Anyone who has stepped foot in the Beehive State can agree that Utah’s landscape is breathtaking. The mountains, arches, Canyonlands, waterfalls, valleys and lakes make Utah every outdoor-lover’s paradise.
In the winter, Utah attracts thousands of tourists to ski the “Best Snow on Earth,” and in the summer, Utahns and visitors enjoy hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, swimming, and boating. Utah residents also enjoy a relatively low cost of living along with low crime rates and a booming economy. If the Beehive State loves the outdoors and saving money, it’s no wonder that more and more people are choosing to switch to clean, renewable energy!
Utah is set to install 17 times the amount of solar panels they’ve installed over the last five years. As a part of the Great Basin desert region of the United States, Utah receives lots of sunlight and not a lot of precipitation, making it a perfect candidate for homeowners to purchase solar panels and generate their own power.
Knowing if solar ownership, lease, or a power purchase agreement (PPA) is the best option for your home can be difficult and confusing. While other solar companies lease out their solar panels and reap all of the financial benefits and tax credits, Blue Raven Solar ensures it’s the homeowner benefiting most from their solar panels. Whether you buy your solar panels outright or decide to finance them, owning your panels will allow you, the homeowner, to save thousands of dollars on your monthly utility bill and tax credits.

SOLAR SAVINGS IN UTAH
Blue Raven Solar’s headquarters are located in Orem, Utah, and we love calling the Beehive State our home. There’s so much to do year-round, from swimming, hiking, and biking in the summer to skiing or snowboarding in the winter, Utah’s mountain landscape is every adventure seeker’s ideal playground. Our corporate and field teams in Utah are some of the best people who are dedicated to helping the state go green by making the switch to clean, renewable energy and keeping our air clean.
Here at Blue Raven Solar, we know deciding whether a solar system is right for your home usually involves a lot of number crunching and research. To go solar, it has to make sense financially for a homeowner’s specific situation. And if you live in Utah, which is known for the best snow on earth, it might not strike most people as a great place to have solar. But, many people forget that Utah is a desert and receives more than the average annual sunlight for the United States. Even in the winter, many days are cold and very sunny, which is the perfect environment for solar panels to produce power efficiently (the best internal temperature for a solar panel ranges from about 40 °F to 55 °F. This means that the ideal weather for solar panel efficiency is no clouds, wind, and low temperatures). With plenty of sun throughout the year, many homeowners in Utah are hopping on the solar train and saving hundreds on their monthly electricity bills.
NET METERING
Most Utahns use Rocky Mountain Power, who utilizes a net metering program that buys back any excess electricity for a slightly lower than retail rate in exchange for credits to use during less sunny months. Other utilities offer similar net metering rates.
STATE TAX CREDIT
Utah is one of the few states that offers a solar tax credit. Utah’s particular credit allows solar buyers to be eligible for a credit worth 25% of the purchase and installation costs of their system. The credit maxes out at $400 for systems installed in 2023.
SOLAR EASEMENT
Solar easement laws make it so that you can enter into an agreement with your neighbor, allowing you to have continued access to sunshine.
With the Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) of 30% and local incentives, Utah residents 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!
SOLAR SAVES MORE THAN MONEY
Another aspect to consider when you decide to go solar is the impact it can make on the environment. In its lifetime, the average residential solar system will offset the energy produced by burning over 80 tons of coal or 175 tons of carbon dioxide. The energy generated is also equivalent to planting 4,000 trees. So yes, solar panels make an impact and help our planet, and you can feel good knowing that you are making a difference.

“This process was very simple start to finish. All design details and cost were laid out from the beginning. The installation team was respectful, friendly, and quick. Blue Raven took care of all the permits and HOA approvals. This process was so smooth – unlike a previous solar system installation experience we had. At the beginning of the year, we also received a call to remind us to claim our tax credit when filing taxes! I would definitely recommend Blue Raven!”

“Blue Raven folks were courteous, professional, and informative from start to finish. Don explained financial and system details thoroughly. The company took care of all requirements — recommending an excellent roofing contractor, getting permits, HOA approval, and installation of the system. They kept us informed of status via email throughout. The installers were professional, quick, and very helpful explaining all the system including setup of new smart thermostats. They also were diligent in cleaning up after. We will gladly refer others to this team.”

“Free power!
When we bought our first home in Colorado 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!”

“I wasn’t sure that adding solar to my house made sense, but the Blue Raven salesman showed me how it would work and what a good deal it would be. Blue Raven showed me how their installation was affordable and made financial sense. I was also impressed with the quality of their materials and the overall system projected performance. Their process worked smoothly even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. They used safe practices during the installation and were ALWAYS prompt, arriving when they said they would and finishing on time. While we did have a bit of a delay from the original timeline because of permits and inspections, that part of the process was beyond Blue Raven’s control. Now that the system is up and running, I couldn’t be happier.”

I'm super happy with Blue Raven so far. My experience with everyone through the process has been fantastic so far.I compared several solar... companies before deciding to have my solar done through Blue Raven. Jake, the sales rep I worked with really helped me understand what I needed and what I was getting into. He also helped in making sure the Blue Raven quote I got was very competitive compared to some of the other companies I got quotes from.Everything moved very quickly too and I was able to have my install done about 4 weeks after I agreed to have solar installed. The install went very quickly and the installers, Austin, Ricky, and Dalton were great as well.I'm hoping that over time, I'll be happy with my system.read more

As we know, first impressions are critical… I had the best first impression with Blue Raven. Out all the solar companies that contacted me, Blue... Raven was the first one and also the fastest one. I had two initial appointments, first one explaining how the solar program worked in my state and to scope out the place, second one was to explain numbers, type of system, and price of course. I didn’t really lift a finger, my house was a newly built home so wasn’t showing on the map but didn’t stop blue Raven the looked at a similar model like ours around the area (thanks to the photos they took) and use it to build our panel array.I don’t want to put anyone on blast but let’s just say the other asked me for pictures and some other stuff. Pricing, Blue Raven was actually the cheapest one and also one of the two that used the 400w panels and the newest inverter possible and still came out cheaper than the rest, at around $85/month for 25 years with a warranty of 20 years. Unfortunately the battery was out of our payment range at the moment but even then the price and monthly payment was still cheaper than others. After signing the contract and installing process started I had someone from Blue Raven checking up on me and giving me updates, great customer quality/experience!The installation of the system was done in about 10hrs (super fast), the only downside was our power company and the city, they took a while but unfortunately Blue Raven has no control over that. I am not trying to hold that against them, on the contrary, they still check up on me, giving updates on what they were waiting on. That was probably the longest and tedious part of the process, but that’s how permits work, they can take a while.The one thing or step I would’ve love them to add ,if possible, is to have someone come in and set it up for you but also explain it so we would know how to troubleshoot. I am pretty tech-savvy guy and you do get some instructions and videos to turn it on and set up but I had issues, but I was able to figure it out. Other than that, System has worked great even on the “not so sunny days”.read more
