Empowering Land Conservation With Solar Energy Welcome!

To help Northern New England make the transition from finite, polluting fossil fuel energy sources to clean, renewable solar energy sources. To embody principles of fairness and equity in all of our relationships. ReVision Energy

Who We Are With over 4,000 Solar Energy systems commissioned in NH and ME, ReVision offers professional turnkey services for a positive consumer experience. Each of our 80 plus employees share ownership in the company creating a vested interest in our reputation and success.

Why Are We Here Generating solar power using many small sources distributed around the communities where the power is consumed limits line loss and helps utility companies under peak load conditions. This helps to reduce our significant dependence on fossil fuels and simply saves $$$$$!

What Will Solar Do For You Owning a Solar PV system gives people the power to control their long term energy costs with a fixed, predictable, and renewable resource. Simultaneously, reducing your carbon footprint and bringing greater stability to the electrical grid are benefiting the greater good.

RenewableFinite

How Does Solar PV Work Solar Electric systems can be designed to meet up to 100% of your residential annual electrical needs. Net metering allows excess energy produced during the day to be stored at retail value within the grid, indefinitely, until you have the demands for that energy.

Why Change Our Energy Portfolio?

Conservation and Preservation Meets Solar Energy

H.R Public Lands Renewable Energy Development Act of 2013 When managing solar projects sited near sensitive habitats, solar project developers have consulted closely with federal and state agencies to ensure maximum protection and conservation.

The Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan (DRECP) will determine places in the California Desert to protect and where to build clean, renewable energy.

Who Benefits? Wildlife Recreationalists Solar CompaniesLocal Economies

Does It Have to be so Large? Land Owners with adjoining households Environmental Organizations with adjoining Conservation Land Agricultural Farms with a portion of land under a Conservation Easement Group Net Metering Projects for Land Trust Benefactors

Where Does NH Stand? Easement Legalities? Energy Policy? Incentive Programs? Pilot Projects?

Who Are The Stakeholders? Land Trusts and Environmental Orgs Property Owners Conservation Commissions Energy and Environment Committees Youth (+ Seven Generations)

How Do We Get Started? Identify parcels of land with meters Conduct environmental studies in partnership with land trust and agencies Comply with easement restrictions Solar PPA’S (Power Purchase Agreements)
