Summary

Blue Raven Solar is a residential solar installation business founded in 2014, acquired by SunPower Corp. in 2021 for up to $165 million cash, then sold through SunPower's 2024 Chapter 11 process to Complete Solaria, Inc. — the registrant that now trades as SunPower Inc. (CIK 0001838987) (2021 acquisition PR, 2024 bankruptcy PR, 2024 buyer 8-K).

The lead's ownership endpoint ("acquired by SunPower in 2021") is incomplete: SunPower Corp. entered Chapter 11 in August 2024, and Blue Raven's operating business was a stalking-horse asset in that sale. blueravensolar.com now redirects to us.sunpower.com, which lists 1403 N Research Way, Orem, UT 84097 (official site capture).

Impact

SunPower's 2021 release called Blue Raven one of the fastest growing residential solar providers in the U.S. and cited 93% revenue CAGR — SunPower's announcement language, not an independent ranking (2021 PR). The Utah tie is Orem operations continuing under the post-bankruptcy SunPower Inc. shell rather than a standalone Utah startup brand today.

The ownership chain matters for anyone citing "Blue Raven was acquired by SunPower" in 2026: SunPower Corp. (CIK 0000867773) is not the same ongoing registrant as SunPower Inc. (CIK 0001838987) after the bankruptcy. Blue Raven survived as a division/business line bought out of Chapter 11, not as an independent company.

Bet: that a Utah County D2C installer with its own software stack (SunPower filings reference Albatross CRM separately from Blue Raven) could integrate into a national brand — if bankruptcy sales do not strip the operating culture that made the unit grow.

Utah Context

Orem is the documented operating address on the current SunPower-branded site capture. The company's 2014 founding in SunPower's telling is national D2C solar, with Utah as the visible headquarters node after acquisition — not "Provo startup" in the primary text (founding city not stated in the 2021 PR beyond "founded in 2014").

What They Need Now

Public careers/marketing on the SunPower-branded site emphasize residential sales, installation, and field operations; no separate Blue Raven careers URL was verified on capture. See https://us.sunpower.com/ for current postings.

Open Questions

  • Final bankruptcy sale order vs stalking-horse $45M headline — press release terms; later court orders not pulled.
  • Whether "Blue Raven Solar" remains a customer-facing legal name or is fully absorbed into SunPower Inc. marketing — the 2026 site capture shows SunPower Inc. branding only.
  • Market-share / "largest installer" claims from the lead are unsourced here; 2021 PR uses "fastest growing" and "national top selling solar brand" as SunPower's words.
  • Map coordinates are approximate geocode of the published Orem street address; not surveyed.
  • Which registrant this page's cik should name is a real schema question, not a typo. It now records Blue Raven Solar, LLC's own CIK (0001657054, American Fork, UT — a Form D filer) rather than SunPower Inc.'s (0001838987), because a harvester following the parent's CIK would pull consolidated SunPower financials and attribute them here. **Identifiers:** has no successor key, so the ownership chain stays narrated above, where the three SEC filings support it.
