Blue Sky Solar - Profile & Reviews

From sales through the install team to the finalization, I have been very pleased with Blue Sky Solar. I received a real education by everyone. They were responsive to all my questions and concerns. It has been a true pleasure.

My wife and I recently had rooftop solar installed on our home by Blue Sky Solar. This organization provided incredible service from the initial meeting to the final installation. There were multiple people on the team providing timely and clear communications on everything from financing, tax credits, timelines, installation procedures, and expected energy production. Everything about the process was laid out very clearly from the beginning and every question we had along the way was answered quickly and clearly. The cost that was determined at the very beginning was, down to the penny, the cost I paid at the end. We were also very impressed with the installation team. They were very friendly, conscientious, and also took the time to answer questions and point out the important features of the install and system. They arrived on the day and at the time promised and installed the system in half a day. Finally, Blue Sky sets you up with a great monitoring system so you can use your computer or phone to keep track of your production over time and make you feel extra good about yourself!! Thank you so much, Trent, Peggy, Felisha, Monica and everyone else at Blue Sky! We won't hesitate to recommend Blue Sky to anyone and everyone interested in adding solar to their home or business.

Follow up to the initial review from January 2020: Nice job by Blue Sky as far as getting the panels installed, but really poor support and resolution of problems afterward. After a week of phone support (?) the panels came on line, but since then, and as initially reported four months ago, the software that tells us the status of the panels still doesn't work. No one has been at the site since the installation, despite many phone calls and emails with lots of details about what is NOT working. All I got was a phone call a few months ago telling me that you were not very familiar with this new version of the software and that the issues would be resolved by remote control of the panels, or that someone would be here to fix the problems. So now, four months later, things haven't changed (duh?); no one ever came to investigate the problems. Twenty panels don't report any status until they've been in direct sunlight for six or seven hours. Only a few of the screens in the software actually correspond to what's on our system, so that's pretty much useless. There is no matching grid to correspond the serial numbers of the panels to their physical location. There is now comparison of the energy being used at the panel and what is being produced by the panels (maybe a shortcoming of our metering system, but who knows - all I've heard from Blue Sky is that "this is new software and we're not familiar with it yet..." We have no confidence in the software, no confidence that it's functioning correctly, and honestly, have great concerns about what will happen if something fails (though I'm not sure how we'll even know if that happens). We've complained to Energy Trust of Oregon and will try to spread the word that Blue Sky Solar is unreliable. We are just hoping that our utility company is capable of keeping track of whatever benefit we're providing to the grid, because otherwise, we don't have a clue. I strongly suggest that anyone looking for a PV system not use Blue Sky Solar and perhaps not even using the "Enphase", "Enlighten".... En**** whatever products. I really don't know if these guys are just a bunch of marketing bullshit**s artists or what - it's hard to tell anymore. They've (Blue Sky) just sent me a follow up customer satisfaction survey and, thanks to the SIP orders due to COVID, I have time to say what I want: Good luck on doing your part to provide alternate energy for the planet, just don't get ripped off or get schmoozed by some patronizing salesperson that's "not familiar" with the software.

Update to comments: We've discovered on our own that there is an update to the software that is supposed to be monitoring the panels. It's better now, or at least it seems to be. Strange that we had to hunt down the update ourselves. Again, the main complaint with Blue Sky is/was their lack of follow-through. It's almost like once they got paid, that's the end of their obligation. Hopefully the system works reliably, but we'll just have to hope for that, since there's little expectation that our installer will be there if something fails.

This was easier than I could have imagined. They were clear, responsive, prompt and polite. The entire process was amazing. We are very happy to be producing our own clean energy! I would recommend them to ANYONE!

The Team and Blue Sky Solar from start to finish was great. Trent came out to inspect the home and provide an estimate of solar production and viability. His energy and passion for Solar really shines through and helps eliminate any unease you may have.

Second steps were having the solar installers out who work with Blue Sky, those guys were friendly and passionate about solar also. Respectful of my space and time and really showed the quality of people they were.

During the permitting / design / project prep work the office team did a great job at keeping me informed of the steps and what is coming, along with processing all the paperwork as quickly as they could. I expected the time from start to finish to take significantly longer, we were able to schedule the install before the end of the year to gain the max benefit of the federal rebates!

During install the same installers from the inspection came out to do the work, and they did a great job, solar went online 1/8 after all inspections passed.

I would absolutely recommend Blue Sky Solar for taking care of your solar needs!

We had a great experience with BlueSky solar. We spent a year looking for a company to install solar and ended up choosing them. Their salesperson was professional, knowledgeable and, most importantly, completely no-pressure.

We chose to go with a slightly larger than average system due to high energy use. The prices were reasonable and we received a discount on our system since they weren't guaranteeing install by the end of the year. We were very happy that everything was finished before the end of the year.

The project managers were very quick to respond to questions and even though we had a couple frustrating scheduling snafu's the system was completely installed within a couple of days and the staff fixed any issues right away. The install crew was clean-cut, professional and worked hard through some awful wind and rain to get the system put in.

I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for solar.

I have nothing but high praise for Blue Sky Solar. They have communicated through every step of the process. They have answered all questions I have had. The install crew was very polite, personable and quick. Blue Sky Solar has made this a very pleasant experience. I highly recommend this company.

I contacted Blue Sky Solar online and they sent over a rep to take a look at our house. The entire experience was easy and straightforward. I'd highly recommend them. The installation crew did a great job as well. Their office staff was quick to respond to any questions I had.

The whole process went extremely smoothly and trouble free. From the free consultation where an evaluation of system size, energy production and system cost was performed, to the installation that took about half a day. They took care of all the permitting and applications for the power company, financing, city permits and inspection. Everything was handled over DocuSign and was completely painless. For my system the monthly payment came out to the same cost as my electric bill. Why not pay towards an asset that has value rather than just to the power company?

We had a great experience working with Blue Sky Solar. They communicated well, were very responsive to any questions that came up and helpful in every step of the way. It is very clear they work hard for their customers and want what is best for them. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking to do solar!

They were really helpful in the whole process. They took care of all the permits, contacts between the city, power company, and getting all the designs and shipping of the solar panels/equipment. Any question or concerns I had they were really open to call or email them anytime to help. Would recommend.

I can say nothing but the best about this company. They went above and beyond for customer service, PRICE, and follow up. I actually quoted four companies before I went with them and by the end of the process I felt so sure that they were the right ones to purchase from. I have asked many times follow-up questions and they have been answer every single time. This company is true to their word, provides a great product and continues to provide great customer service to all of us!

One of the best decisions I've ever made! And Brett from Blue Sky Solar was a BIG factor! Had been on the fence for.a.few years. He was very infornpmativeand helped me see the benefits of solar.

I worked with Brett Ornelas to get our solar. He was very professional and easy to work with. He answered all my questions and kept me in the loop throughout the whole process.
