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.

Devon, Royal and Jose were punctual,
polite, and answered all my questions.
Unfortunately they were unable to complete the installation due to no fault of their own: the delivery of materials was incomplete and necessary items were still in Dallas, Texas. Also the new thermostat was not able to be installed. Jose said Blue Raven would have to send an HVAC Tech out to install the thermostat. (It had special wiring needs.) The install completion will be done either Friday afternoon or Saturday (today is Wednesday) when the materials come in from Dallas. Next an County inspector will look at everything. Next Duke Electric will come out and switch out the meter. Finally my sales guy Sean N will come out and walk me through the system and throw the master switch. Jose said I would not have to be present for the installation to be completed.

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....

Blue Raven was great the entire time they were at my house. The gentlemen worked extremely hard in the hot sun making sure they completed the job as well as they could. Their captain, Stanton, gave me a call the afternoon before and made good on their arrival time. He was very kind, well spoken, and patient with me as he showed me the plans and discussed what all was involved with the installation. Even when it came to what was needing to be done in the attic. He and his team worked very well together. Whenever they spoke it was always positive, mild, and laughing usually. Never negative, mean, nor any use of curse words. Didn’t have any loud music or anything but it they were consistently working. They finished in just a few hours. Stanton and his team were very precise in making sure the panels they installed matched with the plans he had shown me that morning. He even took pictures and showed me the panels that I could not see from the ground. Those were also a matching replica of the plans. Stanton’s team worked well and took care in cleaning up their mess once they had completed the job. Stanton and his guys did an amazing job at making sure I was taken care of, my system was installed correctly, and that there would be no leaks. A huge Thank you goes out to Stanton and his team as well as all of Blue Raven Solar

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.

Our experience with Blue Raven Solar has been very positive. Because the company brought additional install teams into the area, our installation date was moved up by about 45 days (Blue Raven even sent a $50 check as a thank you for accommodating a next day appointment). The installation team (all on loan from out of state) was excellent and expertly mounted the panels and inverters following the installation plan previously created by the design team. We are very pleased with the appearance of the panels, as well as the wiring to the fuse box and meter. Blue Raven has been very responsive and kept us well informed throughout the process. The installation has been inspected by the city and, we are are looking forward to soon turning on the power.

Their crew showed up right after the frost left the roof of our house. They got set up to install our solar system on the roof. They sounded like a bunch of woodpeckers working up there, getting each step of the work needed to be done. Everyone had a job to do and set out to do so, some on the roof, another installing the control box for the electrical. Another was in the crawl space under the roof pulling wires to the electrical box. They were very professional in their work and did not waste any time in doing the job. They cleaned up after their work was done, everything from the roof to the ground outside the house. They were a friendly bunch of guys and explained to me all that was for me to understand.

I can't remember being treated any better or experiencing the excellent customer service I have in Blue Raven Solar. From start to finish everyone was on time very conscientious of the jobs they were doing and did not leave until I was happy with every aspect of what they had done. The first people I talked to were door to door. Business like, very respectful and fun to talk with, letting me know the different steps I could expect and the experience I would have. If they hadn't been I would not have signed up for the initial appointment. Taylor was the gentleman to whom I had the great pleasure in meeting with next. Every company should strive for their employees to give the excellent customer service as I experienced with Taylor. Very bussiness like, very informative as well as kind, he was compassionate about the company he worked for, the service I was to experience and Very patient while he explained everything to me until I was satisfied in knowing and understanding all the information. He also followed up with every step of the way making sure I was having an excellent experience and that all went well. He also made the whole experience fun as well, thank you Taylor. Next was the gentlemen who delivered the panels. If I hadn't needed to sign for the delivery or express if I was happy where they put the panels, I wouldn't have known they were here. Before I knew it, the installers were here. Again they were very pleasant and informative. Cleaning up after themselves and making sure I was satisfied with their work.
I was, Very.
All in all, including the inspections it was only a couple of months from the time I signed my contract to the time that I am now up, running and tickled pink.
5 stars is the least this company and their employees should receive. Thank you Blue Raven Solar. You are the Best!

From beginning to end, we had a fantastic experience with Blue Raven. Every person we worked with was extremely profession and helped us feel at ease through the whole process. They worked with the city, fire marshal, our HOA and the electric company, all while maintaining communication with my wife and I to ensure we knew exactly how to set our timeline expectations. Even when there was an delay, the Blue Rave Solar installers adjusted the install time, finalizing the process over the weekend, this is how customer service should be done. Did I mention that the panels look great, I didnt expect them to add to the house but it's much classier than I expected. Thanks Jordan and everyone else that worked with us. We love our house even more now (which is saying a lot).

Our experience overall has been great. Blue Raven is efficient and good at what they do. We spoke with Ian on June 2nd, a plan was presented to us on June 4th, and installation happened on July 9th. We had options to install sooner, but our schedule did not allow it. They guarantee their work and monitor your productivity to make sure you produce what they said you should produce. They took care of everything including submitting all the paperwork to our HOA for approval. Installation with a 2 man crew took under 5 hours and they were polite, efficient, and informative. We are currently waiting on inspections so we can turn the system on and use it. They have a loan option to allow you to go solar without down payments. The loan is carried out for as long as the warranty on the panels, and there are no penalties for paying it off before the end of the loan.

From a knowledgeable solar consultant, to good communication with the company, to a great installation team I’ve been extremely happy with this entire experience. Any question I had was answered. I asked the installation team to accommodate my kids nap schedules and they did so happily. My system has not been turned on yet as I need to pass inspection but I’m excited to start using my system. And on the note of inspection, I was so happy that this company took care of the entire permit and inspection process for me! That is my lease favorite part to handle while dealing with improvements to my property.

I have only good things to say about the company, especially the technicians/installers. My installation was this June 19th 2020, in Wheaton Illinois. The whole process, from notifications, delivery of materials and installation was flawless. The crew was amazing, hard working, accommodating and polite, clean in every aspect, respectful of property, punctual and neat, organized and thoughtful, great experts in what they are doing! They worked steadily, finished the job in under 8hrs, actual project executed down to a tee, could make the most picky person out there happy! Once again, amazing job Blue Raven and team!!!

My experiences with Blue Raven Solar has been good through sale to install which happened yesterday. I found the financing formula a difficult to follow, gut the sales man patiently explained until I was able to understand. I liked the little diagrams that were emailed, reporting the completion of all steps in the process. The install team was very friendly and answered my questions during the full workday. For the small amount of inside work, they were patient with my shuffling my two dogs from room to room so they would not be underfoot. Prior to each work segment I was asked about the many unique features of my home and all were were considered. (all ferro-concrete home) I have two friends who are home owners who I plan to refer to Blue Raven solar.

The professionalism and experience demonstrated by the entire Blue Raven Team was second to none. Brandon was my point of contact right from the beginning. He came into our home and went through every step of the process before we even got started. The longest and most arduous part of the entire process was waiting for City Permitting to get their portion done. In all fairness, the City Permitting phase fell right in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic when everyone, including our city officials, was required to stay home. Still, even then, Brandon called at least once a week to keep my wife and I informed of the progress being made. The panels went in yesterday and within hours of the installation someone from Blue Raven was calling to schedule the City Inspection.
Thank you Blue Raven.

Well, our solar is up and running now, and it has been a process to get it to this point. With the uncertainty of how the utility commission was going to rule on behalf of Idaho Powers' request to change how customers were to receive credits and then the Coronavirus outbreak, the process took much longer than expected. But, even with all that said, Blue Raven maintained their professionalism. She continued working diligently towards getting our system up and going, although some things were outside their ability to control. It is way to new to know just how beneficial this will be in the long run, but we have high hopes that this system will impact our ability to control our future power bills, which averaged out to be 660.00 dollars a month. This was an extensive system of 76 panels, and the men that came to put it in were amazing. They were professional, responsive to questions, cleaned up after themselves, and very courteous of our home surroundings. I would highly recommend Blue Raven to anyone thinking of going solar. Check them out before signing a contract with anyone else we checked out three separate solar companies before deciding on Blue Raven.

Dave modlinski ,
When my sales guy Zach came to my door I was skeptical and was looking forward to informing any of the solar sales folks in our neighborhood all about the “facts” of why I’d have to be a moron to buy solar. Being a reasonable host I let Zach make his pitch and offered snide remarks to his information, like I said I was a skeptic. Zach told me that the energy produced was 1:1 for RMP buy/sell ratio and try to think about this as something I would own, I like owning my house and not renting it so that analogy made sense. Furthermore if electricity did some sort of spike in cost (unlikely) I’d have already paid in at a lower rate. There were more nuisance small factors that helped in the decision but we decided to hop on in.
We moved on to BRS taking care of permitting and all other aspects. We financed with their preferred lender and that was smooth too. Customer service was really good, no disappointment there, even was I was calling asking for docs that had been previously sent and I lost.
Now we are permitted and ready for install, crew lead Levi and his team showed on the designated morning at the time they said they’d be there. Levi was no nonsense and same for his crew. Levi explained they plan to me, likely timelines and expectations, no confusion there. The also ad hoc proposed a different configuration for the panels that would not only look better but could maybe just net a few more KwH’s. They paid attention to the small stuff like making sure conduit wasn’t all over my roof and even went as far to spray paint the panel legs so they wouldn’t stand out and be gross. Levi explained a few other tips and things to be aware of and they even finished well before the estimated time. When I see the panels it’s brings a smile to my face and that’s good since I have to see it for some time to come.
Bottom line: my experience with BRS was really good. They did exactly what they said they would do and even offered helpful insight for us to get the most out of our investment. Good stuff

There are too many things that I like to mention in a simple review but here are a few highlights. First of all, a long time business associate and friend became a salesperson for the company and after having looked at several different solar companies, Blue Raven topped out with cost, financing and customer service. The next most impressive, were the crew. From the initial greeting from Mark who was most aware of his surroundings to the needs of his crew and the personal touch of making sure I knew exactly what was happening where and how, was extraordinary. Each member of the crew was dedicated, positive and exacting in the work they did. I was impressed that even as I was working other projects around the yard, if I needed a tool or object that was stored where the crew was working, they would even turn down music as I approached, acknowledge my presence and answer any and all questions or comments I may have offered. (When does that even happen with other contractors?!)
Now, I don't recall the other cues mentioned for the review, but I will simply say that I have never been more happy with an install of any kind, ever in the 30+ years I have been at this address. I am so excited to be Sol-aware!!! Thanks, Blue Raven.

Blue Raven has been amazing to work with for the entire process. Their customer service is hands down five star. I had all sorts of issues and they were very helpful in fixing things. For instance I had an opt-out on my meter for solar radiation and they bought a radiation guard. I had issues with the thermostat and they covered the bill to have it fixed.
Also, I had two solar companies approach me during this time and none of them offered to pay the first 18 months of our energy costs. They partnered with LoanPal, which lead to me refinancing my home at a better interest rate and in 15 years. I had been in a 33 year loan through the USDA.
The entire experience has been amazing! The panels look great. My energy bills are so low. I am producing so much energy! My loan payment took the place of my electrical bill.

I contacted Tesla’s Solar City in March of 2018, went through all the hoops involved, also went through Sun Badger, Solar Sun, also Blue Raven. After getting all info and thinking about the proposals, I made decision in April 2019 to go with Blue Raven! June 24of 2019 Solar Panels installed turned on Aug 6th took over a month for final Utility inspection and for the billing cycle to start from Com Ed Illinois. Month of July production and part of June and 6 days of August were Lost?? No credit to me, all went to the grid?? Be sure to find out when billing cycle starts. August bill, $35.50 this year, last year $174.00 I am happy to go green. Thank you Blue Raven Dolar.

I've had my system for 19 months. I have a small home so I was only able to purchase 1/2 of a system. The sales rep was fantastic...he also had a system so he spoke to us from personal experience. Office staff was professional and helpful. I am so glad we have Solar. I save 4 trees every month. My gas bill is more expensive than my electric now. Even in the heat of summer my electric bill is always half of what it was 19 months ago. Blue Raven has their own in house service men....many solar companies have outside people doing their work! The only thing I am not thrilled with is Loan Pal that I have the loan with.. They are ok but their loan payment statements don't show enough information..and the online is not very user friendly. With electric rates going up I am glad I have solar

The Blue Raven (BR) team that includes our Salesman Chris, lead us to a very transparent induction to the BR way to the product used. Chris ensured us that all we need to do is sit back and relax, BR did the rest from permits, electric engineering fees and dealing with our HOA was seamless. The install team lead by Scott was AWESOME. They installed 35 panels in a day and half. His team works very professional and efficient. They all work well together and all have a great sense of humor. They all ensured my property was cleaned prior to there departure and wished us a Merry Christmas. How refreshing to hear young adults say that!Thanks we appreciated that! Merry Christmas and a healthy New Year to you all at BR.

This was actually our second solar system (we moved this year), both times using Blue Raven. We looked at other companies, but Blue Raven always came out at the top of our choices.
This second time has been an even better experience; they have let us know where we are at in the process and updated us on every stage (design, permitting, install, inspections). Our install team, Austin and Zach, were very friendly and professional. They got everything installed and left no mess, walking us through the equipment once they were done, and letting us know what to expect next (inspections, etc). We are very happy with the process.

I scheduled Blue Raven to remove the solar panels they had installed in January 2019, because I had a roofing crew coming the next day to remove my old shingles and install new ones. I took the day off so I could be at home when they arrived and provide any help, as required, such as letting the Blue Raven crew into my garage to store the panels and framework. They never arrived; the crew was delayed by a difficult installation job elsewhere.
I was not happy and somewhat discouraged, as I new the roofers might need to reschedule. However, Blue Raven called me and apologized profusely for the delay and said they would send the crew out first thing in the morning, a Saturday. When I asked for a time estimate, I was told the crew would arrive sometime between 6:30 and 7:00 AM. Sure enough, they arrive at 6:40 AM and got to it. Two hours later they were finished, the panels were stacked safely in my garage, and the roofing crew arrived and was able to complete the job on time.
My discouragement had turned into satisfaction. But most important, the Blue Raven crew leader and the scheduler were both very contrite about having failed to arrive on the day scheduled. That meant a lot to me.

We got our solar panels installed two weeks ago by Blue Raven Solar. Our sales rep Bryce in southern Utah is amazing to work with and I can tell he really cares about our experience. He is quick to answer my calls/texts about any little question I have about our panels. On the day of install, from start to finish the install only took 2.5 hours. We also got the Echobee smart thermostat and LED light bulbs thrown in with the install. The app I use to track our output is really slick. Our panels have been working great for the first week, and I hope it continues for many years to come! I haven't gotten my tax credit yet or my first electric bill since the install, but I'm eager for the good news. Blue Raven Solar customer service is always quick to answer my calls and emails, and they are always professional.

Communication. A stickler for me for business. They call,text and email.. no guessing.. a relief there. The crew that did the installation was like an oiled machine..having done variius thungs in my life,I can spot inept buffoons immediately. These 3 guys were performing like it was rehearsed.. Not a scrap of trash left,no extra holes.. friendly and patiently explained things to me (as I was trying to stay out of their way) Sales man Jon S came by to see the progress,too. It got breezy and quite chilly...not one complaint. Thermostat was installed neatly and taught to us. Looking for the power company to hook me up now!

Everyone from Blue Raven was super nice from sales, to instillation process and also during rectification of some minor issues after instillation. The Blue Raven representatives were very cordial, patient, responsive and seemed genuinely interested in answering my questions and rectifying any trouble shooting issues over the phone throughout all stages.
We had always wanted to go solar but never pulled the trigger until Will B showed up at our front door, answered our never-ending questions and explained everything to our satisfaction. After he explained the environmental impacts of traditional energy production, the inevitable 100% energy offset and the fact that we would never have an energy bill, the decision to go solar with Blue Raven seemed so obvious.
The instillation was super quick and easy. The installers worked hard to minimize their impact on our landscaping and to minimize the impact on our lives as we were in and out of the house on instillation day.
As promised and without hiccup, Blue Raven paid every cent of our initial loan over an 18 month period. In addition to our personal experiences with Blue Raven personnel, this 18 month promise played large role in our decision to partner with Blue Raven.
Thanks to Blue Raven, we are finally a solar family, we're enjoying 100% energy offset and so happy to do our part in preserving the environment by producing clean energy.

I’m tremendously impressed with every aspect of Blue Raven Solar . . . everything was completed as offered and now a year after the installation I can say that it continues to be a fine investment! Everything was conducted (and contacts since) seem to have the integrity of a different era — a time when a person’s word was the most important guarantee you could have and the transaction completed with a handshake over the hood of a car! Of course we had the usual paperwork to complete but it seemed secondary to their personal assurance! I would recommend them to everyone, including my daughter and you know how important she is!

Blue Raven did not pressure us into installing solar panels, like other companies. They answered all or questions and concerns. They offered the best deal and handled the entire installation process and kept us well informed at each step of the way. The even worked with our HOA and local utility company. The installation was clean and very professional and following activation they have been providing reports on production numbers and system performance. I recommended them to our neighbor and they are enjoying also the benefits of solar energy. Several other houses in our neighborhood have followed our lead and adopted solar using Blue Raven Solar

During the summer of 2018 I was approached outside my home by a sales agent named Rodolpho. I wasn’t in the best of moods as I was fixing a sprinkler system that had been giving me a problem for a few days. Rodolpho went in to a pitch about solar and Ask if we could meet to speak more in detail later on. We set an appointment and he came by at a more convenient time to answer all my questions. I didn’t know this at the time but I was his first sale. After extensive Q and A I went for it! No money out of pocket and my mind was at ease moving forward with the purchase. From sales to installation the process was smooth and painless. I’ve just completed a year and my utilities bill have been so amazing! The sad part for this entire process is that I’m selling my house and can’t take the panels with me. The good side is I found a company that I can trust and will move forward with solar panels from Blue Raven on my future house. I have spoken highly of this company at work and can’t say enough positive things about everyone I’ve interacted with. I would go through it all again with no hesitation!

Blue Raven has been a great company for my solar power needs. They made the process to easy that I couldn’t believe that there wasn’t a whole lot that I needed to do to get my solar power system. They gave me a ton of information for how much power my system would supply. When I agreed to give it a go they took care of everything. They took care of all the permits, coordination to install my system, and city inspection to ensure everything was up to code. My system has been working flawlessly since it got turned on and I started seeing savings immediately. A couple months I had a credit with my electric company and then in August when we constantly ran the air conditioning I got an electric bill for $22. I would have normally spent over $150. This solar system is beyond worth the money and again Blue Raven made it so easy!!

We talked to about 4 different solar companies and were most impressed with blue raven. We liked the way their panels looked sleeker without the lines through then so it looked better on roof and we liked their pricing structure and promotions as there was option for no money upfront, took only 1 day to install and was easy process. Evan was super helpful and knowledgeable throughout the whole process and he wasn't trying to sell us more panels than we needed. We've had the panels on for a year now and has saved us a ton of money...cut down our power bill right away and now it's barely a bill at all. The tax incentives were the main reason we wanted to do solar and so glad we did. Great experience with both Evan and blue raven, highly recommend!

We've had a great experience so far with Blue Raven Solar. The sales rep and consultant answered all our questions about the different options and weren't pushy. The initial site inspection matched what we had been shown in the proposal - no surprises.
The scheduling, permitting, and working with our HOA went smooth and quicker than projected. The panel installation and electrical work was also completed early and the installers (Jason and Derrick) were courteous, respectful, and great to work with. Communication has good - text, phone and email to keep us up to date and informed on next steps.
We're now working towards the final steps including inspection and net metering hookup - looking forward to enjoying our new solar system. The Blue Raven Solar team has done an excellent job so far.

We have had Blue Raven Solar since March of 2019 which is 6 months later at the time I'm writing this review. Our utility bill is $0 each month whereas previously it was averaging on an annual basis about $90 a year. On top of that we have a credit that has been building up month over month as we produce much more than we consume. I highly advise using the high efficiency bulbs that Blue Raven provides you as well as the smart home thermostat they give you for free. This will reduce your energy consumption significantly. Also, I would recommend installed a Sense monitor (https://sense.com/) on your home's electrical panel as this will help you to identify where you are wasting energy. Also, don't go out and immediately start changing all your appliances to electric. Change them out as they die off otherwise you are killing your costs savings. We have had a great experience with solar panels. No issues so far. Oh and the app lets you monitor the production on an daily basis (intra-day in fact).

From the first time talking with Blue Raven my wife and I were impressed that the company was not trying to sell us! When we sat down with Martin every minute was spent with not only a completely knowledgeable person buy one who was completely professional. He answered each question until we were satisfied we understood what we asked.
The follow up was regular in letting us know where we were at with the process. If I called with a question, I received a call back within 12-24 hours. If the person didn't know the answer they called me back with a clear answer.
Installation was done today 9/23/19. They were amazingly quick, but totally thorough. They took the time to answer my questions professionally, with clarity and precision. Their mindset was clear. To make sure we had a professional and complete installation done with the highest standards and they were amazingly precision oriented. It was a pleasure working with Blue Raven and would unquestionably and have recommended this company to friends and neighbors. I rarely in my life have experienced such professionalism, ethics, customer service and installation done as well as Derrick and his partner did today. If when all else is done as well I will give the whole process 5 stars out of 5stars. I am not an easy man to impress, Blue Raven has completely impressed thus far.
Thanks for such a wonderful experience so far. May God bless you all.

My experience with Blue Raven Solar has been absolutely fantastic! They contacted me directly via solicitation to our house and I am very happy that I gave them the time of day. Before I was even a customer they had done their due diligence and determined that I was a good candidate for solar. After talking with their rep I scheduled a follow up with their salesperson. Parker was very knowledgeable and professional. He helped us determine that for about $10 more a month than we are paying for our power we could purchase solar panels.
After we determined to purchase the solar panels Blue Raven pretty much took care of everything in a very expedient manner. They sent someone over to photograph the roof and developed a design. They submitted for permits quickly and scheduled construction soon after the permits were issued. It took their crew about a day to install the panels and do the electrical work. As an added bonus they gave us a free EcoBee smart thermostat as well as a bunch of LED lights. There was an issue when they installed the thermostat and Blue Raven promptly scheduled a HVAC technician to come over and fix the issue.
From the beginning consult to the final install it has been an absolute fabulous experience. This has been one of the best decisions I have made in a very long time.

From the initial inquiry I was impressed by the detailed, helpful and great communication. The emails, text and check up phone calls were very pleasant and relaxing. Mitch was pretty laid back and easy going. He explained the entire process, pros and cons of having solar energy going forward versus not. He answered all of my questions and the questions of my guest as well. Mitch walked me through the entire process while making sure that I understood everything. He didn't pressure or try to sell me. They were very easy to work with as I'm in and out of town regularly for work. They handled my HOA request, city permits, blueprints, financing and inspections. I didn't have to shi anything except be present for installation and inspections. They have high quality equipment and they're very efficient, clean and friendly people. All of them were amazing! Team 4 did my install and they showed up and knocked it all out in 3 hours and I had a large install pack. I would recommend Blue Raven Solar to ANYONE that is looking for our remotely interested in going Solar indeed. A+++

Better than I could have imagined! Zander B was my rep and he explained everything really well and it was clear it was going to save me a lot of money over time as well as the environment.
I needed a new roof and some trees removed before I even thought about going solar, and working with Zander at Blue Raven allowed me to get those things done at no out of pocket cost!
Scott and the install team were a pleasure to work with. Very professional, communicative, and fast. Scott modified my design on the spot for a better aesthetic. I'm thrilled with the result and can't seem to stop telling everyone I know about what a great deal Blue Raven has to offer!

Blue Raven Solar is a great company, the consultant,( MARK S) took his time to explain everything to me, on the day of the install, the team was fantastic as well, I kept trying to feed them, and they said they already ate. I highly recommend Blue Raven Solar, to anyone, all my questions where answered. they a very professional, and very knowledgeable. I am looking forward to reducing my electric bill to Very little if any at all. Mark always stayed in touch through out the process, making me feel very great full that Mark was looking out for us, and not for himself,.
you do not find that kind of person any more.
Thank you Mark,
and thank you Blue Raven.

I unfortunately had a poor experience with Blue Raven. First they did not appear to understand the local regulations where I live. The installation was done incorrectly per local regulations and required multiple visits for the company to finally get the set up acceptable to the village. It was months from the installation to when the system was operational. Then this winter, after heavy snows, ice and snow slid off the panels onto my car parked in the driveway causing thousands of damage to my vehicle. I emailed Blue Raven, and first they said they had never heard of this issue, and then stopped responding. Looking on line, this is a well known issue in states with snow, with solutions available. Their ignorance of this is unaccpeptable. I would strongly urge you to look for a different company that knows what they are doing

Review updated: Horrible service. I had contracted and at the time, I had just installed a hot tub. through the winter before it was installed My bills were higher, so I got a quote from another company which was more panels. about a month and a half before install, I sent my rep an updated bill to which he blew me off saying it was no problem. Then it was installed, and I had to turn it on, connect to enphase and learn system myself. The rep sent me thermostats paid for out of his pocket, which is kind of shady, and they said they were going to send someone to install which hasnt happened. They are now saying I have to install 6 additional panels to get to 100% offset. Th rep is now telling me things like hybrid systems are good, but non of this was discussed before. I also had concerned that the panels are not lined up in straight lines, which my wife and neighbors have made comments, and again the rep blew me off . To me, the rep is either incompetent since I now have to purchase more, or just greedy and didn't care which is why he blew me off. The company has ceased to respond for requests to make this right or remove it and the loan. DO NOT contract with Blue Raven.
