Revity Energy

What Revity Energy does

Revity Energy is a privately held, Rhode Island–focused community solar developer operating as a fully integrated owner-operator across the project lifecycle. The company identifies underutilized or brownfield land in partnership with municipalities and private landowners, secures permitting and approvals, finances and constructs solar generation assets, and retains long-term operational and financial responsibility through in-house asset management. It serves three primary customer segments: Rhode Island municipalities seeking local energy generation and tax revenue, commercial businesses pursuing electricity cost reduction and sustainability goals, and institutions (healthcare, education) participating in the state's Virtual Net Metering (VNM) program.

The company's technology stack centers on utility-scale and community-scale solar photovoltaic systems using tier-1 vendor equipment, paired with full in-house EPC execution — Revity acts as its own electrical contractor with full-time electricians on staff and supplements with union subcontract labor (IBEW Local 99). Differentiated capabilities include brownfield remediation expertise (most notably the 26-acre James P. Murphy Highway site in West Warwick) and integration of development, construction, and asset management under one operator, eliminating principal-agent friction common to fragmented solar developers. Capacity spans from sub-2 MW community sites (A Street 1, Smithfield Road Landfill) to utility-scale assets exceeding 55 MW DC (Robin Hollow).

Revity's revenue model blends project-based and recurring streams: one-time development and EPC fees tied to new construction milestones, long-term asset management contracts on retained assets, and recurring virtual net metering credits sold to commercial and institutional off-takers such as Citizens Bank, University Orthopedics, and DiSanto, Priest & Co. The company is privately held with no disclosed outside equity; senior leadership is concentrated within the Palumbo family, including President Ralph Palumbo and operational leads Kyle, Ryan, and Corey Palumbo. Major financial partners include Seminole Financial Services and Blackstone Credit, which co-financed a 55 MW project in 2023.

Core offering

Revity Energy develops, builds, and operates large-scale solar photovoltaic power facilities for Rhode Island municipalities, businesses, and institutions. The company delivers an integrated value chain covering site identification and permitting, full engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) with in-house electrical crews, long-term asset management and monitoring, and Virtual Net Metering program facilitation that lets commercial and institutional customers offtake the generated electricity.

Product overview

Revity Energy offers end-to-end solar energy development services through three integrated core products: Development Services (identifying suitable land and managing permitting), Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) services (managing the full construction process as a fully integrated contractor), and Asset Management (ongoing operations, maintenance, and financial oversight). The company also facilitates participation in Rhode Island's Virtual Net Metering program. This unified service approach takes projects from idea conception through shovel-ready development, construction, and long-term facility stewardship.
