Planning on going solar this year, have the money set aside so don't need an energy loan. Curious the reviews folks might have for different companies. Located in York county.

I was off grid and used assured solar energy out of Yarmouth I believe. They traveled to Fairfield to do my project.

Just had mine installed by ReVision and they were great about getting all the info, install and communication. I am in Northern York County and they came here out of their Portland office.

Reached out in June for consult. Had to have shingles replaced, and they got me installed in mid-November.

27 panels, took 2 days to install.

We went with revision energy for a 20Kw array, 2 heatpumps, and a new basement subpanel. The were transparent, professional, and a general pleasure to work with. The only real frustrations we experienced were out of their control, supply chain stuff.

We used Maine Solar Solutions and highly recommend them. We chose them over Pine Tree Solar from the two quotes that we had. I've also heard good things about ReVision Energy and Assured Solar Energy but ReVision was too busy to even give me an estimate when we were in the planning phase and I learned about Assured Solar Energy after we were under contract.

Was referred to Maine Solar Solutions for 11Kw setup with 23 panels and 2 Tesla Powerwalls. Very happy with the entire process from sales, proposal, implementation/install, and post checkup. They facilitated all the paperwork with the city and helped guide me on what to do with CMP. I've heard neutral things about ReVision at best.

I also used Revision for 23 panel install. Started the process in May, installed in October in Saco. I dealt with Portland location. They were great to deal with. Very transparent in the process and open to all questions. When I ran into issues with CMP approval, they were very open about what was going on, what they were doing with it, and what potential impacts to the project. I do know that they are extremely busy and I believe they are booked out into mid-year 2023 already.

We used ReVision as well and they installed quickly and were great. Their costumer service after the install has not been fantastic (opposed to before the install). We had problems with our Inverter, and because I think that is rare, they didn’t really seem like they had the tools to respond efficiently. Their Service team had pretty poor communication skills and didn’t bring the equipment on one visit. I honestly don’t think they usually have to deal with service visits. If I had to do it all over, I would still go with them though!

I also loved Revision's professionalism and installation. However, I did raise a question about my water pressure to customer service. When the sun is shining and I am using my generated energy my water pressure is very low...I can't run a sprinkler. Then, as soon as the sun sets the pressure is back to normal. Revision told me I must have a plumbing issue and wouldn't expand the discussion.

Another guy that had Revision here. Took 2 days to install 30 panels, the whole process was very easy. Communication was very good and timely, and the process of working with CMP via them was very straightforward.

I’ve had both ReVison and Maine Solar Solutions do installs, and I highly recommend either of them!

We went with Maine Solar Solutions. They were friendly and communicated well. Crew was very nice and cleaned up after themselves. No issues so far (knock on wood), but we are happy.

Yes I am on a Well. I have a theory the well pump doesn't get enough juice when using solar energy, but Revision disagrees. I know there shouldn't be a difference and I understand Revision's stance, but damn, big difference between night and day.

That was my guess too. I don't know enough about the install to trouble shoot over reddit and I don't want to ask you 100 questions, but your theory tracks.

The biggest thing I would wonder is if your pump is configured for 220v and now it's only getting 120v when the solar kicks in.

Maine Solar Solutions was great for us. We did a large ground-mount system. Also got a quote from Revision but Maine Solar's was better, and also Revision was kinda trying to shoehorn us into a roof-mounted system that just isn't efficient for our location and house orientation.
