ReVision Energy

unknown

Four people did the solar panels all in one day.  They installed the heat pump later and it took about six hours for two guys to complete.  They were very professional, they were friendly, they do all the rebate paperwork for you, answer questions, leave information.  We had an issue with one of the rebates and they handled it to our satisfaction.  We also  had an issue with a leak and they came right out and fixed it with no questions.  I would highly recommend them to my friends.

A few months after my solar panels were installed, the software told me that one of the panels had failed.  Investigation revealed that a squirrel had built a nest under the panels on my roof.  ReVision energy came out and removed the nest and installed a hardware-cloth-based squirrel fence  in the space where the panels meet the roof. They were polite and took a day and a half to get it right. One of the workers accidentally broke a storm window.  However, they paid for the window and brought the frame to a hardware store.  I picked up the frame a week later and installed it myself.  I was satisfied and realize accidents happen. However, a squirrel came back a month later.  Apparently ReVision had missed a spot when installing the fence.  To be fair, it was a more complex job than it first appeared to be.  They came back and fixed the problem.  They wanted more money than I was comfortable paying, but we haggled a bit and came to a more reasonable price. From the onset they covered the cost of two panels and microinverters (since the squirrel had started to damage a second).  We disagreed about what might be covered under warranty, but in the end ReVision made some concessions and gave me a break.

I got estimates from three companies.  Although all three were ernest and sincere, I had the best feeling about using ReVision Energy.  Steve C. came out and surveyed my property after initially using google satellite images to see if my home was suitable for a solar electric system (PV, photovoltaic).  He was very courteous and professional and spent close to two hours with me.
Two weeks later a structural engineer visited my home to determine if my roof was suitable.  He recommended that I install a dozen "L" brackets on the supports of various attic roof supports to bear the extra 1,000 lbs of weight the solar panels would add.  I did that with a friend's help in about 30 minutes.
About two weeks later a very polite crew of young installers came to my house.  Because my home is old and the roof a bit uneven they predicted it would take 3 full days of installation.  It took 5 days.  However, the project manager really wanted to make sure that the panels looked uniform and level from the ground.  They did a great job.
Two master electricians also came to my house to upgrade my electrical service.  Same level of professionalism.
I have had the system for exactly one year and it has surpassed my expectations.  Steve C. had predicted the system would generate 5-6 MW of power.  For this first year I got 6.4 MW!
I sized the system to be 30% bigger than my current needs so that I could get a Chevy volt plug-in electric car in the future.  Currently I pay no electricity costs and National Grid owes me a credit of over $300.  MA allows me to sell SRECs each quarter to help me recoup the cost (tradeable credits sold to power companies to help them meet renewable energy needs mandated by the state).  The fed. gov also gave me a tax credit of 30% and MA gave me a $4k rebate and 1K tax credit.  My break even point will be in 7-8 years.
The work is warrentied for 5 years and the parts for 25 years.  I bought Suniva panels.  It added about 1K to the overall price, but the panels are made in America (Georgia).
I would use ReVision again and would happily recommend them.

From start to finish, ReVision  was prompt, professional, knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating.  They recommended a design to meet our specific needs, and made all the arrangements for us to receive any government rebates we were eligible for.  We would highly recommend ReVision for anyone who is considering converting to solar energy.

After selection, work was scheduled within a reasonable time frame. Installation took a little longer than expected with the plumber making final connections after dinner on the last night - but he stayed on to get the water back on and the system running.  Support from ReVision is excellent with even the smallest questions being answered even after more than a year from installation.

Revision came over surveyed the site, gave an estimate, and then installed the panels and all other hardware. They installed 20 panels and all needed electrical in two days, working in some very adverse conditions. Also their office staff was very helpful in applying for all the rebates and working with PSNH to get all the interconnect permits.
I also had a small window of time in which I could install the panels and they worked their schedule around to match mine. They also took the time to answer my many questions.

We would highly recommend them. They were efficient. They were polite. They did a superb job of what they were doing. The company themselves when they came out initially to give us cost estimates and everything; they stuck to what they said. They helped us every step of the way with rebates and all that kind of stuff. We have had other people here doing other things but this particular team was top notch.  I absolutely would use them in future. I am speaking at a panel tonight on solar and they are the reason that I am going.
