ACCREDITATION

Because quality matters

In order to help maintain our position as a leader in the market, we have joined forces with many organizations that focus on solar policy as well as installation quality. Some of these nonprofit and commercial solar companies include the International Association of Electrical Inspectors (IAEI), Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Illinois Solar Energy Association (ISEA).

OUR VISION

We are Revolutionizing the industry

We founded Revolution Solar because we believe the Solar Industry lacks the quality and leadership its clients deserve.  We strive on extensive training of Field Personnel with a razor-sharp focus on the quality and efficiency of the installations.

Additionally, being that the Leadership Team has worked for several other larger companies, we understand that the Field Personnel are often taken advantage of.  We believe in fair employment and reasonable work shifts to allow the employee time to be home with their families and loved ones. We are “Revolutionizing” the industry.

Christopher O’Keefe
Field Operations Manager
Christopher began his career in 2011 when he left his hometown to install solar with a well-known provider.  Christopher quickly caught on to the installation methods and became experienced enough to get promoted to Crew Lead.  As the company grew there was a demand for experienced personnel to support a hotline that installers throughout the country could call and ask questions regarding their specific installations.  Christopher was promoted into this hotline as Installation Quality Technician and through his efforts was eventually promoted to the Supervisor of the Installation Support Hotline.  In this role he helped develop industry best practices in installation and quality.  Christopher recognized the growth in the Illinois market and decided to move home to continue his career as Field Operations Manager for Revolution Energy Systems, Inc.
