What is Blue Raven Solar?
Blue Raven Solar provides homeowners with a simple and affordable way to get set up with solar panels and storage 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 completed 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 claims customers typically save between 10% and 30% off the cost of their monthly utility bills.
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 solar systems come with a two-year service warranty, 10-year workmanship warranty and a solar power production guarantee. Solar panels also typically include a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty. Lastly, Blue Raven provides free system monitoring.

How does Blue Raven Solar work?
A consultant from Blue Raven Solar will talk with you over the phone about your options. Installations are customized to take advantage of the best 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.
The company offers a cash payment option, as well as two financing options: BluePower and BluePower Plus+. The Blue Raven BluePower Plus+ plan is especially interesting, combining the concept of a power purchase agreement (PPA) with the benefits of solar ownership.
With BluePower Plus+, 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.

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.

I initially contracted Blue Raven in August of 2025. My initial contact with the selling agent was pleasant and very accommodating, I was promised that he would be there every step of the way, start to finish, he was, for the installation, after that, crickets. I have contacted the sales agent on when the work would be completed, no response, other questions no response! The panels are up with some discrepancies noted by the city inspector not yet corrected. I have three homes that they did and all of them the same thing, nothing to complete anything and it is now the 23 of October, not even return call from the selling agent. I suppose they see me as a piggy bank, they'll finish when they want their money, not before. In the interim I'm concerned about the end of the incentive program at the end of December, I would NOT recommend Blue Raven to my worst enemy!
Hi Jose, thank you for sharing. We’re sorry for the frustration and lack of communication you’ve experienced.

Once that permit is approved, our team will promptly schedule the inspection to keep things moving toward completion. We appreciate your patience as we work through the final steps and have shared your feedback with the appropriate teams to improve communication moving forward. Please reach out at 855-205-2530 if you have any questions. - Katie G.

After you pay them, they will never come back. My system has been down over 4 months and they won’t even call me back. Don’t use them. I told 2 friends to call someone else, they lost a lot of business. I reported them to the BBB.

We understand how important your solar production is, and we want to reassure you that any lost production caused by system downtime will be compensated for in accordance with your agreement. Your feedback has also been provided to the appropriate management to ensure better communication efforts moving forward.

On September 8 and 9 2025 our solar panels were installed, great crew and a real good job. Then one of the crew members (Jose) told us that the next day or maybe one day later somebody from Blue Raven would contact us for the final phase namely inspections and after that we could start using the system. That is 5 weeks ago, we were never called at all. I called several time, did send e mails and received ticket numbers but no response. September 29 I called and again I heard the work orders is in progress. On October 2 I called again (because they did not call me back) and again I was told that somebody would call me back and surprise!, Mr. ** from work orders called me that afternoon.
Mr. ** told me that he had taken over this case and he would call me back the next day, what never happened. On October 8 I did send another e-mail to Blue Raven work orders, inspection and customer service, received an automatic e mail with a ticket number and you guess it by now: no response. One advice from me to you (the future customer,) please do yourself a favor and find another company, blue raven is really not worth spending one minute of your time, really an unreliable company. I will update this story within a month to keep everybody informed. Rudi.
We're happy to let you know that your final inspection passed on October 31, and we are now submitting the results to your utility provider for approval. We will continue to provide updates as your project progresses and will stay in close contact until everything is fully activated. Thank you again for your patience, and please feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions. -Emma A.

Installation crew showed up during the start time window as communicated to us. They were fast, detail oriented and left no mess upon departure. The system installation looks fantastic. Thanks for a great experience.

Blue Raven has offered nothing but false promises from the beginning of this experience. Within the first few months of being promised a monthly reimbursement check, they failed to send out checks due to an "accounting issue," as they mentioned. After finally beginning to send out those checks, they most recently sent out a check that bounced. I complained about the issue, and they sent out another check that bounced too! I am still waiting on a reissue of that check months later, without ANY communication from the company (even though they told me multiple times that someone would be in touch). This has been a regrettable experience to say the least.
Hi Sheree, thank you for your feedback. We apologize for the delays and frustration this has caused. Our accounting team is aware of the issue regarding your checks and is actively working on resolving it . We appreciate your patience and want to assure you that, in accordance with your contract, you will receive the full amount owed. - Katie G.

I'm writing this review to share my frustrating experience with Blue Raven Solar. I was promised a payment of $1,620.00 as compensation for my first 18 months of solar payments, a deal we had in writing. The payment was due over a year ago, on August 12, 2024. Despite countless phone calls and emails over the past 12 months, the money never came. Every time I called, I was met with delays and excuses. I even sent a formal demand email on August 7, 2025, telling them I'd take legal action if they didn't pay by August 21, 2025. They ignored that, too.
Because of their failure to follow through, I'm now forced to take them to small claims court. I've also filed complaints with the Colorado Attorney General's Office and the Better Business Bureau. This company does not honor its commitments. I strongly advise you to be cautious if you're considering doing business with them.

Updated on 09/29/2025: I actually got a reply from the company. A lot of nonsense about the "accounting" dept....with the usual "we are working on it" 10 days later....crickets. No call, no email, and of course no refund. In fact, no response whatsoever. So....can I give them zero stars?
Original Review: Had to get my solar panels removed after a hailstorm. Paid the 50% deposit upfront but just could not get them to get the job done. Finally on 8/20 I demanded a refund and got approved. A dozen phone calls later I'm still waiting. I get some very pleasant and helpful offshore service desk but when they try to get any information, they put me on hold for 15 minutes and come back and tell me no one is responding. NEVER get a call back from anyone. They just don't seem to care. Wish I had never used them. Next call is to my attorney.... Time to take legal action.

Updated on 09/30/2025: Still not impressed, here we are 17 days later with no progress or updates on our system. Corporate told me they would call me back. Never heard from them, I had to call again yesterday. Considering billing for my time as I shouldn't have to make these calls at all, the reimbursement they spoke of we haven't received it yet. They don't know what customer service is and they certainly don't live up to their word.
Original Review: We were very excited to go solar; everything was going great. Communication was thorough and things were moving well. Once the panels were installed that's where things started to go sideways, they scheduled an inspector for Friday 8/1/25. He never showed and neither did they, my wife burned a whole day off work. They rescheduled for the following Monday 8/4/25. Inspection passed; next steps get the energy company out to install the meter. Then on 8/20/25 they sent us an interconnection agreement which we signed right away (these texts come over and say things like if you don't sign this our holding up the process). Then 15 days later we get another text with the same thing. Another interconnection agreement. 9/4/25 Mind you they say it takes 30 days from the time this is signed for the meter to be installed.
The sales guy says he is working on it but doesn't answer phone calls. He will only respond to a text message and only responds with, "I'm working on it." He originally told us at the sales pitch we would not pay a payment until 3 months after our system was powered up, well he lied. We just paid our first payment today and we still don't have a meter. 'Cause we are exceptionally mad about this we decided to call the power company ourselves. Guess what? They have no recollection of us going to net metering, I have had to call the finance company today and see if we can postpone payments and call Blue Raven themselves to see if they can step in. Also hard to use the referral program if you wouldn't refer the company to your worst enemy. Would have loved to leave a much better review about this process as we were so excited to get this done.

Terrible. I called 9 times. No one will call back. They lost 2 other people that want solar. Mine is down for 2 months and they can't come out for another 3 weeks. Wish I didn't go with Blue Raven. Filing complaint with BBB. NEXT STEP IS A LAW SUIT.

When I purchased the system, it was represented as sized to 105% of my usage. Based on that, I reasonably expected at least 3–4 months each year with a $0 PGE bill. That has not occurred. In addition, while you are currently reimbursing my monthly solar payments, those payments were rolled into the financed loan, which means I am effectively being reimbursed with my own borrowed funds while still accruing interest.
Below is a same-month, year-over-year comparison. For 2025, I show the utility bill plus the solar loan payment to reflect my actual out-of-pocket cost.
Side-by-side comparison (billed kWh and dollars)Month 2024 kWh 2024 Utility Bill 2025 kWh 2025 Utility Bill Solar Loan Payment 2025 Total (Bill + Loan) “Savings” vs. 2024*
May 1,578 $309.27 742 $160.96 $248.42 $409.38 –$100.11
June 1,733 $338.75 710 $154.49 $248.42 $402.91 –$64.16
July 2,083 $463.70 978 $206.20 $248.42 $454.62 +$9.08
*Savings formula: 2024 Utility Bill − (2025 Utility Bill + Solar Loan Payment)
Three-month totals (May–July):• 2024 utility spend: $1,111.72
• 2025 total spend (bill + loan): $1,266.91 → +$155.19 higher with solar
• Billed kWh fell from 5,394 (2024) to 2,430 (2025) → ~55% reduction in grid usage
What this shows. Despite substantially lower grid consumption (~55%), my total cost is higher by $155.19 over the same three months. I have not had a $0 PGE bill in these peak-production months, contrary to the 105% expectation.
Hi Joseph, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Your proposal was prepared based on an estimated annual consumption of 10,541 kWh. In response, we designed a system with an estimated annual production of 11,045 kWh, resulting in a projected 105% utility offset. This proposal, along with your Home Improvement Contract, was reviewed and signed by you.
As outlined in the contract, factors outside of our control—such as changes in usage, utility rate adjustments, and weather conditions—may affect actual offset, which is why the 105% offset is presented as an estimate. However, the contract also specifies that we guarantee the system’s production within our calculated estimates. According to your Enphase reports, your system has consistently performed within those estimates and has, at times, exceeded expectations. If you are able to provide your usage data from the past six months, our Retrofit Team would be glad to review it and discuss potential options to further improve your utility offset. Please contact us directly at support@blueravensolar.com. -Emma A.
