Blue Raven Solar

Super, super disappointed. Blue Raven uses a business model that builds a reduction in electrical usage into their estimates. On mine, they added a 27% reduction in electrical usage by adding 12 LED bulbs and a smart thermostat. So, I now have panels on my roof that equal about 72% of my total usage. The problem with their design for my house, is that nobody told me this. I have had a smart thermostat and 100% LED bulbs for years now. The design they sent does not discuss this, and nobody bothered to talk to me about it. The first I knew about the "energy kit" was when the installer handed me 12 LED bulbs. I never even received the smart thermostat at all. Now they want me to add 5 more panels to my current 10 panels. The quote for this was more then 1/2 of the previous install, even though the system is wired and operating currently. In addition, the install team left a handful of nails, screws, wires, and conduit on my roof. In repeated conversations with their team, I still have no answer to why this happened, and frankly appears to be a bait and switch technique to get their consumers to have to add panels to their initial install. If you are researching solar companies, I'd strongly advise you to stay away from Blue Raven.... read more
