The Gem State is known for its gemstones and natural resources, but Idahoans consider the landscape of the state the real gem. Whether it’s camping, fishing, hunting, hiking, fishing, or rafting, residents of Idaho love to get outside and enjoy the beautiful outdoors. Idaho is also known for its agriculture, including the famous Idaho potatoes that grow in ideal conditions. All in all, Idaho has a lot riding on how its residents take care of the environment—and by going solar, Idahoans are doing just that.
Idaho solar companies are set to install 17 times the amount of solar panels they’ve installed over the last five years, and 2021 is the perfect time to go solar! Prices for solar panels have fallen over 38% in the last 5 years. The declining cost of solar panels, along with the Federal Income Tax Credit (ITC) and other local incentives, make 2021 the perfect time to go solar in Idaho!
Knowing if solar ownership, lease, or a power purchase agreement (PPA) is the best option for your home can be difficult and confusing. Check out the information below about going solar in Idaho. We provide solar to homeowners in Pocatello, Boise, Idaho Falls, and many surrounding areas.

SOLAR SAVINGS IN IDAHO
Here at Blue Raven Solar, we know that buying a solar system can be a big decision. That’s why we take the time and effort to walk every one of our prospective customers through the pros and cons of going solar for their unique situations. As a homeowner discovers the benefits of solar, they can have a lot of questions. One of the most common categories of questions we receive from potential solar system buyers and even recent owners are about the federal solar tax credit and any other local incentives available in their area.
FEDERAL INVESTMENT TAX CREDIT (ITC)
The federal solar tax credit allows homeowners to take 26% of the total cost of their system in 2019 and apply it as a tax credit in the following year. So, if you purchase a $20,000 system, you’ll be able to take $5,200 off your taxes the next year.
With such cheap electricity rates in Idaho, going solar might seem like a long-term investment. But the truth of the matter is that electricity prices are steadily rising and solar is a great investment for all Idaho residents. Let’s see Idaho’s local solar benefits:
NET METERING
All three utility companies in Idaho offer similar net metering policies. Net metering functions like this: any excess energy production will be applied as a credit to the next month’s bill. Avista doesn’t offer a 12-month roll-over pay out.
STATE TAX DEDUCTION
Residential homeowners are able to deduct 40% of the cost of your solar panel equipment and installation from your personal income taxes. For the next 3 years, Idahoans may apply 20% of the cost of their system to their income tax. This has a maximum deduction of $5,000 a year or $20,000 total.
SOLAR EASEMENT LAWS
Solar easement laws make it so that you can enter into an agreement with your neighbor that allows you to have continued access to sunshine.
SHOULD I GO SOLAR IN IDAHO?
Less than 3% of the current U.S. population are enjoying the benefits & savings of solar energy. Our joy is knowing that our customers are saving money and reducing their carbon footprint. We want the same for you.
With the Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and local incentives, Idahoans are jumping at the chance to become a part of the renewable energy movement. We’re excited to help you throughout your solar journey and hope to help you make a positive impact on the environment while saving you thousands on your electricity bill!
Selecting the best solar company in Idaho to work with is important.
Here’s what we would like you to know about us:

Solar Reviews
“Blue Raven has been amazing to work with for the entire process. Their customer service is hands down five star…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.”

Google Reviews
“We have been 1000% satisfied with our solar panel system. We were impressed with the knowledge that the sales rep had about the Blue Ray solar system. He answered all of our questions pertaining to the complete solar panel system and the financial advantages to us as owners. The system functions exactly as promised. We tell all of our family members and friends about our system and how much money we are saving. Our daughter liked what we told her about the advantages of installing a solar system on her home and she installed your panels on her home. They were very pleased with the system installed on their home. We were happy to receive a $250 check for referring to your company.”

“Very professional and easy to work with, without being pressured
“When we bought our first home, we were keen on going as green as possible… We got a quote from another solar company, whose plan seemed poorly designed and would not produce 100% of our electricity usage. When we met with Blue Raven, it was a totally different story. The design made sense, and was estimated to cover 114% of our usage! Installation took only 1 day! As soon as March we saw the production numbers jump through the roof. As of June 1 we’ve had 3 months of 100%+ production and our electric bill is as low as it can go (we are now only paying for the $15/mo utility connection fee). Blue Raven even pays the loan for the first 18 months to ensure you aren’t paying for electric and the loan simultaneously. Great service, great people, great system. No complaints!”

The installation crew were prompt, neat, courteous and informative when asked questions. They also volunteered information on what they’d be doing and when. Fortunately, they didn’t have to shut off the power (or if they did, it was imperceptible). So, the overall experience was a breeze. They finished the job in less than three hours even though the roof was covered in frost when they arrived. So far, I’d definitely recommend this company to others! Thanks Blue Raven. 😃

Amazing experience working with Blue Raven Solar. The initial process of getting the bid and working through the design of our system was smooth. The inspection process through blue raven was smooth. The permitting process was very fast and easy. The installation was incredible fast and the installers were all top notch and did an amazing job.

Our Blue Raven Solar installation crew showed up right on time for the installation and were very efficient and knowledgeable! They were polite and helpful and went out of their way to make sure our garage and front of house were tidied up before they left. Would I recommend Blue Raven Solar? We will see once the final city inspection is done! I will update as we go along...so far, so good! Thanks guys!

We had a great install done by Brennan and Crew 4. They were efficient, professional, patient, friendly, and very clean with their worksite. They answered all or our questions, and made sure we were well informed. We have had solar panels installed on our last few homes, and this was, by far, the smoothest solar install we’ve ever had.

If I had any idea how easy it was to get solar on my house, I would have done it YEARS ago! Blue Raven took care of everything for me and kept me updated throughout the entire project. Now that I see my power bill each month, it pains me a little to see how much money I've wasted over the years! The professionalism and experience of all their employees were top notch, from sales all the way to installation! If I ever sell my house, I'll be calling on Blue Raven Solar to install at my next home!read more

Jay and his crew showed up on time everything was delivered everything looked great. I was shocked that they had everything done in four hours thought it was gonna be a lot longer. Jay installed one of those Smart Thermostats, which is connected to my phone, totally impressed.Thank you all for being such a wonderful group. If anyone out there is deciding to go with solar Blue Raven is the one to go through they are accredited by the Better Business Bureau where as most the others are not.

Very pleased with Blue Raven Solar. Jon McPherson has been very helpful and honest. Start to finish about 4 weeks. They did everything permits, called for schedule date, crew response, everything. I am doing my share of "Going Green" but I am not a radical, just being reasonable and thinking of the future. More of this Solar Power for home use will be coming and I am already set. Of course by increasing our home value in todays market of about $16000.00 helps. Savings in power bill helps, no worry or rate increases and all.read more

It's been easy to work with Blue Raven on this solar panel install. They are proactive in making sure that the process is understood and moves along, and are responsive to questions and concerns. They have also been flexible in sizing the panel install (we considered small, medium and large numbers of panels). The install crew was professional and considerate. I ended up talking with several of them over the time they were here, and they are a good group of guys. Very happy with the overall process and install so far.read more

The install was today and I'm very impressed with the professionalism of the crew. They were very personable and very considerate of what was best for my needs.

Can't wait until the inspector gives me the green light to go hot.

This was one of the best big purchase experiences I've ever had. EVERYONE from their canvassers to their sales people to their install team was more professional, patient, understanding, competent, fast, and easy to work with than any other similar team I have ever hired. Not only did they give us quick and easily digestible information every step of the way, but they seemed to match my excitement about the project every step of the way. They helped us get a new roof put on before the solar went in, they explained every step in the process, and everything within their control went according to plan. The install took a hair longer than anticipated, but the crew never made a decision without talking to me first to ensure a positive experience. Highly recommend!read more

Only two final steps left and then I will be producing power from my system.

From the very beginning, Blue Raven solar has been everything I expect from a company. Our salesperson, Jon, has kept us abreast every step of the way. I told him from the day I met him that we want solar. He was never pushy, but he was persistent. I cancelled an appointment, he made another one. I forgot to fill out paperwork, he reminded me - but never did he try to talk me into anything I didn't tell him I wanted - just gave me the right amount of gentle nudge a procrastinator needs to get things done and I appreciated it.The installers came today and were absolutely professional. They let me know what they were doing, walked me through the setup and helped me with programming the smart thermostats. We have brand new carpet and they wore protective booties whenever they had to walk on it. Connor, Brennan, Brandon, and Brian where great!read more

Blue Raven Solar has been terrific in getting solar installed on our home. In particular:1) Blue Raven was totally transparent throughout the process. There were no nasty surprises.2) In all aspects (sales, payment, quality of work) in dealing with them, I have found them to be completely honest and professional.3) In terms of dates, times, quality of work, quality of materials, scope of work, they met every commitment. I never had to complain or ask twice.4) They dealt seamlessly (to me) with all of the needed permitting and inspections.5) We needed to have our house's roof replaced. (The roof replacement was included in the contract.) Blue Raven supplied a contractor (Idaho Roofing) which also did a terrific job. ( Idaho Roofing did an equally excellent job of meeting my needs/expectations.)6) Blue Raven was always responsive in a timely way in dealing with my questions/needs/concerns.I've been extremely happy with the results of our solar install and would definitely hire Blue Raven again. I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting a solar installation.read more

Since day 1 this company has been on point! Mitch was an excellent, well educated salesman that was only interested in one thing....saving us money. With Boise growing rapidly and increases in utilities every 6 months we were able to take our power bill from close to $300 in the summer down to $130. The power bill is now consistent with no fluctuation. Plus, once the panels are paid off, no more power bill. The install team consisted of Devin, Jake, and Brennan whom showed up right on time and were extremely professional from the get go. It only took them 4-5 hours to install 30 panels and run all of the wiring! When they were finished, they fully explained the workings of the system and the app used to run/monitor the system. I am extremely pleased with the service I received, as good customer service is hard to find these days. Thanks Blue Raven, give these guys a raise.Chrisread more

First off, I have been looking to go solar for a while. I have spoke to about every solar company in the treasure valley. Most seem to be alright but I went with Blue Raven because they seem to be the best. The sales rep (CJ) was super friendly and very knowledgeable. Up front about everything. When it came time to sign paperwork and finalize a design, Blue Raven was very easy to work with. My system was just installed and even the install crew was amazing. There were a few things that didn’t go as planned, but they took care of everything and made it work beyond what I expected. Even left me a few boxes of LED bulbs.

Although I did not end up purchasing, I really appreciate the thoughtfulness and time of our sales representative. Mitch was very knowledgeable, professional and courteous.

The timing of investing in solar at this time did not make sense since we are planning on moving in the next couple of years.Thanks again Mitch for your time.

So far, very happy with the service I’ve received from Blue Raven Solar. Ian, the sales rep, was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. If he didn’t know the answer, he found the answer and got right back to me. I’ve been kept informed by the Blue Raven group of each step in the process and when that step has been completed. Jay and his group did a great job on the install and had it done in no time. They answered all my questions and Brennen was very patient in helping me get the Ecobee thermostat set up. My panels haven’t been “turned on” yet and I’m really looking forward to see how they perform through the winter.read more

The Blue Raven Solar team was thorough and professional from start to finish. From the salesman, Jordan, to the installation crew here in Boise, we were impressed. They took time to answer any questions we had and addressed my concerns when I raised them. They made adjustments to our array when I asked and made sure the roof structure and array were secure and sturdy. I appreciated the intermittent updates as well as we went through the whole process of city approvals and such. We are looking forward to helping the planet by harnessing solar energy!read more

Blue Raven is a great company with whom to work. They got the permits needed, upgraded the electrical panel and worked with our electrical company. Once everything was done and the panels arrived, they installed the panels in 10 hours. They were efficient, friendly and courteous. I would recommend Blue Raven to anyone who wants to switch to solar.

The Blue Raven Solar team came out today to install the solar panels on my home. Everyone at Blue Raven has been professional and courteous, and incredibly accurate about time frames for how things will progress from the beginning (evaluating the house for accurate estimates) to scheduling the installation to the actual team performing the install. The folks at Blue Raven know their stuff and have an effective and efficient process. I highly recommend them to others thinking about converting to solar power.read more

Blue Raven was great to work with from the start. They came and installed a total of 26 solar panels on Monday. They arrived right on time. All employees were friendly and courteous. They cleaned up and packed out everything they brought in. At the end of the install, they clearly went over the next steps.Would recommend Blue Raven.

The techs were friendly, explained everything that I needed to know before they left. They drilled one hole in the wrong place, but coordinated the contractor to come do the repair, I didn’t have to do anything. The sales rep and team followed up with me. Excellent on the customer service so far.The city still has to inspect and activate the system, but no problems so far

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the sales team to the support staff and installers, Blue Raven employees were professional and friendly. Everyone was very respectful of our home and time. They were handed a challenging job (42 panels) and completed it in 100+ degree temperatures. Safety was a huge priority for the team and upon completion, they ensured the job site was cleaner than they found it. We highly recommend Blue Raven and all of their staff!!

From start to finish this company has been the best telling me what to expect and nothing less. Everything they said has been the truth no lies, no deceptions of any kind. Isaiah has been the best I'm glad he came when he did and I'm going to save money and own OWN my power.

I'm not normally much for reviews, but wanted to post one here for many reasons. I work for Blue Raven, and this was the first system I sold. I wanted the full customer experience to be able to communicate that to my customers. You can say I'm like a secret shopper, except that I paid for my solar system!After about six months working for blue raven, and my system being energized for the same amount of time I'm thrilled to write a 5-star review. Blue raven is a company that stands behind its product, its customers, and does a lot of good for people financially, and for the environment. The one stand out in the company for me at installation, and continues to be from all my customers are the install crews. Jay installed my system and he is a true professional. He communicated every step of the process, was prompt, materials were waiting for him when he arrived on site and he even finished ahead of schedule. When he was done he walked me through the process and all of the equipment and left the area exactly how we found it. My customers continue to Rave about him and his crew, their efficiency and standard of work.I look forward to a long future with blue raven and helping homeowners Go Solar. I would definitely recommend blue raven for anybody, feel free to reach out and I'd be happy to see if it makes sense for your house! Jon.McPherson at BlueRavensolar.Comread more

Installers were professional and represented thier company well. Install looks great and didn't take away from what I would call the beauty of our home. The installers were also well knowledgeable and experienced so they knew exactly were to run wires so that it didn’t interfere with future home improvements.

From day one, talking to our sales rep, to the day of install, everyone has been so amazing!

The entire experience with Blue Raven has been incomparable to any other contactor we have worked with. We had a great time with Andrew during the set up process. He took the time to explain everything and made sure all our questions were answered. It was simple and comfortable. The installation process was just as simple. The entire crew, especially Levi, were extremely professional and friendly. The entire crew made sure to clean everything up afterwards. They were right on time. Installation was quick, also took the time to explain and familiarize us with the system. Definitely recommend Blue Raven if you plan to go solar.read more

Blue Raven Solar has been a great company to work with. They are knowledgeable and efficient at what they do. They did everything for us so that all we had to do was be present on the day of installation. They took care of the permit with the city, approval from our HOA, paperwork with our local power company, and scheduled the inspections. Installation took less than 5 hours with a 2 person crew. The crew was 2 very nice gentlemen that knew what they were doing and courteous to me and my children. We are excited for our final inspections to be completed and to get the system energized.read more

I was very impressed with the sales team we worked with. Not pushy, very informative, and no pressure to move forward with the sale. Communication and customer service was great throughout the process. They did make an error with the hardware required for our application, which required submitting a modified permit and delays for our installation. Even then, Blue Raven handled all the details and were very apologetic for the delays. Had it not been for the great install team, another business may have just used the parts they received and made it work. Overall I'm extremely happy with the install and looking forward to producing some energy!read more

I saw Blue Raven’s ad on Facebook and reached out to them. From the very onset, they’ve been nothing but courteous, professional and efficient in their dealings with us.

The whole process has been very efficient, and we’re now looking forward to producing our own power.

Blue Raven solar did a great job for us from start to finish. CJ Forrest, their sales rep, was our first contact with them. He was kind, courteous, easy to talk to, and explained the benefits to us without any pressure. He also went the extra mile, arranging for our old outdated solar panel to be removed. Then the install crew from Meridian did a great job in a timely manner. They were also very courteous and easy to work with. If I recall right, Jay led the install team. Overall a great experience! I would recommend Blue Raven to anyone. We are excited that our system will soon be up and running!read more

They also were diligent in cleaning up after. We will gladly refer others to this team.read more

Blue Raven installed my residential system. This was a 51 panel job on a relatively steep roof. They completed the job in 2 days with no issues. I was concerned about the possible damage to my roof but they explained the install process to me and showed me the mounting brackets for the panels and how they worked. I am impressed with their knowledge and feel comfortable about the brackets on the roof now. They have been very professional and patient with my questions and concerns throughout this process. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade to a solar system.read more

The install went very smoothly. There were minimal interruptions to my day. The crew showed up earlier than expected and completed the task in a timely and efficient manner. When they were done they explained the system to me and answered any questions I had. The employees in the office called to schedule a time for inspection shortly after the field crew showed up. The office staff also called to set up an appointment for the new thermostat installation within an hour of the install crew completing work. Overall I am extremely satisfied with the service provided by Blue Raven Solar.read more

I just completed a year of solar energy installed by Blue Raven and am completely satisfied. I did have a micro inverter go out shortly after installation on 1 panel but it was quickly repaired. The thing that worried me about solar was the cosmetic look but the panels were installed in a inconspicuous place on the roof and they matched the shingles really well. I have yet to have anyone notice the panels before seeing the sign first. The job was well thought out and the guys that did the work were very courteous and professional. I would highly recommend Blue Raven to anyone. When you see your bill from Idaho Power, you too will be satisfied!read more

Everyone at Blue Raven has been so personable from the salesperson to the guys in the field. Super surprised that we really didn’t have to lift a finger - Blue Raven contacted our HOA, the city, and the actual install was very timely. Seeing an eventual end to a power bill by some-day owning your own power is something to look forward to. Going to a renewable source of energy won’t save the world but it’ll help.

I was worried we were not going to have enough time before the winter weather hit us to have our solar panels installed. Blue Raven was able to move our scheduled install date ahead of a coming storm. The sales staff, customer care staff and installation technicians and electricians were all superb! From day one this has been one of the best experiences I’ve had from top to bottom with everyone involved. It is unnerving buying into a technology you don’t quite understand. Our sales person, Austin, explained the details of owning solar so clearly, and without the all too familiar pressure sales tactics, that I’m a true believer in the value these solar panels will bring. The installation staff were friendly and professional. They knew what they were doing and were true to their time estimates. My garage and exterior spaces were just the same when they left as before they arrived. I couldn’t be more pleased with the job they did.read more

So far Blue Raven has been exceptional quality and customer service. I had done research before talking to them, and when talking to them everything they said lined up with the research I had already done. They are very friendly and honest. Went over exactly what it would mean for me with both my power bill and bill for the solar panels. They answered all of my questions completely. When it came time for installation they were there on time and done early. The installation team was very courteous and friendly did a great job and cleaned up after themselves when they were done. So far I have zero complaints or worries with what I have got done with Blue Raven.read more

The work was done very well. Everything done in a timely matter. On the day of install, the time was set for 7:00 am and the workers did not show up until 8:15. I was a bit upset and with some communication this could have been alleviated. The only other critic I had was that the evening of the install rolled around and we noticed that it was getting cold in the house. Upon further inspection, the breaker for the furnace had been tripped and was never reset. Really, all in all I would recommend this company to any family member or friend. They were very efficient and we are very happy with everything.read more

Everything about my experience with Blue Raven was top notch. My salesman, Keith, was incredibly knowledgeable. He was helpful regarding dealing with my HOA, the placement of the panels, which we changed to avoid having them visible from the front of the house. He responded quickly to questions, even after typical business hours. Our installation crew was right on time, went over everything before they started, and helped teach me about our new smart thermostats. They cleaned up when they were done--it's as if they were never there.read more

The installation crew came promptly, extremely professional and polite. They were informative. They answered my questions thoroughly, and offered to explain the new panel mounting system to me. I had concerns about drilling holes into my newer roof. I was worried about future leaks, but their explanation of their sealing methods relieved my anxiety. When the new system was installed, the sky was overcast and the panels weren't producing. The crew leader offered to come back and double-check the system after the sky cleared. I couldn't ask for better service. Thanks for everything, guys!read more

Great company to work with. The sales person was very knowledgeable. The financial contract worked out very well. They were quick and courteous during the installation. They handled all the paperwork. The hardware has operated flawlessly and effortlessly from our standpoint. We were within 112 kWh of generating all the electricity we used for the 1st year of operation. So, let's see, at 9 cents per kWh, we purchased about $10 of electricity over the year. That is close enough in our opinion!!

Blue Raven was punctual and friendly. Overall, they respected our pricacy and asked to be let in to the house when needed and asked for a member to stay close. Our agent stopped by to ensure the installation was going smoothly and brought a little gift as gratitude for being their client. After the installation, the inspector came in and verified all was successfully done. Very pleased with Blue Raven. Highly recommend it.

I'm so pleased and happy with the whole process from start to finish!!!! From the beginning Austin Thompson the Twin Falls represenative was amazing. He absolutely made sure everything was exactly to our liking. He really listened to make sure what we need the system to perform now and what we need it to do the future would be correct. The installation crew was Phenomenal. Very friendly, professional, and courteous. The crew even reworked some of the panels to fit all of them on the main house instead of splitting it between the main house and guesthouse saving us money and increasing our wattage!

The installation was fast, about 5 hours, and that's including time for unexpected needs. Great explanation of all the electrical boxes they put in. It was raining and those guys were fine standing there talking to me to make sure all my questions were answered, awesome!!!Great company to be with, thank you!

Blue Raven’s courteous, helpful, and competent installation team set in place my solar panels/system quickly and efficiently. They took the time to answer all my questions and offered detailed and appropriate explanations. So far good!

I had my system installed last August and it's been life changing! My electricity bill is on average $5. This was my first winter, running my gas furnace, Christmas lights and a space heater downstairs, my highest bill was $25.00. Well worth my investment. Customer service is really good. Real people. Real answers. No salesman mentality. They really do honestly see if the system works for your house at your location and you ultimately make the decision if you want to go ahead. I am really happy I did. Thank you Blue Raven 💙.read more

We love our solar panels! We built with a south-facing roof specifically to place solar panels on them. They look great on the roof, and they are producing the amount of power that was expected. The installation team was very professional and did a great job!

I honestly thought we would never go solar. I work in the mines and solar does not help my line of work by any means but I can’t stand Idaho power so we decided to take a look. Way cheaper than I thought. We pay a monthly bill that is about the same as what we were paying and there is a bunch of options to help you switch over that work for really anyone. You’re paying a bill anyways, we just see an end to ours now! All of our friends are making the switch as well we are all pretty happy!

Super happy with our system thus far. Easy to make the switch thought it was going to take awhile but we were only without power for maybe 4 hours. We haven’t had a power bill in 6 months now and it is such a relief. We are terrible at remembering to pay bills as we travel a lot so this is a serious blessing. It was way more cost effective than we imagined and it’s pretty cool to own your own power source. Thanks Blue Raven!

The Blue Raven team has been professional, solicitous, and helpful every step of the way. I'm now at the 6 month mark of using solar power and I'm very glad we did so.Special thanks to our sales contact, River, he's been patient, responsive, and knowledgeable every step of the way.My solar powered house is awesome! Keep up the good work!

Complete system installed before noon.... Amazing!!Works better than promised, and no $ up front. All for no more cost per month than my average electric bill. Very satisfying!

It is really great seeing a ZERO-ED out bill come from Idaho Power. I have a “no soliciting” sign on my front porch, but this nice girl convinced me I needed to see my options. She was right. Mr. Surbeck was pleasant to work with as well as the install crew who were all very polite and worked fast. Panels actually look better than I imagined, they are not blue like my neighbors, I am extremely pleased with the look. It’s been 3 months, we are very happy! Recommending to all family and friends.read more

We love having the power company send us our bill online each month and to see that the amount of our bill is: $0.00. We have not paid a power bill in many months and it makes us glad we had the solar panels installed. The selling point for us is to think of the difference in renting your home or buying it. We are our own power company. It is great!!

Working with Blue Raven Solar and the Boise team to convert our home to solar was a fantastic experience! This company has the implementation steps down to a science. From sales, to customer service, scheduling, and the install team, everyone was so polite, professional, and treated us great! You work hand-in-hand with the implementation leader who comes to your home and gives an analysis and design of what your house would require for a conversion, explains all the benefits (including tax rebates), and details out every step of what's to come. They do all the paperwork with the city, your HOA, and Idaho Power, which saved us all the hassle. It honestly couldn't have been any easier for us. We're extremely pleased and so happy to have made the switch with Blue Raven! Thank you!read more

We are very pleased with the service we have received from Blue Raven. They provided an an expected timeline for the installation and kept us fully informed as to what steps had been completed. The installation was very easily accomplished with minimal effort on our part. All of the required paperwork was completed electronically, Blue Raven took care of the permitting with the city , the HOA and the approval process with Idaho Power. The installation crew showed up at the promised time and completed the installation with minimal disruption and left the work site clean. They arranged for the swap out of the meter and the activation of the system. They have done an excellent job of keeping us up to date with emails and phone calls during the installation and with follow up calls.read more

Great experience from start to finish! Can't wait to have my panels energized so I can stop being held captive by retail utility rates. Glad to finally be in control of my energy costs! Highly recommended!

Our experience with Blue Raven has been excellent. We are 6 months in with our system and could not be happier. For those reading through some of the other less than stellar comments I would just suggest that you listen and ask questions while the great Blue Raven team explains all of the details. There is a lot to digest when considering going with solar but I was impressed with the patience both during and after the sale with questions and clarifications we needed to feel comfortable with our investment. It has been great for us. We installed in the spring (which I highly recommend if possible) so we were able to build up our energy credits right away. Regardless of when you install it is a long term investment that has been paying off for us.read more

I would definitely recommend Blue Raven Solar. We had a most fantastic experience with our sales person River Skinner, that dude deserves a five star rating and a bonus..... however everyone on the team helped make our project/install run smoothly and quickly. We had all of our questions answered in quick fashion and our install took less than half a day.

Starting from the person at the door, to my sales representative, to getting panels installed on my roof. The process has been nothing short of spectacular. I didn’t have to do anything, they took care of it all. Since then I’ve never had a power bill which was 4 months ago. I will recommend to anyone, and I have referred multiple friends. Thanks Blue Raven for all you do.

Our only regret is that we didn’t do this sooner. Blue raven did a great job keeping us informed and the install went great. We have went 4 months without a power bill.

simply “The Best” polite, helpful, informative, and honest. I am impressed with the looks of the install, the quality of product and most of all the savings provided

I work for Blue Raven Solar, and love my job. The level of professionalism that I see at every level is incredible. The customer service team is on top each issue quickly, the installers are respectful, and the canvassers do an amazing job creating appointments for my team and I. For a full-service solar company it doesn’t get any better. Don’t hesitate to give us a call and see if solar is a good fit for you and your house!

Going Solar through Blue Raven was a very simple and easy process. No headaches! It took two and a half months or so from start to finish. They took care of contacting our HOA and the city for permits and inspection, which took the longest. The install itself took a day. Needless to say, they are a great option if you are considering to go solar.
