About Blue Raven Solar Reviews

Blue Raven Solar offers solar power technology services. The company prioritizes a simple, straightforward process by helping customers every step of the way, including creating the designs, filling out the appropriate permits and installation.

What is Blue Raven Solar?

Blue Raven Solar provides homeowners with a simple and affordable way to buy the best solar technology and own their solar power systems without leasing from a third party.

The company designs a system for your home, obtains permits and installs the components. Most installations are complete in one day. For those with qualifying credit scores, there are no upfront installation costs and power is free for the first 18 months. Blue Raven customers will save an average of $20,000 to $80,000 on electricity costs over 20 years, according to the company.

Blue Raven Solar uses the latest solar panel technology, including black-on-black, monocrystalline silicon solar panels and Enphase microinverters. All Blue Raven solar plans include a smart thermostat and LED lighting for your home. Blue Raven comes with a 25-year panel guarantee and a two-year production guarantee. The company also provides free system monitoring.

How does Blue Raven Solar work?

The Blue Raven Blue Power Plus plan combines the concept of a power purchase agreement (PPA) with the benefits of solar ownership. Qualified customers pay $0 upfront and get free power for 18 months. The loan agreement lets the homeowner own the solar panel system while paying it off over time and keeping 100% of the power savings. Monthly payments and interest rates do not increase during the life of the loan, and there is no prepayment penalty.

A consultant from Blue Raven Solar will talk with you over the phone about your options. Installations are customized to take advantage of the most ideal location for the solar panels and other components. The company also helps with obtaining permits. Once the design is complete and proper permits are in place, installation takes one day in most cases.

How much does Blue Raven Solar cost?

Blue Raven Solar’s cost varies based on the size of installation. The company does not provide specific pricing on its website, but potential customers can call or fill out a form to be contacted by a representative for a free consultation and information about pricing.

Qualified customers pay $0 upfront and get 18 months of free solar power. The cost of the system is financed over time with a loan. Monthly payments and interest rates are fixed for the life of the loan.

Contract & Terms

Reviewed Sept. 14, 2023

From signing to PV install, it took 3 weeks. Then it was another 3 months before Xcel approved the energization of the system. I also had Blue Raven replace wood shingle roofing which was done in 1 day from 10 crew team. Whole experience was seamless! One thing I would recommend is to change the contract so the second half of the payment is due upon when the whole system is up and running for customers. This way bonus on the company. I would highly recommend Blue Raven over other companies unless you are do-it-yourself kind of person. Salesman, Zander, was available throughout the process even after the initial sales contract.

    Bit of a long process due to some extra work that needed to be done in my situation, but overall it was great. The install itself was very quick and everyone was very friendly and communicative. Would recommend this company. The incentive program is Also very good, as is the tax credit you receive.

    Reviewed Aug. 21, 2023

    My partner and I worked with Bob ** for the introduction to what Blue Raven Solar is and what they can offer us, he also showed us what kind of layout and number for panels we could have on our sized home. We ended up being able to have 13 panels and the permitting process seemed to be really quick. The Portland 4 team did an amazing job with the installation especially because they adjusted the layout to look nicer and get us more sun for our home. Blue Raven has been available at all times with questions and concerns especially offering to be there if we need them in the future regarding questions about the panels.

    Honest review is, installation was scheduled. Received a call the Friday before a Wednesday installation saying the installation team had a commitment that couldn't be moved and that would force our installation to shift out to the following Friday. Seemed as if the prior commitment was more important than our previously scheduled install. That was annoying and concerning both at the same time.

    Upon arrival, the install team was fast and seemed to knock out the install without much issue. Left some trash laying around, and a box on the roof, but overall, I'd rate the install at a B to B+. That said, it hasn't rained yet, so we are anxiously biting our nails to see if when we get rain, if there are any leaks. Fingers crossed and praying there are not any leaks. Haven't been able to engage the system yet, currently awaiting inspection and Rocky Mountain Power to change out the home electrical meter.

    BRS thus far has been great to work with. Their design and permit applications went quickly, and most of the waiting has been for the power company or the AHJ. Once we received approvals, they were quick to get me on their schedule within a couple of weeks. The morning of the install the crew arrived 30 mins early and got started quickly. Within 5 hours I had a complete new solar system installed and commissioned and ready for final inspection. I was blown away by how well Levi led his crew and how Kyle and Andy worked quickly and professionally to get it done quickly and get it done right.

    When I started the process I pointed out to the salesman providing the quote and to the on-site inspector that my electrical panel was already full. They made sure to document this and the engineers accounted for it in their plans by utilizing tandem breakers. Andy knew what was needed and was able to easily integrate the solar double pole breaker into my existing panel without need to upgrade my panel or adding a sub-panel.

    I still need to wait for a final inspection with the county and then final approval from the utility company to connect, but feel that BRS will be on the ball as they have been to get me connected quickly! Each time I've reached out to ask a question I was able to get ahold of the right representative and got my questions answered.

    First I noticed the installers laying the panels on the wrong side of my home, they did straighten that out, then they had to return with an electrician to rework some things with the breakers. Everyone who worked on the project was very polite and courteous, I think they are so new to our area that they had to import people from other areas of the state and probably trying to find people to work.

    The crew installing the solar panels were very courteous and professional. The electrician Nate and the master electrician Robert took their time as they were installing the electric panels, to explain the function of the system to give me a clear understanding of how the solar works along with the power company. I am completely satisfied with the installation from Blue Raven and look forward to saving energy with their product.

    Blue Raven Solar is Great! Harrison ** was my salesperson. I got bids from four companies. Harrison was by far the most professional and used no pressure on his sales approach. The Blue Raven team handled all permit issues and made everything so easy for me to get HOA approval. The installation crew arrived when they were supposed to. Nick headed the installation crew and could not have been more professional and courteous. I highly recommend Blue Raven Solar in the Denver, CO area.

    Fast, thorough, and great with communication/setting expectations. Would recommend to friends and family. Brady did a great job coming to my house to explain the cost breakdown and helping get everything approved and ready for installation. Jay did a great job with the actual install.

    The solar system for our home was completed today. The staff members were very helpful, efficient, capable and were great to work with. They completed the installation earlier than expected. While the final inspections on the system have not yet been completed, We anticipate the full approval to activate the sytem and go live. Thank you Blue Raven.
