Blue Raven Solar started in 2014 when three team members had a goal: to bring clean, renewable energy to homeowners in a way that was not only accessible, but also affordable and with a trustworthy approach. While we began as a small operation, only able to work as solar installers in a small radius of the state of Utah, we have grown over the last eight years to over 3,000 team members and expanded our services to nearly half of the United States of America. 

We have received several awards that have been a testament to that significant growth. 

Expanding into new markets across the nation has not been easy, but thanks to our amazing customers who have made the switch to solar, we have grown exponentially, and now we have more momentum than ever. This momentum is caused by the same reasons we grew so quickly originally: people want to save money through solar and the idea of clean, accessible energy is more of a reality now than it has ever been. 

Because of the dedicated work of our sales, field, and corporate teams, our expansion has been smooth and successful, with bright prospects for the future of Blue Raven Solar.  

In our states of operation, we have more than 50 major cities and surrounding areas where we regularly install residential solar panel systems.  

So, are you looking for a solar installer?

Colorado

Working in Colorado has been a breeze. Our teams work in Colorado Springs, Denver, and Fort Collins, and the state has big renewable energy goals – keeping us busy. The state plans to have 100% of their energy needs met with renewables in the next 30 years, and they are well under way. Colorado currently has enough solar installed to power over 452,000 homes and is not even the top state in the nation for solar—it is currently 13th. 

Colorado has great policies that make solar an attractive option for homeowners. Besides the federal tax credit of 30%, local utility companies have their own rebates and credits for net metering, and the state mandates any solar installs are property, sales, and use tax-free. 

If you live in any of the areas surrounding Colorado Springs, Denver, or Fort Collins, we are ready to help you make the switch to solar.

Florida

Known as The Sunshine State, Florida residents are taking advantage of solar energy and its benefits at growing rates. Passing even the ambitious state of Colorado, Florida is ranked 3rd in the United States for solar installations and renewable energy, and they have auspicious projections for the next five years of solar installs, predicting over 9,500 MW from new systems. Our Floridia sales and installation teams work in Orlando and Tallahassee, and we are excited to be able to help Florida residents save money with solar. 

Florida has net metering policies crediting homeowners every 12 months for the excess energy their systems produce. There is also no sales tax and no increase in property tax, even though you are actively adding value to your home with your new system. 

We are proud to be part of a growing industry in Florida as the top solar installer. Florida is a beautiful place with people from so many diverse cultures and backgrounds who all want to keep their air clean so they can continue to enjoy the beauty their home state has to offer.

Idaho

With its beautiful landscapes, national parks, and wildlife of several varieties, Idaho is home to 1.6 million people. There is enough solar energy currently in the state to power 92,000 homes, and the state is ranked 27th within the country for their solar energy production, though the solar capacity has grown by 261% in the last year alone, so the future is bright for Idaho solar.  

Though Idaho winters can be bitter and unforgiving, solar energy thrives all year long in the Gem State. Solar panels are slightly more efficient in colder weather due to the necessary movement of electrons. Do not worry about the snow coverage, because it will melt quicker than you think and leave your panels sparkling clean.  

Blue Raven Solar installs solar panel systems in Idaho Falls and surrounding areas! Homeowners who go solar in Idaho can take advantage of extremely beneficial net metering policies and tax deductions. Homeowners can deduct 30% of the cost of their solar equipment and installation from their income taxes.

Illinois

The Windy City is next on our journey through our solar operations, but no need to fear the wind impacting your solar system!  

Panels and installation guidelines are built to withstand the heaviest winds, even category five hurricanes. So, our customers in Chicago have nothing to worry about. In fact, they should be excited to be part of such a fast-growing and beneficial industry. Illinois is ranked 21st for solar capacity, but the state plans to enter 2025 with 25% of the state’s energy needs fulfilled by solar. 

Being part of that change is an amazing opportunity, and it is one that will save homeowners thousands of dollars on their energy bills. Illinois credits homeowners who produce excess energy, and those credits last for one year. It is not necessary to install a system that will produce too much excess, because you do not want to overcompensate and not receive the credits you deserve. 

Blue Raven Solar knows exactly the right amount of energy production you need to save money efficiently in Illinois.

Indiana

We are proud to be part of the solar movement in Indianapolis. Indiana ranks 16th in the United States for solar energy and is ranked 4th for projected growth over the next five years. The Crossroads of America is home to 900,000 people. Think of the potential for savings across this population. Solar can save homeowners as much as $50,000 over the lifetime of their system. Multiply it by 900,000 and call it a day—that number is almost too big to believe. 

Indiana homeowners do not pay sales tax on their solar system, nor do they see an increase in their property taxes for added value on their home. The current net metering policies guarantee homeowners credits for their excess energy production, but after this year, enrollment in these policies is likely to expire, so the time to go solar is now. 

Kansas

Operating in a city that defies state lines gives us opportunities to bring solar to more people in more places. Kansas City allows us to help homeowners save money in two different states, both part of the same market, though the states do have different policies for different things, and of course, different statistics for their solar capacity. The State of Kansas ranks 44th in the nation for solar capacity, and it is time to improve that! 

Net metering allows not only credits for excess energy production, but also compensation for unused credits. There are also tax incentives and rebates available for Kansas homeowners changing to solar.

Michigan

One of our newest markets, you can find Blue Raven Solar teams in several cities near Detroit and Grand Rapids. The state is ranked 24th in the nation for solar capacity, staying just above the halfway point. Only 0.64% of the state’s energy comes from solar, which is only enough to power 3% of the state’s households. We know there is amazing potential for solar energy to make a difference in Michigan, and we are excited to be part of the movement in this area. 

Michigan homeowners can save money with solar not only through their own utility bills, but also through distributed generation, a state policy allowing for homeowners to be credited for excess energy production. Add on the federal tax credit of 30% and the savings go far! 

If you live in areas in or surrounding Detroit, we are ready to help you make the switch to solar.

Minnesota

The Land of 10,000 Lakes is home to more Blue Raven Solar operations. With enough solar in the state to power over 240,000 homes, Minnesota is ranked 15th in the nation for solar capacity, with over 1,660 MW installed statewide, and projections see capacity doubling in the next 5 years. 

Solar is growing rapidly in Minnesota and we are excited to be part of it. Homeowners in Minnesota can reduce their carbon emissions and save money through some of the great incentives, exemptions, and policies the state has. 

All utility companies in Minnesota offer net metering to residential solar owners, meaning all excess energy produced by solar panels is credited! Minnesota also mandates solar panel systems are exempt from sales tax.
