Blue Sky Solar - Profile & Reviews

I began my solar experience with another company. I decided I needed to look around and found Blue Sky Solar. I'm glad I did. The initial meeting surpassed the other company and my decision was made. Throughout the process the communication was seamless. I always knew what was going on, where my project was and what the next step was. Almost the entire process was done via email with very minimal phone calls. Personally I liked it that way because I work graveyards and could respond to emails easier than phone calls. The product is top of the line, the install was completed in a day and the follow-up was completed shortly after that. Blue Sky knew what they were doing and planned everything from A to Z. I didn't have to worry about anything. Overall it was a great experience with efficiency and great communication. If you are looking into solar, check out Blue Sky Solar!

When I was looking into installing solar panels, I looked at about 10 different companies in the Salt Lake Area, and did a ton of research on what I should expect to generate/use, so I went in to this with certain expectations which Blue Sky Solar met and exceeded. The sales staff (I worked with Trent) was very informative and at no point did I feel under any pressure to choose something I didn't already know I wanted based on my own research. Some of the other 10 companies I looked at either tried to upsell me, or just weren't as responsive to my questions/concerns. Once I was ready to move forward with installation, they were extremely flexible, and worked with me to find a payment plan that worked with my timing but also reduced my overall cost. Once installation began, I started working with a project manager (Felisha) at Blue Sky who was just as flexible and responsive to my (numerous) questions. She did a great job making sure everything came together by my deadline, and even drove all the way from Layton at the last minute to meet with the city inspector to open up some of the electrical panels.

I'm four months into using my system, and production is very close to what they (and I) estimated it to be. I was able to get the slightly more efficient REC-Alpha Blacks at a great price and am thrilled with the system so far. The Alpha Blacks are slimmer and look really nice on my roof, and have a slightly better lifespan and efficiency than some of the other panel options. While most companies will provide a similar option for the panels themselves, it's hard to imagine anyone would have been as easy to work with as Blue Sky (or as affordable). If we ever move, or when it's time to replace them in 30 years, I will definitely reach out to Blue Sky again!

I had been thinking about solar for some time. When my salesman gave me a quote and explained how it works, I was for sure interested. He was well informed and had all my answers. One of my concerns is the way the panels look on roofs. I had been paying attention to homes with solar. I didn't like the panels looking like a tetris game on your roof. When I got my quote and layout, it was fantastic. They placed the panels on a detached garage and a dormer on the house. You cant even see the panels as it takes up the whole space of the roof tops, Very impressive. Another concern was if I was asked questions during the installation, I hoped I had answers . My installer came, did all the work very quickly without a question. My only job was to flip the on switch once the meter was changed out. This had to be one of the easiest improvements I have done. I received emails and calls on every step that was going to happen, I was well informed. I would highly recommend this company. I am a Very satisfied customer

Blue sky solar designed and installed a solar system on my home. From the initial contact the company has done an excellent job. They did all of the necessary paperwork for permits, rebates and loan documents. They kept me informed about progress. I am very pleased with the entire project. If you are thinking about solar give Blue Sky Solar a call.

Great job quick installation and good people!

Solar is a great way to create clean power and hedge against inflation. The people with Blue Star were friendly and excellent to work with! Everything with the install was planned and scheduled with our convince in mind. It's a great feeling knowing your helping to save the environment for future generations while at the same time no longer working about rising power costs. I highly recommend Blue Sky Solar.

I chose Blue Sky Solar because they were the company most responsive to my initial inquiries. They acted from the first meeting like they were eager to install the panels and would be there to teach me about the process. When the ground crew came to install the panels they quickly and efficiently went to work and took pictures of the process so I could have them for my files. The women running all of the phone and computer aspects were constantly in touch and I'm confident that they will be there with information if I need help. I am impressed with this young company and wish them much success.

My entire process was easy and no pressure. The system I got looks great and my sales rep has been there through the whole process to help me. Love our new system

I found Blue Sky Solar after a friend told me about Energy Sage. Blue Sky was one of the first companies to reach out to me and give me an offer. I was going to sign with another company (until I heard of energy sage) and entered my information. Blue Sky was one of many that reached out but was offering a much better system at a much better price.
Blue Sky saved me over $6,000 dollars on a system and I got better panels at a better price.

Thank you Blue Sky Solar! And thank you Energy Sage!

I recently had solar installed at my home residence by Blue Sky Solar (July 2020) and wanted to write a review. I first heard of Blue Sky Solar through a community Facebook page in my area where someone had asked about solar and inquired on a quality company. I had pondered solar over the years so i followed the post to see who people recommended, many stated Blue Sky Solar was great, quality work, reasonable pricing. So I contacted them. The next day, Brett and his team came by the house to explain to myself and answer any questions I may have, which was many. They were upfront on the lengthy process it was, and the inspections required by the city and the power company. I was informed on the incredible tax breaks I could receive along with the net-metering processes through the power company currently. I provided the information required to determine the size of system I would require for my home. Within a few days, a design layout of the panels on my roof was provided along with cost of the system for my house. Also, financing options were provided. Brett was always in contact and letting me know where we were in the process and what i could expect next. When it came to the installation, the crew was top notch and knew exactly what they were doing. It was the hottest part of the summer and these guys were on top of the roof, in the attic, getting the job done. The crew had even recommended some roof fans to remove the heat out of the attic to preserve my roof for many more years to come. They also installed those fans as well. The solar panels I received were top of the line equipment (i looked them up on YouTube, REC Alpha 360AA Black). The panels looked amazing, thin, sleek and all black. I was treated as a VIP throughout the entire process and was even given some nice fireworks for the 4th of July as a gift as well. I would recommend Brett and his team at Blue Sky Solar for your solar needs. These guys rocked, if there was something i needed, phone calls were made and Brett made it happen. Thanks again to Blue Sky Solar for a job well done.

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.
