Profile Draft
Raven Solar Services is a St. George–based residential solar contractor founded by longtime local resident Randy Ventura, who is described on the company site and on his LinkedIn profile as having more than eleven years in the solar industry before launching the business under his own name. The company operates from a Silicon Way office in St. George and serves Washington and Iron counties, with the published service footprint running from St. George north to Cedar City and the surrounding Southern Utah communities.
Raven's published service line is squarely 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. The company lists working relationships with EcoFlow, Enphase, EG4 Electronics, Fortress Power, and Open Solar — a stack consistent with a hybrid grid-tied/battery installer rather than a utility-scale shop. There is no public marketing of commercial or large-array work.
Ownership presents the company as owner-operator and locally rooted, leaning on Ventura's personal name, phone, and email in customer-facing channels rather than a regional sales team. The site references "licensed installers" and the BBB carries an active business profile, but a specific Utah DOPL contractor license number is not published on the public-facing site, so the licensure posture should be confirmed directly with the owner. Customer feedback aggregated on Google (surfaced via the brand site and Yelp) sits at 4.9 stars across roughly 45 reviews, with same-day and after-hours availability advertised.
For the 435 Alliance register, Raven reads as a clean fit: small, owner-operated, physically headquartered in St. George, and visibly serving the 435 corridor up to Cedar City. There is no out-of-state parent and no evidence of a national lead-gen relationship; one customer testimonial mentions a Las Vegas job, but no permanent Nevada operation is claimed.
Unresolved Questions
- Confirm Utah DOPL license type and number (S202 solar PV vs. general electrical E200) and whether install crews carry NABCEP PV Installation Professional credentials.
- Confirm whether install crews are W-2 employees of Raven Solar Services or subcontracted electricians.
- Confirm legal entity (Raven Solar Services, LLC vs. Raven Solar, LLC) and current Utah Secretary of State good-standing status.
- Year founded: site says "longtime" experience but does not state a founding year for the LLC; secondary source cites Dec 2020 / Feb 2022 — needs owner confirmation.
- Commercial capacity: website is residential-leaning; ask whether they take commercial or agricultural jobs.
