terrific. They worked hard, thought through some challenges, and in the end came up with a spectacular result. The connecting wires are largely hidden and those that were necessary are only visible if you look for them. We did not expect it to look so good. During the process there were some COVID delays and the team stepped up to mitigate them. As family and friends see our panels, I am steering them to ReVision Energy.

Everything clicked
Installation was conducted back in April 2020 just as the COVID panic was rearing its ugly head. Crew worked efficiently and job was completed in one day. Schedule was mutually agreed on so that failing asphalt roof could replaced with standing seam prior to installation. A real plus was that all permitting and interface with the power company was taken care as was tax related paperwork. They did it all. Now it’s January and I’m enjoying electric heat in my workshop that was actually captured and banked last summer. Professional installation in every respect. Right down to being ready for code enforcement inspection. Highly recommended.

Service for maintenance and repairs is lacking.
We had a solar hot water system installed in 2009 and heat pumps in 2014. The installations went well and we really like the systems we have. The problem is to get anyone to come for regular maintenance or repair. You call, leave a message and you don't hear back from anyone for over a week. Call back, talk to someone who says they will look into it - same thing, you don't hear back. They have one person to service heat pumps. This has nothing to do with Covid, as this is the same one person they've had for many years. Because they did not plug up the holes on the outside piping covers of the heat pumps, we had mice that chewed the insulation off the piping. We wanted to know if it was something we could fix ourselves. After talking with several different people who could not give us a clear answer, we were given three names of other companies to do the work. Since most other solar installers only want to work on systems they install, getting service done is a problem. After much frustration, we called Fujitsu and talked with a wonderful tech who answered all our questions in less than 15 minutes. We fixed it ourselves and it is now mice proof. Now we have another simple issue - heat pump inside cover needs to be replaced - and it's been weeks trying to get a service call scheduled. ReVision loves to install, but are terrible about servicing what they install. Would not recommend them for this reason. Their service department is beyond terrible.

Professionals - Start to Finish
I am a retired construction executive, so when I decided to put solar on my house I did a fair amount of research on solar companies, and interviewed and got estimates from four. All four were good and the prices were all in the $32 to $34K range for the same system. I went with Revision Energy because their salesman was the most responsive and gave the most complete and detailed answers to my numerous questions. This indicated to me that this company was focused on customer service. The project went very well. I am a hard grader of construction companies, but Revisions Energy got an A. Clear communication, very responsive, took care of all permits and the paperwork with Eversource, showed up when they said they would, and did excellent work. The project manager, the solar installers, the electricians, and the business manager were all very good. Everyone followed Covid protocols. I had one minor problem with a section of the critter guard, and they came right out and fixed it. I feel very confident to highly recommend this company.
Jason E | Arlington, MA | 04/03/2019
Well planned install that was fairly painless for me
We worked with Revision to install two arrays (20 panels & 15 panels) on the roof of our two unit condo. Each unit-owner paid for their respective array. Everything went pretty smooth. The pre-planning was well thought out, the technical site visit was informative and the plans submitted to my towns building department were very quickly approved. The actual install took about 3 days due to weather complications. Once the panels were wired and Eversource switched out the electric meter to a net-meter, we were off an running. Shortly afterwards, I noticed that our 5kw inverter was "clipping" at 4kw. I called Revision and they had a crew out the next day. What had happened was that our inverter was switched with our downstairs neighbor. Our 20 panels were going into her 4kw inverter and her 15 panels were going into our 5kw inverter. This was quickly corrected. A few weeks after install I had an optimizer on one of the panels fail so that only 19 of the 20 were producing power. Again, they had a crew out in a few days to fix it at no additional charge. I also called them after I had a water leak in our ceiling. I was concerned that it was due to the solar install, but upon further investigation I learned that our HVAC condensate drain had separated and was leaking condensate water onto our ceiling. Again, I was pleased that they responded so quickly to an issue that they weren't responsible for. My system went live at the end of October 2018 and we didn't produce enough power to meet all of our need through the winter. At it's peak, our electric meter showed a net of 450kwh used. However, we haven't had an electric bill since January 2019 and our meter is now showing a net of about 150kwh used. I expect that it will get back to zero (or lower) before we turn on the central air. Time will tell if it truly produces the 107% of the energy we designed for, but so far, I'm optimistic.

Smooth, and easy to work with every step of the way.
Everyone was straightforward from start to finish. Professional, courteous, and they had their act together you seldom see with companies these days. They were there to guide you and help you every step of the way. From scheduling installation, inspection, to signing and submitting paperwork to one's utility. Can't recommend Revision enough. We had a minor issue upon installation, and they were attentive and made sure the problem was resolved which it was.
DocRoss | Concord, NH | 02/08/2019
Professional installation of Solar Panels and Heat Pump
From the initial evaluation by Revision Energy to the final walk-through following installation, I was very pleased with the personnel, both sales, installers and front-office. They communicated well, made sure we understood what was going to happen and when. The two crews were professional, respectful, and on-time, and the projects were completed in three days each, as expected. We are very happy with the solar panels, which are making electricity even now in February, and the heat pump, in the heating mode, works well. I am confident that if we encounter any service issues, Revision Energy will attend to them promptly.
Andy in Maine | Readfield, ME | 12/29/2018
great folks, great system
We have now had Revision place two systems on our roof. They have been very helpful in both the decision making process and effective in installation and connection. Genuinely nice folks, well-versed in solar options.

Happy Sunshine
Everyone we worked with from ReVision was wonderful, and they have a very well thought out system that is adaptive and responsive. Our solar installation went really well given all the factors for site prep; they met the stated schedule, and their staff were very communicative and informative. We highly recommend ReVision.
JR Southern Maine | 12/16/2018
LG Solar 10.4kwh install
My dad has worked with Revison for the last 20 years and highly recommended, so I went with them for my Solar install. I cannot say enough good things about them. Everything is working as designed and I could not be happier. Since my install, my electric bills have been $11 per month and I have banked almost 4 mwhs with the power company.
Mike Summerer | 12/01/2018
Excellent system installation
ReVision Energy was the only installer willing to work with me to minimize radio interference from their equipment (I am a ham radio operator). Their crew was courteous and competent, and the installation was neat and tidy. They also designed a more effective installation footprint compared with the initial plan.

Solar Install
Liberty staff were knowledgeable, friendly and professional, during the sales cycles, installation and follow-up fine-tuning of the system. Working with Jonathan to design our system was great. As was Jonathan the service tech who assisted us after the installation. The services folks were responsive and worked with us to remedy a few minor bumps.
Michael S | Portland, ME | 11/30/2018
Super Happy with My 24-Panel Residential Solar Install!
I could not be happier with my solar array that ReVision Energy installed on my roof! Chris, the sales rep, did a fantastic job of educating us on residential solar, doing our initial site survey, giving us an accurate performance estimation, and answering close to 1 million questions that we had throughout the process leading up to install. The installation went super smooth and was completed in 2 days. I could not be happier with the speed and quality of the install. The city inspector didn't even bother scrutinizing the install because he knows that they consistently do high quality work. Everyone at ReVision Energy was friendly and pleasant to work with. I am also happy to support such a great company in general that is employee owned, does community outreach, and even helps to lobby for more favorable litigation around renewable energy laws. The only downside of our install was that we found out part way into the process that we needed to re-shingle the portion of our roof that the solar panels would be mounted on. I think this is a dark spot that most solar installers don't like to discuss too much; that most people have to replace their roofs if it's not a new construction house. That being said, we now have 50yr shingles protected by solar panels that should outlive us. We shouldn't have to worry about our roof ever again. Overall I would definitely recommend ReVision Energy!!
brilliger | Dayton, ME | 11/30/2018
A very professional installer
ReVision installed my photovoltaic system in September 2018. All appointments were kept as promised and there were no hitches with the install. I'm an electrical engineer and they were willing and able to answer my more technical questions. They also took charge of all communication with the power company and that went smoothly as well. Since then I have had a couple questions that they have promptly answered. In sum, they are very professional.
Ann Page | 11/30/2018
Solar Panels
Loved working with ReVision Energy! They are so professional. We had a major issue with our vinyl siding contractor which delayed the final installation of our solar panels. ReVision was patient and encouraging. OMG. Just for this month alone, the energy we have produced from these panels is the equivalent of planting 17 trees! It's thrilling to watch the progress of our panel production via the website ReVision provided us with. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!
Hanson tree | Hanson, MA | 11/30/2018
Revision Energy at Hanson
Excellent company to work with. They are employee owned, which made everyone I had contact with invested in what they were doing. We recently put an in law on an existing structure, didn't want panels on the new roof for various reasons. We went with a 12.2 system 40 panels on ground mount, they gave us a couple of options to pick from, explained everything. If we had questions they would get answers back to us. They used ground screws instead of footings, great innovation had them installed in couple of hours. Installers were great to work with, they explained step by step what was going to happen. Had a meeting at end of each day to go over next day's plan. Took about a week to finish everything. Electric bill has been cut significantly. Would highly recommend using them. Took a while to get them here, they are that busy.

MDKiwi | York, ME | 11/30/2018
Fantastic Organization
We started our solar installation process with a home consult with ReVision Energy, out of Portland, ME. We were visited by David, from ReVision, who was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about solar energy. He answered all of our questions, did a great job working up our project, and was quick with answers to any issues we had. Once we nailed down the project and installation timeline, ReVision Energy was there every step of the way to help us through financing and permitting with our local electric company. Installation was a breeze, and the crew was courteous and efficient. Our project was completed in 2 days, and looks fantastic. I would give ReVision Energy the highest recommendation possible for all the great work they did to help us with our solar energy project.

So happy with our decision to get solar panels. We are going into our third year and our bill is $12.91each month for the special meter. Revision Energy is professional and so easy to work with.

ReVision Did An Amazing Job
We had ReVision install a 16.50 kW solar system for us in 2016 -- two 50' long ground mounted arrays with a total of 60 solar panels. It was a November installation here in northern New Hampshire, and the weather had turned awful, with a mix of rain and snow and cold winds. They did an amazing job of working in those difficult conditions and getting the project done on time. They were a thoroughly professional crew, and we could tell every one of them really cared about renewable energy and believed in ReVision's mission. We definitely recommend ReVision.

I generally do not write reviews and am doing so because Revision completely deserves to be praised and highly rated for their excellent work. From beginning to end, and without exception, the team at Revision Energy has been responsive, knowledgeable, pleasant, professional and easy to work with. I have NEVER been so pleased with a home improvement project. We had a solar array and a high efficiency hot water heater installed.

Professional every step of the way! With tax breaks and lower prices, there was no excuse to wait any longer. System was installed ahead of schedule! I only have solar, no heat pups or batteries. System is expandable, I can add 10 more panels if my need increases.
Paul Willis | New Ipswich, NH | 11/29/2018
Very Happy with selection of ReVision
We talked to a couple of Solar installers - but chose ReVision first because of system price - but also they had the most non-invasive way to anchor the ground mounted array behind the roof of our earth-sheltered passive solar house. ReVision used ground screw anchoring for our 11.52 kW array and avoided the "jersey barrier" anchor the other installer needed to employ. The ReVision crews were efficient and fun and the array went up with absolutely no issues. We also LOVE the ReVision mission and all they are doing to advance solar energy in New England.

Real nice people to deal with. Showed up on scedule and a very thorough and quality job. Could use a little more after install instructions. Not sure what all the numbers and codes actually mean.
PFR | 11/29/2018
Great service, problem solving, and information
ReVision provided amazing service from the first phone call through to installation of our air source heat pumps and PV system. We had a complicated arrangement (2 buildings which were initially on separate systems) with a plethora of options to figure it all out. Everyone at Revision was extremely patient and helpful throughout the process. And the installers braved through treacherous weather to get the system installed on time. I've limited my rating to 4 stars because the production of our system is substantially limited by some nearby trees - the extent of this limitation should have been modeled in advance, but instead it was mentioned as an afterthought, as if the affect would be minor. Now that we're invested, we have to figure out how to address the problem, rather than having the opportunity to consider it adequately in advance. Overall though, a very friendly professional operation, and I love that the company is local and employee-owned.

Review of solar installation Merrimack, NH
Revision energy has been a wonderful company to work with. The installation went faster than excepted (2.5 days from 3-5 days) and no issues. They were all very professional, clean and careful of our premises, and just wonderful to deal with. The 'back office' folks have also been very easy to work with in getting all of the needed paperwork completed. We would highly recommend working with Revision.
Al Retter | Hollis, NH | 08/29/2018
Met all expectations
Working with Revision was first rate from start to finish, Installation was actually nearly two months ahead of quoted schedule, The installation team was courteous and efficient and left the property as they found it and completed the job on time. The office staff was right on top of the project the whole way. Most important, the system seems to be working flawlessly and meeting output projections
Laura Gustafson | Lebanon, ME | 06/05/2018
Fantastic Company
ReVision Energy are the best group of people to work with! They did a heat pump and solar panels for us. They were polite, helpful, and took care of all the paperwork and regulations. They always communicated with us, answered questions, kept us in the loop on what was happening. And they left no mess or debris behind when they were done. They were a real pleasure to do business with.
Janette L. | Cornish, ME | 05/18/2018
My Solar Project
In general, I am very happy. Revision Energy is a great company to have onsite. They are fast, efficient, courteous, and clean up after themselves. :) I probably should have done more research on how much energy my heat pump would use, but I am happy with how effective it is. I am disappointed that CMP is not recording that my array is generating as much energy as my inverter says it is. The discrepancy is 30%, which is huge. I was so downcast to have to actually pay an electric bill, when I only charge my EV twice/month. I feel a bit abandoned now that the project is over, with not having heard anything from Revision Energy since spending a small fortune with them. I will have to call them up to find out why the CMP numbers are so off.
Juniper Point | Kittery, ME | 05/12/2018
Solar, Heat/Cool Pump
Couldn't be more pleased with products, service, personalities or expertise. Every step of the process included open, honest communication, all technical questions were answered fully, and even minor choices or glitches were explained and handled consultatively. All in all, the experience was of time spent with pleasant people accomplishing something that feels ever-more worthwhile. It's a delight to put an early end to propane season, watch the kWh rack up, and look forward with anticipation to those few August nights (and likely more) buffered by our first-ever A/C. We unhesitatingly recommend ReVision
Linda Jones | ENFIELD, NH | 05/02/2018
We are so glad we installed a tracker with Energy Emporium.
We didn't know what we wanted, or how to get there. Even where to put the solar panels. On a roof, or freestanding? Kim evaluated all our issues and recommended a tracking panel. We got it a little larger than just paying the current electric bill. This allowed us to install two heat pumps and have the cost of running them offset by our energy credits. We did this for offsetting the oil bill in winter, but the side benefit is that we now have air conditioning which is something we never could have justified. (We adjusted quickly!) The installers were great guys and provided the extra materials needed to make our electrical changes. We are very happy with our system.

Installation of a new system
I was very pleased with the on-site review by a ReVision energy representative to evaluate my site and propose a system. I was also sensitive to how the installation wires would look on my house, and care was taken to root them through the building and up through partitions with nothing showing outside. I have had several months with no electrical bill, but just the carrying charge. I also appreciated the help in obtaining tax breaks and refunds from my installation.

Grid-tied Solar
The ReVision Energy crew are professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. Any questions we had were quickly and thoroughly answered. ReVision is a socially responsible company that we are glad to support. Our grid tied solar system works exactly as we were told it would, we are very happy to have it. Compared to other ReVision projects, ours was a small job, but we never felt like it wasn't as important to them. A crew came in and completed the install in one day. A wonderful company, highly recommended.
Dan Mc. | 04/21/2018
Great Job!
I chose ReVision Energy because of their superior technical knowledge and because they handle both solar panels and heat pumps. I contracted for installation of both. The ReVision staff did an excellent job on both. My neighbors are already asking how they can copy me.
Robind | 04/20/2018
Couldn't be happier
We spoke with three solar companies before deciding on ReVision Energy and we are confident we made the correct choice. From start to finish, Revision's communication was excellent and support was available whenever we had questions. Every single person with whom we dealt was professional, knowledgeable and attentive to our concerns and needs. The work was done on-time and the workers left our home and yard in pristine condition. Revision was able to design a plan that allowed for many more panels and therefore greater efficiency of our solar power than the other companies with whom we spoke.
