Blue Raven made the entire process completely painless. Greg was great to work with, and they handled all of the permitting and other requirements on my behalf.

Does the warranty actually add value and are the policies legal?

The sales person at Blue Raven was very responsive and helpful, but the back office people were very pushy and tried to cut corners with my HOA on approvals and start work without the necessary contract approvals. My sales person had to insert himself into the process, as the HOA was becoming angry. Installation went reasonably well, with only a little rework, and then a 6 week delay getting the system energized with our local power company. The system was sold with a 25 year warranty subject to minor annualized degradation of production. However, the labor warranty was only 2 years. The salesman made a big deal presenting the value of individual micro inverters as a dramatic improvement over legacy system designs. With the micro inverters, a failure only impacts production from a single panel. Sounds great! However, after 2 years and 5 months, one of the panels stopped producing power. The only way to get a Blue Raven person to look at it was to pay for a service visit. They discovered that one Enphase IQ8+ micro inverter had failed and would cover the part under warranty. The technician was only here for 15 minutes, but the site visit is a flat $369. Eventually, the replacement part was shipped to our home and I received another invoice for $449. Apparently, this is what they will charge me to swap-out the micro inverter which itself was under warranty. The billed labor rates are dramatically higher than labor content from the installation which was ~15% of the system cost. So much more expensive, that should I need to replace all of these micro inverters over the useful life of the system, the labor cost alone would be 60% of the original full system purchase with installation amounting to about 4X the labor cost for the original installation! Blue Raven do not allow you to replace the micro inverter yourself stating that you couldn't reconfigure the controller and doing your own work would "void the total system warranty". I am unclear if this last statement is in-fact legal in the US due to the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. If not, then the Blue Raven office personnel are making false claims and a BBB complaint should be lodged. The "labor" cost of replacing the micro inverter exceeds the electrical power cost for the total power production capacity the part and panel provides over 23 years! This was certainly not something discussed at the time of purchase. I recommend getting a quoted service labor rate sheet and labor guaranty at the time of order or you should think long and hard before buying a system. I'll also add that the part failed over 3 months ago and I still do not have the part replaced. Are there credits due when the failure was caused by a faulty part under warranty? All work to be performed has to be "pre-paid" before they will even put you on the schedule. At a minimum ask for evidence or research failure rates and get quotes for service fees to include in your break-even analysis.

Good Sales Representative - Greg Rodee

Greg was the sales rep who worked with us here in SE Wisconsin. He provided us with information about solar energy which we knew very little about. He was not pushy about making a sale and was very patient with us in deciding whether or not to go solar. He explained the process of purchasing, permits, installation, inspection, and working with WE Energies to connect with the grid. We are very satisfied with Greg's performance as our sales rep. He has gone above and beyond what is expected of a sales representative. We started this venture mid September. We just had our panels and electrical system installed yesterday - Oct. 21.

Blue Raven in general has been a pleasure to work with, especially my representative Greg Rodee. I met with Greg on short noticed and he was able to confidently explain the process as well as the benefits of going solar. Throughout the entire process of pulling permits and signing documents he’s responded to my questions in a timely and professional manner. I can’t recommend him and this company enough.

Greg from Blue Raven Solar was excellent to work with from start to finish. He took the time to clearly explain each step of the process, kept us informed throughout, and made sure everything went smoothly from the initial consultation to installation. His professionalism, communication, and follow-through really stood out. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—highly recommend working with Greg!

Highly recommend

Greg approached our conversations with confidence and facts. He was patient with my indecisiveness and my many questions. He answered all my questions in a timely manner and even though there were delays with the project, Greg was investigated the reasons and communicated updates to my satisfaction. My experience with Blue Raven was excellent because of Greg’s communication, knowledge, problem solving and professionalism.

The overall experience was quite good on the Blue Raven teams part. Greg was non-pressuring during the initial consult and maintained good communication throughout the whole process. The physical panel install took less than a day to complete, and the installation team was thorough on cleanup. The only real downside was on the part of permits and the power company taking so long for a turnaround on paperwork.

Terrible loan process

It is late October and since mid-July I've been trying to get Blue Raven to correct the loan I financed. They mistakenly included my reroof plus the cost of solar, but I never did the reroof. In the meantime, they're holding my money. I've spoken with Finance Customer Service, the head of Finance, and now an escalation person who keeps promising me the information in writing and does not deliver. I will save on my solar and I think they offer the best product, but geez, this is ridiculous that they're holding $30,000 of my money!

These other bad reviews are spot on

Everything starts off great then derails once the install is done. Final inspection completed 8/4/25 today is 10/15/25 our system is still not turned on. They blame the energy company for sending the wrong interconnection agreement. One person says it takes 30 days another 60 days once the agreement is signed. They tell you they won’t start payments until 3 months after it’s energized, we have made two payments so far. They tell you your check is in the queue but don’t mention they don’t send reimbursements until after the system has been energized. We are cancelling our ACH disputing the previous two payments with the bank and have contacted an attorney. Stay away from them, unless you like being lied to.

Full of deception and lies.

Be careful when choosing this company. Their sales team will lie and deceive you in order to make a sale. What was offered and agreed on by my sales rep and me were completely different from the final documents. I know I should have read documents before signing but I did so in good faith. The sales rep never told me of the changes and now I'm locked in on a bad solar contract. It was the old bait and switch trick. I called Blue Raven and they won't do anything to fix the issues. Be aware of this tactic before signing a contract with Blue Raven or any other solar company.

Buyer Beware

I contracted with Blue Raven Solar to install solar panels on my home, but the experience has been extremely disappointing and frustrating from start to finish. In late 2024, several of my panels stopped producing power due to critter damage. I promptly scheduled service, prepaying for parts and labor, including critter guards to prevent further issues. Unfortunately, what should have been a straightforward repair turned into months of delays: • Appointments were repeatedly rescheduled (sometimes weeks out). • Technicians arrived unprepared—either understaffed for the work required or missing the necessary hardware to complete the job. • At one point, the work stalled because only one of two scheduled technicians showed up, and the previous crew had taken the parts needed for completion. During this time, multiple panels remained offline, and I could hear squirrels continuing to nest on my roof. The system underproduced for months, creating financial loss and frustration. Although Blue Raven eventually completed the physical repairs in January 2025, the production reimbursement under my PV Guarantee has still not been paid. On December 9, 2024, their Work Order Lead calculated that I was owed $483.84. I was told a check would be issued within 4–5 weeks. It is now over seven months later, and despite countless emails, calls, and escalations, no reimbursement has been sent. I’ve been repeatedly told “accounting is backed up” but given no actual resolution. This pattern of taking customer money up front, delivering delayed and disorganized service, and then failing to honor contractual guarantees feels like bad faith and potentially deceptive business practices. As of today, I am still waiting for the reimbursement Blue Raven Solar agreed to pay. I am filing this review so others are aware of my experience. I would caution prospective customers to think twice before working with this company, as their customer service, accountability, and follow-through have been unacceptable.
