The Bad
- Not Residential Focused
- Unclear Service Locations
Not Residential Focused
In Blue Horizon Energy’s beginning days, the company focused on small businesses and home solar. Currently, the company specializes in bigger, more complex community and commercial projects. If clients are in need of residential solar installations, another local company would be a better fit. However, if a client is in need of a commercial or community project, Blue Horizon Energy is a quality candidate.
Unclear Service Locations
Blue Horizon Energy has offices in both Minnesota and Iowa. The company’s website claims to serve all of the Midwest. However, all of the past projects on the company’s website are in Minnesota areas. It’s unclear if clients outside Minnesota or Iowa office areas can receive Blue Horizon Energy’s services.
The Bottom Line
Blue Horizon Energy is a well-established, successful solar company, based in Minnesota and Iowa. The company has impressive experience in agriculture, community, and commercial projects. However, the company does not specialize in residential solar installations.
Each project, no matter the type, includes quality, top-industry products from the best brands. Clients in need of a more complex, large-scale project, Blue Horizon Energy has the means and experience for a successful installation. If clients are in need of simple, residential installations, other local solar companies should also be considered.
