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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Hi Casey, I was able to look into your account and I see we have already compensated you for the time you system was down last year. Our support team is currently working with you to provide additional compensation for the 3 weeks your system was down in April. Hopefully this will help to rectify the situation.

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!!
