We found what amounts to a shell operation: Blue Sky Solar started installations, collected payments, then vanished. One homeowner paid in full in August 2020 and was still waiting 16 months later when the company disconnected the panels and stopped answering calls. Another discovered in 2023 that Blue Sky never even pulled permits for the system installed in 2019, blocking them from adding capacity. The pattern is consistent: get financing approved, begin work, demand payments upfront, disappear when problems surface. We counted 14 reviewers who described being unable to reach the company after installation issues arose. The business phone numbers now reject calls entirely. Two reviews mention installations that raised electricity bills instead of lowering them, and multiple customers describe the owner Dan Mestas personally ignoring completion requests. Three older reviews praised responsive service and completed projects, but those date to 2020 and 2022. Everything since then shows abandonment. If you're considering this contractor, know that recent customers report they can't get basic follow-up, let alone warranty repairs.
If you need a solar contractor you can contact after installation, cross Blue Sky off your list immediately. Recent reviews show the company stops responding once they've been paid, leaving systems incomplete and permits unfiled.
Hangster started a home solar installation in August 2020 and by December 2021 the system still wasn’t finished. They ended up being charged for nearly every step, then watched the company disconnect the panels in early November with a promise to reconnect them in two weeks — that reconnection never happened. After a painfully slow initial install, their electric bills climbed instead of falling. They were told to switch to an electric provider that “recognizes solar credits,” and after making the switch the monthly bill swelled to about three times what it had been before the panels. They dealt directly with owner Dan Mestas and found the interaction focused on securing payments rather than fixing the problems. The striking takeaway: months of delays, forced payments, and a disconnection that left them paying far more — the unresolved reconnection and tripled bills are the details a buyer should watch for.
Sheryl B discovered the trouble when she tried to follow up with Blue Sky Solar and Roofing years after they installed her system in 2019. She ended up needing additional panels because the original install didn’t provide enough capacity, but the new installer can’t move forward — Blue Sky never purchased the required permit back in 2019, so the upgrade is blocked. She tried calling and texting the company, but the phone numbers won’t accept calls or messages; she plans to email but expects little response. The concrete takeaway: the project remains stalled not from equipment or pricing, but from a missing permit and a company that’s unreachable, leaving her responsible for purchasing more panels and sorting out paperwork she assumed had been handled.
Alberto A hired the company to install solar panels on his home about a year ago and discovered the installation was never finished. He ended up with a partly installed system while the installer stopped answering phone calls and emails. The crew began work before obtaining permits from the city and the utility, which left the project stuck in limbo. He also found the company accepted money through a third‑party financing company but still failed to complete the job. After a door‑to‑door sales approach, he cautions others to avoid signing a deal—a year later the panels remain unfinished and the company is unresponsive.

Chip had a mountain home with a roof from 1994 and didn’t want to mount 39 panels on that old timber, so he worked with Blue Sky to bundle a roof replacement and a solar installation into one package. He found the crew responsive and unfazed by the trip up into the mountains; they handled the logistics and physically made the climb without issue. The project stretched longer than expected because permitting and inspections dragged on — delays beyond the crew’s control — but the team kept pushing and coordinated the work so everything wrapped up by year‑end. He ended up with a new roof, a solar array, and the tax credit intact, and the most memorable part of the job was that Blue Sky offered a practical combo solution rather than forcing a compromise on an aging roof.

Edwin G. connected with an easygoing, knowledgeable team who guided him through the choices until he settled on the right solar setup for his home. He now spends less on electricity and sells surplus energy back to the grid, converting extra production into payments. The detail that stands out is that patient, smart guidance — it turned a complicated decision into both immediate savings and ongoing sell-back revenue.

Isidro P signed up for a residential solar plan with a $469 monthly payment and discovered the panels developed a problem soon after. He tried repeatedly to get the company to come fix them; representatives promised a visit that never happened, and the company's phone number later showed as out of service. With the panels underperforming, his electric bill stayed nearly the same, so the $469 solar payment plus electricity pushed his monthly outlay to more than $800 for almost a year. He still doesn't have a copy of his contract and has been unable to reach anyone to resolve the issue. The lasting image is clear: months of overlapping bills and no reliable way to get repairs or paperwork from the installer.
Feyzi P took out a loan to have solar panels installed on his home and discovered the contractors took the loan money but never finished the installation. He couldn't get a hold of the crew after payment, and the project remains incomplete. He ended up owing a subcontractor $14,000 while the loan complications and unfinished work remain unresolved. The lasting image from his experience: a half-done solar job and a large unpaid subcontractor bill of $14,000.
John K paid nearly $96,000 for a new solar-plus-battery system for his home and then watched months slip by with no updates and no installation. After about six months he started getting billed by the bank for the system that still hadn’t been put in place. Communication broke down: the project manager ignored his calls and messages, so he had to reach the owner, who explained delays were due to parts being out of stock — a problem John felt shouldn’t happen when a solution is sold up front. The system finally went up two months ago, but the crew never filed the necessary paperwork with the energy company, never delivered the backup generator he had paid for, and never gave him the login credentials for monitoring. Last month his bill dropped by only $74 even though he was out of town for two weeks, so he doubts the installation is actually producing much. He’s left with a paid-for system that lacks the promised hardware, utility registration, and access — and a very small savings that makes him question whether the setup is functioning as intended.
Ana P. contrató un sistema de paneles para su vivienda y se encontró pagando dos veces: la factura de la luz y la cuota del sistema, alrededor de casi $700 al mes, durante casi un año. Ella se enfrentó a un equipo que dejó de funcionar repetidamente y a técnicos que jamás aparecieron a repararlo, mientras su recibo de luz seguía subiendo. Un agente llamado Carlos prometió reembolsar lo que habían pagado por la electricidad, pero nunca cumplió esa devolución. Además, intentó comunicarse sin éxito: no encontró números de contacto, los correos electrónicos no funcionaban y no había otro agente disponible. La imagen que quedó fue clara y dolorosa: facturas muy altas—casi $700 al mes—y un sistema fuera de servicio sin nadie que respondiera ni reparara.
Long-term satisfaction for Blue Sky Solar and Roofing drops to 1.0 ★ compared to early reviews. This decline is worse than 63% of installers we looked at.
Long-term reviews carry the most weight in our methodology because they are most representative of what you should be paying for: a system that will perform for years.
