ReVision Energy

Great experience

So far, I am very satisfied with my experience with ReVision. What made them particularly helpful was navigating all the factors involved with such a major purchase, from the local ordinances to the rebates, and credits, to the net metering issues, to getting the most powerful system balanced with the most affordable one. One particular area of praise: there was some news of our local utility no longer offering 100% net metering. Due to this, ReVision rearranged their installation schedule, on the order of several months, to make sure we were set up before this might happen. That was really above and beyond in terms of excellent service, and it was hugely appreciated by us. The installation team was very professional and courteous as well. I think it took just two or three partial days' work. There were a couple of very small wrinkles with the process (mostly with the proposal, so I advise checking the numbers carefully) but I suspect that had everything to do with demand booming for them and their attempt to handle lots of new business all at once (I hear they have since expanded their operation). It's still early, but from the installation to now (five months) our solar production has exceeded our expectations, which I suspect means ReVision did a precise job of sighting where the panels should go and how many. Since going solar, I am constantly asked about my system, and have also noticed a number of new arrays up in my town and others. I suspect, at least in my area, this has gone from a niche product to something that will become a normal feature of the residential landscape in the future.

Excellent, dependable service!

ReVision Energy is #1 in Maine for a reason: they provide excellent service every time. Very very happy with the installation on my home!

Very pleased with service and installation

We were impressed with the how professional and courteous the staff were, the easy to understand proposal and contract written for us, and quick installation (2 days) of the system. Now we hope the system will operate without incident for the 25 year lifespan.

Terrific Company to Work With

We had an excellent experience working with ReVision Energy. Their professional staff both onsite and in the office made this a very smooth transition to solar. They took care of everything. They also went above and beyond to make sure that our connection to the grid was in place prior to our utility's reduction in value of energy credits that we generated. I would (and have) highly recommend ReVision to my friends who are interested in converting to solar energy.

Works as promised

I am very happy with my solar hot water system installed by Revision Energy. From the start Revision was very professional about the project and installation went smoothly. Additionally, the projected oil savings materialized. When I expand to a whole house solar system, I am sure I will contact them.

The installers were great . They were very professional !!!! I could not have been more pleased. Everyone showed up when they said they would and cleaned up after themselves. What a great experience. They also explained the system thoroughly after they finished.

This whole process, from our first conversations and reviews, financial approvals and planning to the final installation was so easy it was a no- brainer. Help in understanding the process was never more then an email or two away. The installation was amazingly neat and efficient, despite freezing cold and windy conditions. The capitol a=outlay was zero and the continuing payments are so reasonable. And finally, the feeling of creating our own electrical energy makes us smile whenever we think about it. Just do it!

One year of solar energy

Due to our home situated in the woods among very tall pines, we situated our panels on poles in a field adjacent to our home. We've been extremely pleased with this panel mounting system since we can adjust the angle of the panels through the seasons, simply completed by pulling out one bolt. We managed to eek out 4% over the predicted KWH production for the first year of our operation. Every little bit helps. Net metering has also been seamless. It was most interesting to see how much more KWP was obtained due to snow reflection so now I'm wondering how I can mimic snow reflection in the summer! My 6.24 kwp system at times in January and February was generating almost maximum at 6.16 kwh at the peak of the day. As I was adjusting to understanding the system, emails were answered promptly and courteously. The process from first meeting with Revision through this first year has been most interesting and informative.

They installed both electric and DHW

This is a very professional company, from start to finish. Scheduling is spot on, the crew is well trained, safety conscious and knowledgeable. Bid price is adhered to, and if they see a way to make an improvement, it's usually done without an increase in cost.Post completion follow-up and support are excellent. You can't do better.

After a year - solar panels by ReVision Energy

Despite the lack of state incentives in Maine, my spouse and I decided to have solar installed for our house. In May 2014 ReVision Energy installed a 3.64 KH solar array (14 panels) on our garage, located about 30 yds from the house. They evaluated the best way to install the meter (which turned out to be on the house), dug the trench for electrical cable from the garage to the house, and installed the 14 panels on schedule and on budget. ReVision offers American made panels and inverter, which we purchased. The panel orientation on the garage was not perfect -- tilt=20°; azimuth=240°; skyline heading=164° -- so the panels are not at a high tilt and face a little west. 3,693 kWHrs of production were predicted in the quote. After a year of operation, the panels are hitting this mark as measured by Central Maine Power and by the inverter, despite being buried under the snow for much of the winter. A higher tilt was offered by Revision at the time of installation, and we did not take it, but it probably wouldn’t have made much difference. The predicted output is being met regardless. Wireless access monitoring of the inverter is possible but the garage is out of range, so one my favorite activities is to go out to the garage and “check on the solar,” that is, watch the savings grow. ReVision Energy was recommended to me by a local friend who also had solar installed, and I have strongly recommended them to others. If you are considering solar, my suggestion, as found in other reviews here, is to go for it now despite the lack of state incentives, and to get a quote from ReVision.

Good Job; Well and Promptly Done

ReVision installed a 11.8kw roof panel solar project for us this Spring. The job was done on time and on budget and the people we dealt with were responsive and informed. We had two hicups - they hadn't anticipated a NH Coop charge of about $1500 to upgrade the transformer and because of the size of the project I had to revise their standard paper work to make it work with the NH rebate rules. These were both small points. We were glad we went with ReVision

Intervale Road Project

In building our new home we decided to down size and to be as energy efficient as possible. That led to a decision to be totally solar powered (with the exception of a propane emergency generator-this is the coast of Maine). All of our energy needs are met by our solar panel installation in conjunction with dual metering with Central Maine Power. ReVision Energy's system has performed as promised and we are very pleased with our system and the results. ReVision sized our system to support a plug in hybrid car which I am currently shopping for.

Solar Array Installed on Our Roof

We were impressed by the skill and effectiveness of the ReVision staff who planned and installed the solar array and additional equipment in the house. The system has worked without flaws and currently cuts our monthly bill from Central Maine Power to roughly $15. We are pleased and fully satisfied with the overall installation.

Professional and Easy

ReVision Energy came to my house and provided a timely estimate of my solar capacity. They explained the financing available to me and what would be involved in the installation. They assured me that it would not harm my roof or structure. I felt confident in their services. After I got approved for the loan, it took a while to complete the installation (I was on the schedule for a little over a month), but it was worth the wait. My system looks great and works well. I would recommend them to others.

Finally replaced 1970's domestic hot water panels

By way of background, we live in a coastal home I designed in 1970 and have always sought renewable energy improvements. In the late 70's oil crisis, we installed a solar domestic hot water system as well as a wind turbine, fireplace insert, additional multiple glazing, and other energy saving enhancements at our all-electric home (the world was then supposed to be going nuclear electric!). The solar system was great on payback, but got severely corroded in our ocean atmosphere after nearly 40 years. We contacted ReVision Energy, which had recently installed a roof PV system at our daughter's house in Maine. They assessed our system and recommended only replacement of the components that would bring it up to contemporary standards. Primary were the exterior panels. They went the extra mile to reproduce the basic dimensions of our original rack so the custom wood enclosure could be reused. Interior expansion tanks and controls were also completely updated. ReVision Energy personnel handled all the research and paperwork for MA state rebates. Their installation was efficient, and on schedule, and they kept a clean work site. They explained operation clearly, and we have had no issues in our first year. I recommend ReVision Energy to anyone installing or updating a solar domestic hot water system, and am sure they excel with all renewable energy initiatives.

Great choice

Revision Energy installed my solar hot water system and electric heat pump about a year and a half ago. Since then my oil furnace only comes on during the coldest months of the year. I went from burning 900 gallons a year to less then 300 with about a $2000 savings last year alone. The savings is great but not burning so much fossil fuel is even better. Revision made the whole process easy and their installers where some of the most professional trades mans I've ever met.

York new home

Install went smoothly. System met the projected output in 1st full year (2014).

Very pleased

This company has been excellent to deal with. They did what they said they'd do when they said they'd do it. The only minor problem has been the wi-fi connection to Sunny Portal; but they've been diligent in trying to fix it and appear to have succeeded.

Owner of a residential solar system

The ReVision personnel were terrific in every aspect. I'm very happy with my solar electricity system and would recommend Revision energy to anyone considering a solar conversion.

Gouldsboro Bay cabin

Very pleased with the efforts of our installation crew in February, with our hard winter. They did an outstanding job while answering our questions and (trying) to satisfy special requests. The entire experience has been good so far.

6.2 Kw Solar Tracker

From beginning to end the process of installing our All Earth Renewables Solar Tracker was a terrific experience. Starting with site evaluation to determine the most appropriate array configuration followed by a thorough review of my past electrical demand and a review of potential benefits of heat pumps for hot water production and space heating and cooling I had every confidence that the project would be worth pursuing. Not only has the solar tracker performed as anticipated to meet our electrical needs we have substantially reduced our oil consumption. Finally, it was a pleasure to have an enthusiastic and fully competent crew of installers on site. Kudos to ReVision Energy

Fantastic experience from start to finish

I tell everyone I know about Revision Energy and their solar panels. They have been in the business in this area for a long time and have so much experience. Every aspect was clear and thoughtfully planned. I really appreciated that the planning included an array that is right sized to our needs and that the company didn't try to sell us a bigger array than we need, which would have put us at an economic disadvantage. Instead, it is clear that Revision is mission driven and serious about making a difference for our planet.

Heat pump plus array

In 2010 I had solar hot water and solar electric put on my house. I loved it from the start. The system covered nearly all of my electricity needs. In 2014 I added to the system by putting in a heat pump and more solar panels. Now I can heat my 4 bedroom cape with the sun. Last winter I used only 100 gallons of oil and one cord of wood in addition to the heat pump, and it was a long, cold winter. My electric bill is only the basic CMP charge of under $11 per month. I am loving this! I have "electricity in the bank" for next winter.
