Transition to solar without installing panels on your property.

At ReVision Energy offers a unique model of community solar which gives you the full benefits of going solar without having to install solar panels on your property. Enjoy all the benefits of solar - no roof needed.
Currently only available in Maine.
How does it work?
-
For community solar, ReVision Energy builds a large-scale solar project at an ideal solar location, working with the landowner or local organizations to responsibly site the project.
-
You, as a community solar member-owner, purchase a share of the solar array, custom sized to your home's electric usage.
-
Renewable energy generated from the solar array feeds into the grid.
-
Clean solar power is distributed to the member-owners in the form of credits to their electric bill.
Simply put, if the entire project is 1000 kW and you purchase a 10 kW share, then you own 1% of the solar project. That 1% of the kWh produced by the solar farm shows up as credits on your electricity bill.
We currently offer ownership-model solar farms for CMP customers and are filling waitlists for upcoming solar farms.
Benefits of Member-Owned Community Solar:
-
You (the member-owner) receives the full financial benefit of the federal tax credit.
-
You lock in the lowest 25-year cost of power by buying at a fixed price.
-
You receive long-term support and maintenance from a local Maine company (that's us!)
-
You can purchase upfront or finance with a $1,000 down, low-interest loan product.
