Overview
Blue Raven Solar has earned one of the strongest reputations in the Mountain West and Midwest residential solar market since 2014, built on two pillars: installation quality and its proprietary BluePower Plus+ financing product. BluePower Plus+ is an 18-month, interest-free bridge financing structure that covers the early period before federal and state tax credit refunds arrive — effectively meaning homeowners can install with no out-of-pocket cost during the first year-and-a-half, then apply their tax credit return to the loan balance.
The company does not offer lease or PPA products, reflecting a philosophical commitment to system ownership. For homeowners who qualify for purchase financing, the combination of ownership economics and bridge financing makes the math work well. Blue Raven was acquired by SunPower in 2021 but continues to operate independently under its own brand.
