Blue Raven Solar Reviews

From the first contact with the young gentleman who knocked on my door, to the salesperson, to the install crew, to the inspectors, I felt listened to and respected all along the way. They explained things to me in ways that helped me to understand what I was getting, which I believe I got. The employees of Blue Raven Solar are courteous, professional, and safe.

Blue Raven Solar was transparent and trustworthy from start to finish with our residential solar system. They kept all promises regarding work time frames, fees, service, and product quality. They have contacted me regularly since our installation to verify that our system is working properly and to answer any questions I might have. I found all aspects of the work done by Blue Raven to be done professionally. I've been very satisfied with my final product.

Steve explained everything to us. We felt he was honest and informative. Any questions we have ever had he would answer promptly. He helped get us through the HOA paperwork. The worst part of the whole process was getting through our HOA. That was the HOA’s incompetence, and had nothing to do with Blue Raven.

They are informative, prompt, have attention to detail, and do what they say they will when they say they will. They make the process as easy as they possible can. All of the employees I've had contact with were unfailingly polite.

I totally recommend Blue Raven Solar. All the employees are friendly and very knowledgeable about solar. The installers were very clean. I Love the look of their panels and I really love that I am getting energy from the sun.

It works exactly like it is supposed to..The salesman was not pushy and answered every question I had.since the solar was installed I get two invoices from Xcel Energy, gas and electricity. The gas bill is normal, the electric bill has been $0.00 for the past year..

From the beginning initial design, through final design and installation, Blue Raven was excellent. The actual installation was a joy to watch. There was one oops during the Village Inspection but Blue Raven was on top of it and came through.

Blue Raven was attentive, thorough, and had great communication. In addition, they had some awesome incentives for me to sign up when I did, and my neighbors were able to get in on it also, providing me with a referral bonus. Thanks BR!

Good customer service. Fair price. Relatively painless process. Installation was fast. Minor damage to house was resolved quickly.

Blue Raven worked closely with us to finalize the design concept, and provided detailed and essential information that provided the basis for our decision to proceed. Installation was timely and efficient. However system startup was delayed due to a change order in our contract that was determined necessary when the installation team found it had to reduce the number of solar panels due to space restrictions on our roof.

They are very good, but two items caused the 4 vs 5 star. First the plan was to get the system installed in 2019 to get the full tax credit, and it did not go on till Feb 2020. Second, they had to come back out as two of the three panels were not producing. It was an easy fix once they found it (loose wire connection), but it should have worked the first time.

All the people we worked with while getting our solar system were first rate & very helpful. We never had any questions about the process & everything went smoothly . We have enjoyed everything about our Blue Raven solar system especially the lower energy bills.

Blue Raven Solar is a great company. They gave me in detail how solar panels would benefit me, they are always available for answers to your questions. They are very kind as well.

While the system seems to be working well enough now, I had several issues on the initial set up. I had my electrical panel upgraded before getting my solar panels. After Blue Raven came to hook up my solar system my newly upgraded electrical panel was left in such poor condition by Blue Raven, that the lid barely closed. In the process they managed to also loosen other connections and several months later I had to call in an independent electrician in order to find out what was going on. I really wanted to love Blue Raven and write them a good review, but I there were numerous times when I had to follow up with them just to get the basics taken care of. They tried to be very helpful on the phone, but the actual service I received wasn't to the level of what I felt it could be.

I am happy with Blue Raven Solar however I am waiting until I have had the Solar panels on for a full year to see if I am in fact generating the 105% power that Blue Raven Solar says I should generate. However so far I haven't generated that much power.

We wish we never purchased the solar panels and that we shopped around a little more. Blue Raven didn't put the panels on according to the document that we signed. Their customer service was really frustrating as we tried to get the issue corrected. The panels cause snow to build up on the roof and it is extremely difficult and dangerous to shovel off. They finally informed us that they would fix it in the spring. However, to install the solar panels they had to put holes in the roof and to move them would weaken the roof. So honestly we don't know what to do and are to frustrated to go through customer service again. However, I give them 2 stars because the panels are working as guaranteed.

We were sold that this would be a swap of bills. Trading out the power bill for the solar loan, but we have not even come close to doing a 1-1 swap. Instead we are paying a high power bill along with the solar loan payment. This is NOT what we were sold. We even had them add 2 extra panels Incase the original quote wouldn't be sufficient- due to our circumstances and knowing we would likely use a lot of power.

I have not been completely satisfied with the service of the panels. The energy bill for the summer is way too high and I'm not happy with the solar panel output for the demand of cooling needs. I moved my thermostat from 73 degrees to 75 and my bill still soared to nearly $200. I have 36 panels and I can't understand why they can't support the needs of my home when so much sunlight is beating down on the panels which should be able to keep up with the energy needs for cooling. At this point I'm not happy with energy shortages the panels are producing.

The whole process from start to finish was amazing. Everyone kept in close contact at every step of the process and now that I've had the system for a while I couldn't more pleased.

Outstanding service. From start to finish the salesman kept us informed on how the progress was going.The installers were very professional and clean. We are definitely pleased with the performance of the system.

enjoyed working with sales rep, Mike F, he answered and explained every questions and kept us in contact with the progress of the solar. Also, the install people were professional and easy going

We have had 2 major issues since we added our panels that have cost us money. both issues stemming from the install of our system. the first issue was addressed. the more recent issue i have not heard back from anyone. the system went down due to a mis-use of fuse when built. so for a month we were not producing power. i have now had 2 bills equaling $178 and feel we should get some form of compensation as this was the mistake of the install. So we paid double for the panels themselves and 2 months of power from duke. overall i had recommended this company to friends, but with these 2 major issues, i am not as confident to do so. I do feel this is a small item to compensate us for based on the error of the install.

Delivered what they promised. They were professional, punctual and every step of the process was enjoyable. I don't do a lot of reviews but Blue Raven was very deserving of my 5 star review.

We compared several solar companies (Tigard, OR) and went with BR because of their experience and competitive price. Sometimes the automated corporate messaging felt a little "pushy" but our salesperson Richard was nothing but responsive, kind, and helpful. Panels were installed as expected and I appreciated that BR handled approval arrangements with PGE, the county, etc.

We installed the Blue Raven solar system in our home in Apex, NC. The project manager Daniel explained the process nicely and suggested the power required to meet our usage. Daniel follows up on everything to get it done. The project manager helped to get the necessary permissions from HOA and Apex town. The installation team arrived quickly and installed the panels nicely according to the design. The member of the Blue Raven inspection team  Tyler B inspected the installation along with the town inspector. Tyler is an awesome guy who explained the wiring and switching nicely. The good thing about Raven Solar system is that easy to get the finance to install the solar on your roof. I recommend Blue Raven as your solar system provider.

Our experience has been great. All that they promised has been delivered. I did my research before going with Blue Raven they offered the best type of solar panels for my home. The longest part has been waiting on electric company to switch out the meter and having to figure out why it wouldn’t connect to the system, Once I contacted Blue Raven they had a person on it asap. Blue Raven has their own employees and install all the equipment, so no third parties to deal with and by far had the best interest rates for financing. Every time I had a question someone would call & or text giving name and phone number to take care of the issue. I'm glad we picked them. If anything changes I will come back with updates.

So far my experience with Blue Raven Solar has been stellar! To begin with, their sales rep, Justin Cox, was a pleasure to work with. He was very personable and knowledgeable. We had a couple of sessions to review proposals and talk about expectations before we were both satisfied with the end product. Once the proposal was finalized the Blue Raven team went to work on permitting and scheduling. That process went smoothly as far as I could tell. When I spoke with the county on another matter I shared with them information on my solar project and was pleased to hear them comment that Blue Raven was one of the best solar system providers they had dealt with! On the appointed day for our installation there were two pallets of materials dropped off at the curb around 7:00 am - precisely as I had been told to expect. At daybreak my installation crew showed up. Jay, Chance, and Toby started right in laying out the equipment and preparing the site for installation. This crew wasted no time and did not cut any corners. We had a beautiful day and they were determined to make the best of it! By the end of the day all of the panels were up and trimmed, the wiring was run, and the electrical panels and interfaces were in place! The job site (my yard and driveway) were left absolutely spotless. There were a couple of final connections, a system software update, and system run tests that needed to be taken care of the next day and Jay and Chance showed up as promised to finish up. The next step in the process will be a state inspection and approval. That got scheduled for the next day and if all goes well, Idaho Power will be out in a matter of days to install a new net meter, run their system and connection tests, and throw the final switch to energize the system. I am extremely pleased as Blue Raven has met and exceeded my expectations. I have no doubt that the system will also perform as expected or better. I have no concerns about future support if required.

We have had a great experience with Blue Raven from the beginning— from our sales rep, Greg M to the crew that installed the solar, Ricky, and the master electrician, Daxton. Ricky was the installation crew boss and he was so on top of things. He let us know every step of the process as to where they were. He informed us of any hiccups and how it would be taken care of. For example, he had to do some structural work in our attic because the beams were uneven and wouldn’t hold the solar panels correctly. While in our attic he found a potentially dangerous situation with an outlet pipe. He took a picture and sent it to us so we could get it repaired. The crew stayed until after 6 pm to finish the job. The crew was considerate, hard working, and professional. The master electrician, Daxton, stayed until after dark to complete his part and explained what was done and what would happen next with the city. It was a great experience and I would recommend them.

Blue Raven Solar review. The solar panel installation process of adding the panels to the roof and the electrical components to the house electrical system took about six to seven hours, that was the expected time frame. The installation teams for Jordan and Dexter, worked well together; solar panels installers, mechanical team and the electrician. The entire team were professional and respectful to the family during the installation process. Also, they answered our questions during the process. The construction and waste material was cleaned up during and after the installation was completed. We are very pleased with the team and the installation process.

Installation and Inspection Review: This is a review of the installation and inspection process. After anxiously awaiting the installation of our system (which was delayed due to city permitting taking a long time) the crew arrived on time in the morning. I met with each member of the team and showed them the access to the attic, electric panel and service. From that point on it was just a matter of them completing the install (22 panels) which was completed around mid-afternoon. The team members were all very nice I have absolutely no complaints about them or their work. They cleaned up after themselves and there was no evidence of them being here other than the beautiful new arrays on my roof! I apologize for not remembering everyone's name, but I know that Patrick and Dakota were two of the team members. From a corporate standpoint I wish that Blue Raven would have given each team member Blue Raven Logo t-shirts that would have shown clearly that these are in fact Blue Raven Certified installers. The next day I was contacted to schedule the inspection for two days later (only 3 days after the installation!) which I was thrilled about. Jacob (Jake) was the Blue Raven operations tech who worked with the city inspector. Jake arrived early to confirm the installation and have everything prepped for the inspector. He was very diligent in helping me to understand my system and what to expect next. He took extra time to answer all of my questions and was great to work with! Overall, every associate with Blue Raven that I have worked with from initial knock on my door until now has been a pleasure to speak with. While I give the process so far 5 stars, I considered going less only because there is no regular communication on status of the approval process prior to install. I really wish that there was a Blue Raven app that I could log into to see the status of my project with details on what is happening and what steps are next and what I should expect, actions I need to take, etc. As it was the only way that I knew what was going on after signing the contract was to reach out to our sales person and ask what the status was. I really expected more of a transparent process which I wanted to share with my family and neighbors. I really think that if there was an app that I could show them, it would have been instrumental in getting them to trust Blue Raven and sign up as well. My next steps? Wait for the power company to swap out my meter with one compliant for solar production, get a final inspection from Jake, and ready to start producing power and saving money. I look at it like this - if I were to tell you that you don't have to do anything about how you use electricity, and I am going to give you money each month just to continue life as normal... would you do it? Of course you would and that is why I did and eventually why most will.

Blue Raven made the process of going solar at our home quick and easy. Our representative, Matt, explained the process in detail, helped us with all the paperwork and worked with the county to get us permitted. The 25-year warranty was a definite plus. An inspection was done by Brian at Blue Raven of our roof, attic area and electrical panel ahead of the installation so that all would proceed properly. The permitting process went quickly in our county. Blue Raven's install crew led by Juan was efficient and the final product looks great. This was especially important as the panels were installed on the front of our roof. We look forward now to final inspections and then to producing our own electrical power.

I'm sure I was a difficult sale. I'll say that from the beginning. I pushed back and questioned the sales rep (Izz) about the products. Izz even had to send me a couple additional quotes for things after our first meeting. Izz was great though, and answered all my questions and concerns. Blue Raven worked with our HOA and county to get approvals for the project. We did not have to do anything! Super easy and convenient! The installation was FAST! Not even a full day to install the panels and connect two new thermostats! If you are looking for a solar company, check out Blue Raven. They have excellent reviews from experts as well as customers. Get a quote and see how they compare. Remember, you haven't bought anything until you sign on the dotted line. I'm glad I did. Now if only we can figure out sustainable and renewable water....

Ok...I NEVER give reviews, but I was compelled to write this one because of my experience. I interviewed 4 different Solar companies before deciding on Blue Raven, and Andrew U-J was a BIG part of that decision. He taught me everything I needed to know...+ more (LOL)...about going Solar. When interviewing other companies, they were not as forthcoming with information, even when asked, and it made me trust them less....and Andrew more. The process was painless, all I had to do was ask questions, Andrew found me financing, had my roof inspected, made sure any documents were signed and sent in, and had all my permits done. All I had to do was decide I wanted them, he did everything else. It would have gone faster had I not interviewed other companies, so I'll count from the day I made the decion to move forward to installation day was 35 days. On the day of installation, a couple guys arrived early, and started EXACTLY on time! 8am! My team, Noah. Charles, Ryan, and Jeff were all happy, excited to work, but playful and engaging. They started up some music and got right to work and the panels arrived by 8:20am! Andrew also came by to talk me through the process and help me inspect the materials to make sure they were Grade A. They let me take pictures of them and I found something amazing! There was cardboard separating the corners of the panels, on the cardboard was written different phrases, 1. A drawing of the moon, a star and a pyramid, 2. Love, Truth, Peace, Freedom, Justice and 3. 21 bricks in the pyramid...it felt very spiritual. Everything about the process was enjoyable. I was told they would be done by 5pm, but guess what!...they were done, cleaned up, packed up and pulling off at 12:00pm...so 4 hours...AMAZING!!! Thank you Andrew, Noah. Charles, Ryan, & Jeff!

My experience with Blue Raven Solar was very positive and I highly recommend them to be your solar installation company. Their knowledgeable sales force and experienced technical design team worked with me to create a solar panel system for my home and it will provide ample electricity all year long. The installation team was professional and efficient. In five hours the high quality panels were attached to my roof and connected to the breaker box. The system is ready to generate electricity and eliminate my monthly electrical bill. I now feel like I am part of the solution to dependence on fossil fuels.

From start to finish, we received the most accurate information. Our contractors were personable, helpful, professional., answered all our questions and listened to our expectations. We are thrilled! No batteries .. no problem! I’d rather get the bill from the energy provider knocked down to almost nothing without the hassle of batteries being stored on my property. We don’t need to worry about problems with storage or life spans! Not to mention the added expense up front. Thrilled is an understatement. We are going greener affordably. Best decision we ever made, best results from best company! Blue Raven Solar.. AWESOME! -Annamaria Morgado

From sales to installation Blue Raven has been great to work with. All my questions were answered quickly and professionally. Recently had some electrical work done and that other company wanted to replace the main panel. I asked Jonathan at Blue Raven if this was needed. He let me know that it was not and the panel was fine, he even shared the electrical plans that Blue Raven had submitted for permitting. They saved me from paying 7,000 to this other company! On the installation day the crew was on time and very knowledgeable and friendly. They worked quickly and did a wonderful job on the install. The final fit and finish looks amazing. Very happy with the results! I will be recommending them to all my friends and family.
