For most of ReVision’s history, we’ve advised people against solar leasing. And for most of solar leasing’s history, companies have structured them to benefit the financier, not families looking for energy stability. Leases have traditionally come with high annual escalators, unclear system ownership, and disappearing installers. To make things worse, leasing companies are often associated with intimidating sales tactics that have negatively impacted the entire solar industry.
As an employee‑owned B Corp, we take pride in delivering solutions that put people first. We’re committed to transparency, long‑term value, and our vision of a just and equitable electric future for all New Englanders.
So why now?
Energy prices are skyrocketing and people are looking for solutions. Meanwhile, the federal administration removed the federal solar tax credit for homeowners but kept it for corporations. ReVision, in conjunction with other member companies of the nationwide Amicus Solar Cooperative, decided to get creative. ReVision employee-owners have been hard at work developing financing options that make solar more accessible and affordable, by leveraging the ongoing commercial solar tax credit.
“I have honestly never seen such good economics for solar, and I’ve been in the industry for a long time.”
— John Luft, Sales Manager, ReVision Employee Since 2004
Our Safer Solar Lease
With zero money down, you can enter into a 25‑year solar lease. Because our lease has a 0% annual escalator, you’ll enjoy a fixed monthly payment that’s lower than your current electric bill, and that monthly payment will never change. If your payment starts at $110 per month, it will still be $110 per month in 2050. As utility rates continue to rise, your savings grow right along with them. Plus, our leasing partner owns the system so maintenance is handled at no cost to you.

This is a great option for people who want zero upfront cost, predictable monthly payments, and minimal responsibility. This is also good for people on a fixed income looking for longterm energy stability.
PowerPath Financing Option
Alternatively, customers can now leverage the commercial tax credit through our PowerPath financing option. By partnering with Amicus Cooperative (made up of ReVision and our trusted, mission-driven partners), we can offer up to 30% off the total cost of the system. (This is in some ways preferable to using the previous tax credit because you get the discount immediately instead of waiting to file next year’s taxes).
Amicus owns your system for the first 5 years (due to IRS requirements) while you own all of the energy it produces from day 1. After 5 years, ownership can transfer to you. This option is great for people who want to ultimately own their system, but missed out on the pre-2026 tax credit and still want to get up to 30% off the total cost.
Unlike traditional financing options, there’s no for-profit financing company needing to make shareholder return. That means fewer fees, fewer complications, and a program built by a cooperative specifically to support the growth of solar, not to generate profits for third parties.

Both Options Are Equally Good for the Planet
No matter how you choose to pay for solar, the environmental impact is the same. Every kilowatt-hour you produce on your roof is clean energy that cuts carbon emissions and reduces air pollution. By going solar – whether through a lease, prepaid lease, or any of our other models – you’re helping us create the better future we know is possible for our kids and grandkids.
