Joseph Hawk Charlotte, NC

I’m completely unimpressed and angry with Blue Raven Solar. The entire process has been painful and disappointing. First, the sales: Sales guy was good. Made the entire thing seem very attractive. We expressed our concerns with our roof, as it is aging and asked if we should get it replaced before installation. “No need we can take the panels down, and put them back up with no problem.” So we agreed to the initial check to see how many panels we would need and to concept it out. I will admit my wife and I did take a long time to decide, as it is a big financial decision to do this. Meanwhile they hounded us. HOUNDED US. Finally, they threatened us with a bill of $1200 to cancel... gotta read that fine print people... We told them to calm down and moved forward. We got the panels installed in February, and finally got them turned on in March. In April we started getting some minor leaks in our roof over our sun room (this is the area they carried the panels up for installation). We called a roofing company to assess. They let us know there was some wind damage from storms and minor damage from the installation of the panels. Started the process of getting a new roof. Called Blue Raven about taking the panels down to replace the roof, as the sales rep told us it wouldn't be an issue. They inform me it would be $4895.00 to take the panels down and put them back up after the roof is replaced. AN ADDITIONAL FIVE GRAND, TWO MONTHS AFTER INSTALLATION. Fine. We literally have no choice now. We paid the first half ($2400) and scheduled them to come out on May 15th (today, Friday)... scheduled the roofing company to come out on Monday (May 18th). Shingles were delivered this morning. Blue Raven still hasn’t shown up. No call, email, text... nothing. I called the Charlotte office to find out what's going on, and they transferred me to the Utah office... the customer service rep told me the one team they have for this area can’t make it out today, and they need to reschedule... a week and a half later. “It’s the only possible time we can make it there. We have other projects we CAN'T reschedule.” Oh I see. Your company has failed on all accounts to meet it's responsibilities for the date you scheduled the project for and all I get is a “Sorry for the inconvenience”. We paid $2400 so far and we cant even get a courtesy call.. or proper planning.. or proper customer service. To the prospective customers out there, do yourself a favor, before you get solar panels, get your roof done first. And don’t call these guys. The product is good, it’s the company that’s lacking.

Joshua Popper ,

Blue Raven Solar is a SCAM. First, they drew out the process for about 9 months (total incompetence) until my solar panels were providing energy. Then, conveniently, the system didn't report to Comed how much evergy the solar panels produced on the first bill. They said it was fixed, but the second bill was about the same as a winter electric bill from comed, despite generating lots of electricity. Basically, I'm paying the same electric bill plus the monthly payment for the Solar panels. So far, they are telling me that I'm using more electricity than I used last year which is impossible. My last real Comed bill was regular with no spike in electricity usage. Nothing changed. I'm looking into what I can do to get this fixed.

Hi Joshua, I was able to take a look into your account. It looks like you were energized at the end of December and your system is producing right where we estimated. On average, it takes 3 months before our customers see a change in their utility bills. If you have any other questions about your energy usage please email me at reviews@blueravensolarcom.

christian correa Salem, OR

I know many have a good experience with this company. I was not fortunate enough to be one of those people. Watch out for certain sales people’s sales tactics from this company. I was straight up lied to by their Salem, OR sales rep on purchasing a system that was not at all what the rep said it was. He repeated over and over I would be exchanging my power bill for my solar bill. What he did not tell us was how those assumed numbers are calculated. Now I’m stuck with two bills, paying significantly more overall than when I just had a power bill. The company would not accept ownership of their sleazy sales persons tactics and I got burned as the end consumer.

Hi Christian, we appreciate the feedback and have forwarded your comments to our sales team. We are sorry that the power offsets were not explained better by the sales rep.

Misleading and deceptive sale practice. The sale guy will present to you a system that they said is designed to offset your last 12 month average usage with your electric company, but then on the contract they only list like 60% of what you used in term of kilowatt. Before you go with them, make sure you add up your last 12 month kilowatt usage with electric company and match it to your contract. They tell you that LED lights and Ecobee will reduce your energy consumption by 40% that is why they design a system that will produce 60% of what you need. Don't buy this BS. If you can cut 40% of your usage by going LED and Ecobee, why would you buy their system that cost so much? LED and Ecobee cost less than $300. There is no saving by going solar with them. They overcharge their system. Make sure you don't sign anything with them upfront, and get at least 3 quotes from other contractors. I am looking for attorney to sue them!!

Hi there Nary,

I’d like to apologize for any miscommunication during the sales process. This does not, however, change the fact that all information needed to make a fully informed decision on whether or not to go solar was included in the proposal and installation agreement you signed.

The difference that you’re seeing is the energy-saving thermostat and LED bulbs that we include as a way to reduce the amount of panels you need to buy to cover your usage. The purpose of this addition is simply to keep the cost for you, the customer, low by reducing your reliance on electricity. Less energy spent means less panels needed means lower cost to go solar for you. It also means a smaller sale for us, but as we’re in the business of providing homeowners across America with a simple and affordable way to get the best solar technology. Plain and simple.

As for satisfaction of our customers, with over ten thousand installed customers and an average review score of 4.4 across the internet, people seem to be pretty happy with our service. We’re happy to chat anytime about any questions you may have.

John Smithfield, NC

We were relatively happy with the process through installation but it has gone downhill since then. Our gutter was damaged during the process and, to date (over a month later), has not been replaced. Blue Raven has sent two different "handymen" out who can't fix it. We have continuous spouting on our house. You can't just go to Lowes, buy a couple of pieces and stick them together. It has to be done by a continuous spouting installer. That, however, is the least of our problems. Our panels worked for approximately two days after initiation then stopped abruptly. Our last reported data was over two days ago. We have been calling but cannot get someone out until next week to look at it. If I had to guess, I think the second "handyman", who we had to supply with tools, may have damaged the electrical lines when he was attempting to repair the damaged drywall. For some reason he turned a breaker on in our electrical box that is normally off. Maybe because he experienced an arc? Even though it appears the panels are producing energy, we have no power from the panels to the box and a bunch of useless panels on our roof. Sure wish I hadn't already paid the second half of the bill. UPDATE: Someone did finally come to check out our problem. When the drywall was removed, we found singed insulation and a wire that had been damaged , probably by the drywall saw or utility knife used by the handyman. The Blue Raven guy told us he would come back in another week and actually repair it. So, still no active solar system but glad it didn't burn our house down with us in it. UPDATE: It took three weeks but we seem to be back up and running finally. Now we just need some sunshine.

I am new to the solar experience. I decided to go solar through a Blue Raven door to door salesman, which I’m sorry I didn’t check into solar more thoroughly before I bought. Blue Raven as far as I can see is a reputable company with sincere installers. I’m not sure that I feel that way about their sales staff. I am disappointed in the sales pitch and feel I was oversold with the system that I received. I don’t think I was fully informed about the possible options that were available to me but convinced in taking the larger system, which I’ve now discovered, wasn’t necessary. I’m sorry to say that this experience has left me with the same old story of taking advantage of a woman.

Hi Evan, I am not happy with our solar production right now. I believe the engineer placed the solar panels in a poor place not very conducive to receive solar energy right in front of the tree that places shade on the solar panels a great part of the day.

Hi there Stacey,

Thanks for leaving a review. When we design the panel layout, there are many factors such as structural support, roof pitch, shading, and location on the roof which affect production. We factor this all in when we design the system and it looks like you are consistently meeting and exceeding our estimates. If you'd like, you could send your utility bills into support so we could assess your new utility usage. Thanks for reaching out!

Well first off it took 7 months for them to turn it on, normally it should take 3 or 4 months, and the sales man never mention a connection fee from duke power. All he said was you will only get 1 bill , pretty much a bill swap, he average my utility bill for the year and said that's what you be paying , ok cool well that's a no brainer sure I will do it, well didn't know the connection fee would be almost $20 a month, so right off the bat your going to be paying $20 more a month than if you never got solar, and then they didn't install enough solar panels because they didn't calculate it right, and they say it was the sales man and my fault cause it wasn't calculated right because I didn't tell them I had a programmable thermostat , really how did I know that, they gave us a programmable thermostat when panels was installed and the installers were like ,oh you already have one, well I will leave it with anyway, either I have been getting utility bills around $70 a month. It just been a headache, I talk to one of the head people and they said we can put more panels on to off set the cost but you will have to pay for it, umm no I am not, they pretty much said oh well, so pretty much I have been praying for a sunny month , cause if it been cloudy well your going to pay for it, plus don't add anything to your house like a hot tub, more people living with you, another building with a shed or anything that have to do with electricity, cause if I knew right from the start there was a connection fee I would say no, I was trying to save money now I am losing alot of money, plus talk to someone in my neighborhood who has solar and he said that I got RIPPED off, cause his system cost the same as mine but his is almost twice as big

Chris – We understand that this has been a frustrating experience. To try and remedy the situation our director of operations has been in contact with you and offered adding panels at cost. Regarding the quality of your installed system, since this last April, your system has produced 97% of the expected production. You’re seeing a discrepancy in production vs. power bill in part because of the smart thermostat energy reduction that we had included for your system proposal. This energy reduction was a full half page of detail on your system’s bid. We didn’t realize you already had a smart thermostat and as such, you’re not seeing this reduction in consumption. Additionally, your home has a unique pattern of usage that has resulted in your utility company’s annual credit clearing to be particularly impactful on your accrued energy credits. We have offered discounted panels to help remedy the impact of Duke Energy’s clearing policy, but you have denied the offer. If you would like to add panels, our director of operations has offered again to work with you on a pricing structure that works for your unique circumstances. Regardless, with the ever-increasing price of power from Duke, going solar will save you a considerable amount of money. If you would like to discuss adding additional panels, please let us know. We recognize that your situation is unique and would be happy to help make the short-term savings as beneficial as the long term.

Linda J Denver, CO

Just a heads-up if you're looking into solar- AVOID BLUE RAVEN SOLAR!!!! We were looking forward to having solar installed in our new home. Save the environment- save money- you know... We've had our system for less than a year, and it went down in July of this year. When we purchased the system, we were informed that Blue Raven would monitor the system. Yet, they NEVER LET US KNOW IT WAS DOWN- for TWO MONTHS!!! We got over $400 in unexpected electric bills, and we are STILL are having issues with the production of the system. I've called them SIX times this week to speak to a supervisor. I have yet to speak with someone OTHER than a CSR. Their supervisors are either in meetings or never call you back. Sad and pathetic. BE CAREFUL. THEY WON'T MONITOR YOUR SYSTEM!!!! The CSR will say it was an ' unfortunate miscommunication' when in reality it was outright deception, via training of the staff. They essentially leave you on the side of the road after installation. Another thing- When they had us 'okay' the install, they asked if the placement of the panels was alright. We aren't engineers- it looked fine. Over the winter, we had several instances where the snow slides off of the panels onto our front sidewalk & porch. When I asked if there was anything that could be done before it slides ON to someone & hurts them, they said that it would cost us $$$. It's THEIR install issue. When the snow slides off & injures someone, I'm SURE they'll be hearing from my insurance company & their attorneys. We covered our butt when we were told they wouldn't fix the issue, so the insurance company IS aware of the potential for injury & have photos & copies of our contract w/install photos, as well. Folks, there are MANY other companies that install solar. Avoid the headache & go with them.

Hey Linda,

I'd love to address some of the complaints you raised in your review. First, I have to ask, what could we possibly gain from your system being down? We have everything to lose, including the money that we gave you for the time your panels were down and free labor and parts used to fix your panels.

If your system is down and you notify us, we will put you on the schedule and one of our techs will come and fix it for you as soon as they are available. You bought thousands of dollars of solar panels, and you are the sole owner and proprietor of said panels. In the contract you signed, you agreed that you would operate and maintain your own property. Nowhere in the agreement did we say that we would provide consistent, daily monitoring, but as a courtesy to our customers, we manually check your production at the 6, 12, and 18 month milestones. We also affirmed this in a call with our support in which we asked you if the rep had promised you anything outside of the scope of the installation agreement. You replied that they had not.

I'd love also love to know on what evidence you are basing your claims that we "train" our staff to lie to customers. That doesn't sound like very sustainable business practice, and it is certainly not one that Blue Raven participates in.

Another thing, we place panels so that they will generate the most power from your home. They were not installed there by accident, and we know what we're doing when it comes to making sure that your panels are as efficient as possible.

We're sorry that you feel like you had a negative experience with Blue Raven, and we are willing to work with you to resolve concerns you may have, but it is my job to ensure that BRS is accurately represented online. Feel free to reach out to me at to chat some more.

Cooling system works optimum. House is always cool. Monthly bill is lower for usage. No complaints with Blue Raven, the company. Able to correspond and they are helpful.

I've been horribly frustrated with the lack of communication with this company. First, they no-showed at the sales appointment (my first warning sign). I gave them the benefit of the doubt and let the guy reschedule when he called me 2 days later. I wound up going with these guys, and the actual physical installation of the panels themselves, went great, as did the paperwork. But then the electrician no-showed 2 times! Later found out it was a "scheduling issue" with the Utah office (I'm in Colorado), and the contract electrician they use was on vacation. Might want to check that next time I take 2 days off work to be home and your guy no-shows. Then it's time for the inspection. So again, I take time off to be there when the BRS inspector comes, and is supposed to meet the city inspector for sign off. The City inspector doesn't confirm the appointment, but they schedule it anyway. The City inspector doesn't come because they NEVER had the Rough-in Inspection done. They told me they worked that out over the phone with the city, but apparently not, because 2 weeks later, I still have no final inspection, no equipment from the power company installed to convert the power to the grid. I've had solar panels on my roof for over a month and not earning a thing from them. Sales rep tells me 11 days ago and I quote "this is extremely frustrating. I'll have my account manager reach out to you ASAP". (I have it in a text from him). That was September 5th at 3:23 pm. Today is September 16th. BRS, come finish this thing in the next 2 days, or I'm going to take all of your stuff off my roof, cancel the deal and you can come pick it up. I feel bad for your panel installers. Those guys were actually great -- on time, professional and did their job quickly and efficiently. The electrician, when he showed up, was good and professional as well. Your internal scheduling team, and communication with your customers sucks something awful. I'm hoping someone from BRS sees this and reaches out, because they're not returning my calls or texts. I should have gone with SunRun.

Hey there Tom,

There have obviously been some pretty significant issues. We want to make them right! Our Inspections manager called you yesterday to talk about what we are going to do, but was only able to leave a voicemail. Please give us a call and we can work this out. Thank you, and we look forward to hearing from you.

Best,

So far the only good thing about Blue Raven is the installers were very nice. Horrible customer service and non existent communication with any of the process or to schedule the next step unless I, the customer call them and ask what's next. For as much money as they get from each customer I expected a business that knew how to run properly. Ont of all that it was 10 days of me calling to ask when I can turn on my system after the electrician finished. Never got any call back when I was promised they'd look into to just to be told I could've switched it on 10 days prior and they finally sent instructions. Ok fine once again frustrated but ok finally. Well no I called right back when they website said it didn't recognize me to have a system. Was told on a Friday i would get a call first thing Monday. Surprise, NO CALL. Here we are Wednesday and 15 days now of days my system should've been working. Well finally someone figured out the account was mixed with someone else in the area. Apparently names and pictures and serial numbes were all duplicates on two accounts. Are you kidding me??? I wasn't given any answers as to where all the energy we've accumulated will go since it's being mixed with a whole other system. Absolutely worst experience and if the panels were already installed I would walk away. Don't CHOOSE BLUE RAVEN if you expect anything to be done right.

Hi there Marisol,

I love my solar system! From day one, it has been everything they told me it would be! I have passed on the information to friends. My electric bills have decreased by 90%!
