Hooked On Solar

Our newly installed solar energy system, integrated with a Tesla Powerwall, has performed exceptionally well. Hooked on Solar has proven to be an outstanding organization with which to collaborate. The installation process was executed with utmost punctuality and completed strictly in accordance with the established schedule. The workmanship displayed is precise, clean, and highly professional in appearance. Furthermore, communication with their representatives was exemplary. On the initial day of the system's operation, a power outage occurred lasting three hours, during which the system functioned flawlessly. I would confidently recommend their services to associates at any time. Additionally, the team ensured the garage was left in a clean and orderly condition upon departure.

I really want to recommend Hooked on Solar for any of your Solar/Battery needs! These guys are true to their word and when issues come up (they always do!!) in the project , they always find a way to solve it! I had them install a new solar and Lunar battery system with a house that had an existing SunPower system and they were able connect the old SunPower system to my new Lunar System! Fantastic!! Huge thanks to Michael, Nicole, Lupe, Eddie and the rest of the team!

"6" on a Scale of 5! :o)

Since Hooked on Solar installed our system, we no longer pay a PG&E bill -- in fact, at our most recent True Up, MCE paid us $330! In addition, this year we received about $100 in incentives (Sync, climate rebate, etc.), so in fact we MADE almost $450 this year on our electric -- and that doesn't include the gas we save on our electric car! Getting a ground mount from Hooked on Solar, plus 2 Tesla batteries, was a fantastic financial decision for us, and we're glad we're doing our part to support the environment as well. Thanks Hooked on Solar for doing a fantastic job for us, and setting us up with a lifetime of savings! SIX stars out of five!

Several months ago we had Hooked On Solar install a backup battery to our existing solar panels. They installed a Tesla 10Kw battery, and it was the best investment we could have made. The installation was flawless. The installers were very professional, explained all they were going to accomplish and how the system would work, and left no mess behind. I also received excellent support in getting a rebate that was offered by PG&E at the time. Lastly, we live in an area where power goes out frequently (ie, winds, maintenance, etc.), and the system "kicks on" perfectly. In fact, we only know the power went off because we can hear the neighbors loud generator operating. Thanks again. Highly recommend Hooked On Solar. Jeff Mc

The workmanship is (clean and neat) very professional looking. Communication with employee's is excellent. They are friendly and skilled. Received good training on the system. System passed county inspection first time. Highly recommend Hooked on Solar.

Everything you want from a solar system supplier

Just about one month in with my new system. Everything is great so far. They gave me a very fair deal. Justin was great on the front end and throughout the process. Despite being exceptionally busy they were able to get the install done on time. The install process was fast and easy. They handled every aspect of the project and did so very professionally.

We had our system installed in 2021 and have been very happy with the results. Just recently we had some tech issues and questions. We reached out to Ashlee Hahn which was our sales person and she took care of everything for us even after all these years. Thank you again Ash for all your hard work and great customer service on behalf of hooked on solar.

*****

Worked with Justin Urban at Hooked On Solar in 2021 who did an excellent job of guiding me through the solar process. Finally ended up with 22 panels and two batteries. Installation was seamless and done to my satisfaction on a concrete tile roof. I was guided through the PG&E process and received on time correspondence right up to the time the system went into service. I researched several solar companies and Justin was knowledgeable on all facets of solar including panels, installation, connections and batteries.

Delighted with Services Provided - Brianna Kidwell & Ashley Hahn

I have been working with Brianna Kidwell and Ashlee Hahn with a recent purchase of a Telsa Wall 3.0. Brianna has been my contact with anything to do with Solar Systems. Always helpful and supportive, when required she works internally with her resources to get me the information I request. Ashlee was extremely helpful in walking me through an analysis of my PGE bills prior and after purchase of the Tesla PowerWall. She was extremely informative in having me understand the app that supports the battery, what the data is presenting and how to review relevant data to optimize its performance. These guys are great and great to work with, I am very happy with the support they provide and highly recommend them, GREAT JOB!!!

Top Notch Battery Installation

I want to give a shoutout to the professionals at Hooked-On-Solar of Rockland, CA who recently completed the installation of a 13.5 kW-hr backup battery system at my home. They originally installed solar panels on my roof about 5 years ago and did a fantastic job with that installation, so I had no hesitation in employing them again when Ashlee Hahn sent me a proposal for a battery installation in November 2024. The signup, contract formation and invoice payments were pretty frictionless, and they got to work right away with a site visit, drawing preparation and submittals to the local building department and PG&E. They facilitated all aspects of the process including the PG&E review and approval to operate the system. The whole effort from the time I first signed the contract until the installation was completed was about 4 weeks. It did take PG&E another month to approve the system and allow it to officially operate. The battery, however, was up and running from the day the installation was complete. Ashlee and her team (Nick for installation, Rodney as Project Manager and Brianna as babysitter for me while I anxiously monitored the installation) are all first rate professionals and I would highly recommend their services for anybody’s solar system needs.

Excellent Customer Service and Installation

In 2021 I was shopping for a solar power system for my home and was referred by a work colleague to Justin Orban at Hooked on Solar. By the time I spoke with Justin, I had already spoken with several other solar companies so was somewhat acquainted with the process. I was immediately impressed with Justin’s knowledge and the time he spent further educating me on the best system for my home. He helped throughout the design process, installation and follow-up when I later purchased a powerwall for my system. Furthermore, Hooked on Solar’s design engineers and installers were top-notch: timely, professional and very helpful. 3+ years later there have been no issues with my solar system and works as represented by Justin and the team. I recommend Justin and the Hooked on Solar team without reservation.

Hooked on Soar ~ 5 Stars

I had Hooked on Solar install my solar system in August 2023. Working with Hooked on Solar was the best experience I've ever had with a contractor. From beginning to end everything was handled in the most professional way ever. Hence, the 5-star rating. Justin Orban, my sales representative with Hooked on Solar explained everything to me in detail, and followed the installation from beginning to end, always kept me informed on how the project was proceeding. I interviewed may solar companies, and Hooked on Solar will be your Number 1 Top Quality solar contractor. John S.

I had a fantastic experience with Hooked on Solar, and I highly recommend their services. From start to finish, the process was smooth and efficient. Ashlee Hahn, our sales representative, was outstanding—knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire decision-making process. Danielle, handling communication, was equally impressive, keeping us informed at every step with clear and timely updates. Their combined efforts made the installation seamless and stress-free. If you're considering solar energy, Hooked on Solar is the way to go, and be sure to ask for Ashlee for an exceptional experience.

Very happy with my system

Great experience!

Best choice for our situation.

Justin was fast at getting with us. He took our info and got back quickly with the best design for our situation. In the first year of owning this system we now know that payoff will occur well before 6 years. We have had no bill other than states mandated minimum delivery charge for being hooked up to the system. Never looking back. 100%

Thumbs Up!

We purchased a home that Hooked on Solar had previously installed panels. From the onset of our interaction this company has been outstanding. Our rep, Ashlee Hahn, has been fantastic! As a former sales manager I can attest with certainty her customer service standards are exceptional. We are treated as if we were the original buyers of the solar panels. We decided to install whole house battery back ups as we live in a rural area where service interruptions are to be expected. Ashlee coordinated the whole process and was able to get us qualified for a rebate which offset 80+% of the cost of the batteries and installation. Another excellent Hooked on Solar employee is Beth Gilmore. When the rebate process seemingly stalled she took control and facilitated a quick and successful resolution. Everyone with whom we've been in contact with from installers to inspectors has been first rate. I whole heartedly recommend Hooked on Solar! Ask for Ashley.

After several solar bids that left me confused because of so many contradictory statements I was lucky enough to be referred to Justin and Hooked on Solar. I was ready to proceed with them before we finished the initial presentation. They didn’t try to sell me a bigger system than I needed and found a way to accommodate my needs without my having to remove all my pool solar panels. Always took my phone calls or called me back quickly. Couldn’t be more happy with the entire process.

Six month later, great product and experience with Sunpower

About a year ago, I reached out Justin Orban regarding solars. Justin was very knowledgeable and taught me a lot about my options. We had lost power a few times in 2022 and my wife and I were starting to be frustrated during bed time with the kids without power! Fast forward a few months later, we got the installation done in less than a day with batteries. I occasionally check but have forgotten everything about it. Until recently, our whole block in Pleasanton lost power. We didn't even notice. Our batteries lasted all night long and it was amazing experience. I recommend Justin and the hooked on solar team. They have been great and provided updates.

We chose to install solar prior to this year’s PG&E NEM program change and even though most solar companies were decidedly swamped with requests, Justin Orban was attentive and took considerable time with us explaining the process in clear terms. We had been referred to him by another neighbor who highly recommended Justin and Hooked on Solar for the SunPower system. The install was scheduled promptly and while we did have some questions and concerns during that process, Justin was very responsive in resolving those issues and that made us feel like we chose the right company. While the cost was somewhat higher, the quality of components and service was a deciding factor. Even offered some financial incentives which really swung the deal. Happy to have the sun beating down on us now!

Lived up to expectations

My first contact with SolarPower was through a referral to Justin Orban. From the start he was pleasant, informative, and truthful. I had been working with another company who had given me some untrue information. Justin gave me the truth and it wasn't long before I knew SolarPower Hooked on Solar was the company I wanted to do business with. Throughout the process each person who was sent to our home was courteous and truthful. They kept to their schedule and even completed some aspects of the job early. The price was also within reason when compared to other companies and there were no attempts to pressure sell or add on to the original price. Even the office staff in Rocklin went out of their way to help me when my computer skills failed me. Support after the project was completed was handled by Justin Orban and has been nothing short of superior!

Outstanding

I vetted 4 different companies when I was looking to install solar on my home. Hooked on Solar came in the lowest of the bids, but they also had perks that made choosing Hooked on Solar very easy. My sales person Justin was super knowledgeable and friendly. Having solar has been a great experience. I love having a stable and reliable power source.

Excellent Company!

I have been a business owner for 40 years and so I know one heck of allot about business in general. This company and their staff and Justin Orban do a great job in satisfying and taking care of their customer needs. My ranch has self sufficient power now and I couldn't have achieved this without Justin's expertise and this great company. Running any business these days is a tough occupation and Solar is a complex circumstance that needs a group of people that can work together seamlessly to achieve the overall objective. I was very happy with all aspects of the install of my Solar System, my Tesla Battery Backup and my private well conversion to Solar energy. A 145 foot trench was required for that well conversion. Everyone involved in all steps of the process and every phase were professional and experts in their respective fields. Justin and Hooked on Solar exceeded any expectations that I had concerning how any company should operate to satisfy their customers needs. I highly recommend Justin and Hooked on Solar. Great Job! Thank you!

SunPower

SunPower Solar was very responsive since I first called to inquire about solar for my house. From the planning Ashley H was very helpful and quick to respond to my texts/calls to discuss and answered any of my concerns and options. Danielle (operations manager) was awesome to work to accommodate my installation schedule with my work schedule . The installation went very smooth, foreman and his crew ( Nick G, Herman and Aaron ) were very efficient and their positive attitude made it easier to discuss any last minute questions about the installation. Overall excellent workmanship and very professional people. Would definitely recommend to hem to anybody. Thanks! Aida L

HOOKED ON SOLAR IS THE BEST!!!

After several years of research been dealing with many different solar companies and just not really being too impressed and being very gun shy to do solar for my own personal reasons. We finally found Hooked On Solar. We got a hold of Joel he what's our first point of contact and that was a pleasant experience right off the bat. He scheduled all appointments around our schedule. We met with him via zoom on a Saturday. He explained everything in great detail and answered all of our additional questions that we had subsequent from our meeting. He helped us through the whole process picking out what we're best for our needs. We still had some questions regarding contractors license and such and as we were doing our due diligence. I went to reach out to the owner Chad, this was on a Saturday late afternoon he answered his private cell phone, answer all of my questions and I just found that to be really a great way to run a company. It was very reassuring that he didn't act like we were interrupting him. He answered all of our questions that was very impressive. That is what did it for us when Chad answered the phone and his whole attitude towards our phone conversation was what really made us feel at ease. Then to go even further all of his crew from beginning to end have been amazing! Danielle she called made appointments set things up constantly fielding questions from me and my husband we really just have had a lot of questions. Rodney the project manager set everything up seamlessly. Nick set up our appointments timely if something couldn't be done he communicated why, then followed up when he said he was going to follow up making sure the project was done when we wanted it to be done by. Then James and his crew came out and did the installation that was seamless. They were professional, knowledgeable and extremely courteous. They obviously knew exactly what they were doing and it looks amazing. Part of my apprehension regarding getting the solar was what was my roof going to look like, were there going to be holes in my roof and all of those things. It looks amazing there's no exterior power cords or anything it's all hidden and tucked away, power conduit looks great. Then Carson came out and did the final inspection with the city, that was again seamless. He arrived timely, was very professional and very knowledgeable. He explained everything gave me his phone number for follow-up questions I might have, everything was perfect. Without any question this is the company to go with everything was perfect from beginning to end! Highly recommend

Solar done right

We did our research, interviewed companies and received quotes, and talked with other customers. Sunpower by Hooked on Solar was the clear choice. Sales, customer service, installers and follow-up care exceeded our expectations. We are very satisfied with SunPower by Hooked on Solar.

Great experience

After spending 2 years researching solar I chose Hooked on Solar. The customer service was top notch from the initial sales meeting to the after install inspection. Every single employee was very nice and knowledgeable about solar. I was amazed that the entire installation took about 5 hours and I am so happy with my SunPower by Hooked on Solar. Thank you to Justin and his assistant Cara for answering my questions.

Very happy from start to finish.

Got a fair quote and installation was done right away. I still can't believe how quick the turnaround was from getting a quote and getting the panels on the roof. We have had the panels up for a month and everything is working great so far!

THEY ARE AMAZING!

I could not be more satisfied with my installation! This family owned company has proved that team work does in fact make the dream work! Everyone worked hand in hand on making sure I was in the loop while I waited for my install without bombarding me with calls. The install is fast and hassle free, after 1 day I was ready for my final inspection! I recommend this company 200%!

Great service, better relationships

SunPower by Hooked on Solar is one of the strongest and dedicated companies I have ever worked with. Every team member there goes above and beyond to serve their clients, and I couldn't recommend them more to anyone looking for solar power!
