Raven Solar Services

Randy Ventura spent more than eleven years installing solar in Southern Utah before launching Raven Solar Services under his own name. He is a longtime St. George resident, and the company runs out of 1487 S Silicon Way, A4 Suite 5 in St. George — the small-trades office cluster off River Road. BBB lists Ventura under his full first name, Randolf, and the LinkedIn profile lines up. The phone is 435-525-3060.

A Local Owner-Operator in a Market Full of Lead-Gen Brands

Solar in Southern Utah is dominated by national lead-generation outfits — companies that buy clicks in Phoenix or Salt Lake, route the customer to a local subcontractor, and disappear once the install is done. Raven is the opposite shape. The owner’s name is on every customer touch — phone, email, site copy — and the install crews work locally rather than out of a regional dispatch hub. That is the signal worth weighting for a homeowner trying to find a solar contractor who will still answer the phone in year five when the inverter throws a fault code.

Services and Equipment Stack

Published services are residential and small-scale: rooftop PV design and installation, battery backup, EV charger installation, off-grid systems, panel cleaning, and post-install repair and maintenance. Equipment relationships listed include EcoFlow, Enphase, EG4 Electronics, Fortress Power, and Open Solar — a stack consistent with a hybrid grid-tied and battery installer, not a utility-scale shop. Commercial or large-array work is not advertised.

Service Area

The published footprint runs Washington and Iron counties — St. George up through Cedar City and the surrounding Southern Utah communities. One customer testimonial mentions a Las Vegas job, but no permanent Nevada operation is claimed. The reach matches the size of the company; an owner-led shop genuinely covering Cedar City is meaningful, and a great many self-described regional solar installers in the 435 do not actually drive that far.

Licensing Note

The site references “licensed installers” but does not publish a Utah DOPL contractor license number. BBB carries an active business profile (file 1166-90042674), though the BBB detail page returned 403 to direct fetch. Independent records show the LLC formed somewhere between December 2020 and February 2022, with a separate Colorado-foreign “Raven Solar, LLC” surfacing in opengov data — that is not the same entity and should not be conflated.

Raven in the 435

For the 435 register, Raven is a clean fit: small, owner-operated, physically headquartered in St. George, no out-of-state parent, no national lead-gen relationship. License number and crew structure are the gaps to close before a public listing relies on them.
