Solar Champion Stories

ReVision Energy proudly announces the successful completion of a rooftop solar energy project on Coast of Maine production facility in Downeast Maine. Coast of Maine is a company dedicated to producing organic & natural, high-quality, sustainable gardening products.

"This partnership is particularly meaningful because of the alignment of our origins and missions,” said Tina Meserve, Commercial Sales Consultant at ReVision Energy. “Coast of Maine Organics was founded on the belief that organic practices are not only good business but essential for a healthy planet. Similarly, ReVision Energy began as two friends in a Maine garage with a vision to build a healthier, sustainable world through solar power. Today, both companies stand as leaders in their respective fields.”

The decision by Coast of Maine to invest in solar energy represents a major step toward environmental stewardship and operational efficiency. By installing 75 solar panels, the company will offset an impressive 38,000 pounds of carbon emissions annually, the equivalent to charging 4,452 cell phones every day for a year.

"We are excited to take this step toward sustainability and reducing our environmental impact,” said Erik Drake, CEO at Coast of Maine Brands. “Partnering with ReVision Energy aligns perfectly with our mission to care for the planet while delivering premium products. This project strengthens our long-term vision to grow sustainably — grow together, and it marks another important milestone in our ongoing journey to build a healthier future for our communities and the environment.”

The 33-kilowatt system will supply 36% of the company’s electricity needs, delivering a simple payback in just four years. Beyond that, the array will generate clean, low-cost energy for decades, resulting in an estimated $218,000 in lifetime savings. This project not only reduces the company’s carbon footprint but also reinforces its commitment to sustainability and long-term resilience.

"This is a tremendous achievement and one that Coast of Maine should be very proud of,” Meserve added. "We are thrilled to welcome them into our solar champion community.”
