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](blue-raven-solar-official-website.md)). ## 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](sunpower-blue-raven-acquisition-press-release-2021.md)). 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. ## Evidence - [Source: SunPower — Blue Raven Solar Acquisition Press Release (2021)](sunpower-blue-raven-acquisition-press-release-2021.md) · https://greatutah.work/pages/sunpower-blue-raven-acquisition-press-release-2021.md · https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/867773/000086777321000063/ex-992pressrelease10052021.htm — 2021 acquisition; founded 2014; up to $165M - [Source: SunPower — Chapter 11 Stalking Horse Press Release (2024)](sunpower-chapter-11-stalking-horse-press-release-2024.md) · https://greatutah.work/pages/sunpower-chapter-11-stalking-horse-press-release-2024.md · https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/867773/000086777324000086/ex991_202485pressrelease.htm — Chapter 11; Complete Solaria stalking horse for Blue Raven assets - [Source: Complete Solaria — SunPower Asset Purchase 8-K (2024)](complete-solaria-sunpower-asset-purchase-8k-2024.md) · https://greatutah.work/pages/complete-solaria-sunpower-asset-purchase-8k-2024.md · https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1838987/000121390024065369/ea0210606-8k_complete.htm — buyer-side 8-K; Blue Raven Solar business named - [Source: Blue Raven Solar Official Website](blue-raven-solar-official-website.md) · https://greatutah.work/pages/blue-raven-solar-official-website.md · https://www.blueravensolar.com/ — redirect to us.sunpower.com; Orem address; SunPower Inc. branding ## See Also - [Rodatherm Energy](rodatherm-energy.md) · https://greatutah.work/pages/rodatherm-energy.md — another Utah energy venture with a distinct technology lane - [CleanJoule](cleanjoule.md) · https://greatutah.work/pages/cleanjoule.md — Utah advanced fuels; different energy stack
