Why Go Solar?
ReVision Energy has been helping homes, businesses, and institutions in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts switch to clean, renewable, solar power for over 10 years. Now, the pace of that transition is accelerating rapidly as product costs have gone down and solar efficiency has gone up. So, “Why go solar?” The goal of this guide is to answer that question for you in thorough, bite-sized chunks. What are we waiting for? The answer to our energy crisis rises every morning, so let’s shine some light on the subject!
