Hooked on Solar installed 14 solar panels and a Tesla Powerwall on my 2,300 sq. ft. home, and I've…read morebeen really happy with the system. During the recent 95° weather in West Sacramento, I kept my AC at 72°, and the battery powered my house for most of the night. If you have PG&E, I definitely recommend getting a battery with your solar system. Their rates are so high that it's nice using the power you stored during the day instead of paying those peak prices when you get home from work. I also had a power outage that lasted a few hours. The switch to the battery happened so fast that my TV didn't even turn off. I didn't even realize the power was out at first. The crews were friendly, answered my questions, and kept me updated through every step. Justin, my solar consultant, was great to work with. He answered all my questions and was always quick to respond. When I get an electric car in a few years, I'll have Hooked on Solar come back and recommend whether I should add more panels or another Tesla Powerwall. I'd definitely use Hooked on Solar again.

i have a Hooked On Solar system that was installed 11 years ago, it has never required a service…read more last week it went off line and I requested a service call. The technician arrived and reset the system and it started working, he could have left it like that but he didn't. The technician opened every panel and checked and tightened the wiring, he then went on roof to check panel connections. The connections were weathered after 11 years of exposure, so he chose to replace them as suspect and provention. This is an example of excellence in service. I would recommend Hooked On Solar for any of your Solar needs, new or service

This solar company was referred to me by a close friend and I was told that this was a great…read morecompany to work with and who they used. Post going live with my system has been a nightmare of terrible customer service. I continued getting PG&E bills even after the system was fully functional. I was first told that my batteries turned themselves off and that is what is making the difference. Then I was told that the breaker got turned off, "not tripped", and that was the problem and that I should start locking my panel as myself or someone else went in there and manually turned it off. I was then told that I would be assisted with the unnecessary PG&E bills that I was receiving. I have now been double charged for energy for the last 3 months. I have now been ghosted by the company for about a month until they just came back to me today to say that I didn't get enough solar panels and that must be the actual problem! Even though they built a system that would have an overage of production based on my last year of energy usage for the last 12mo. My energy consumption has not changed at all, even anything it has lessened. I have also called both the office and the sales rep I worked with a combined 10+ times in the last month and not a single returned call. So unfortunately I am having to come here and write this review to get any attention to this problem that has been going for months. My next points of escalation will be the Better Business Bureau and the state licensing board with all the receipts of communication (or lack there of), misinformation, and my original contracts showing that I purchased a system with enough panels.

Ill include some spec sheets for the skeptical.

Long story so I'm just going to say what happened today. I was trying to find out why I was getting…read moreelectric bills. The manager said that I shut the switch off and then went back onto my electrical panel three months later and turned them back on. After arguing that I did not do it and there was absolutely no reason for anyone else to be in my electric panel over the last three months, he said it's only common sense insinuating I didn't have any, that I would have flipped the switch because it was the only way it could be off. I'll cut to the chase because it isn't necessary to go into what happened after he said that!!!!! He admitted that he made a mistake and it was IID's fault. Things were not properly explained to me from the beginning, and he sold it to me under false pretense. When I tried to reach the company by email, I was ghosted, also by my sales rep. And to top it all off the manager of the company says I don't have any common sense and accuses me of doing something that I did not do. I guess what I'm saying is customer service is horrible and so far I have no idea how the solar works. I have not had it yet.

Writing this review after 2 years of experience with the system that Kyle and his team installed…read more I wanted to give it some time to gauge how much it produced on an average year and to go through all the seasons. I have to say I could not be happier with the system and the support we were given. Starting with the consultation that we were given prior to purchasing. Kyle and his team were extremely professional, they walked us through all of our options, and were at the ready for any follow-up questions and concerns we had. It was a few weeks from the time we first engaged to the time we signed the papers due to taking time to do my research on other companies and rates etc. During that timeframe, their team was fully available QandA and recommendations based on our specific situation. They got us a super good rate for financing and it was completely painless. Once we signed the papers they helped fast-track the application through the electric company so that we didnt have to much time lost in between purchase and install. As soon as everything got approved Kyle and his team came to the house for the installation. They showed up with an army of guys. All of them were super professional and helpful. They were very respectful of our house and property and make an extra effort to not do any damage to the roof with ladders and boots. They made quick work of the installation. I think it was only 2-3 days. We felt super confident with that team as they were all very knowledgeable and ready to answer any questions we had. Once the system was fully installed, Kyle spent time with us to show us how to work everything and get the app hooked up so we could start to see our solar go to work. After 2 years of our system being installed, we could not be happier. With triple-digit summers and AC running most days we still have not had to pay any electrical costs to PGE beyond the service fee of 30 bucks a year or so. Prior to this system being set up we had bills in the summer that reached 700$/month. Those savings in the summer alone is worth the price of admission. The app is awesome as well and helps us track our usage and production so that way we can always make sure that we aren't risking using too much in the summer. The product is amazing, the team is amazing, and the service is amazing. I could not recommend this company enough. It is saving me thousands of dollars a year on my electricity. These guys are the real deal.

It turned out to be a software issue, and they stuck with it every step of the way--slowly bringing the battery back with a trickle charge, updating the system, and reprovisioning it multiple times until everything was running like it should. What really matters is that they're one of the very few companies in Northern California that will even take on SunPower systems these days. With so many providers stepping away after the company's collapse, it's a huge relief to find a team that's willing and able to help.

I was worried about how I was going to get my system repaired and back online. Thankfully, I found Solar Conservators and they were a huge help. Albert was the person I worked with, and he made the entire process easy and straightforward. He helped get the replacement inverter arranged, replaced the inverter quickly, and had my solar system back up and running the same day. The labor cost was also very reasonable, especially considering the quality and speed of the service. I really appreciate Albert and the Solar Conservators team for helping me get my solar system working again. I would definitely recommend Solar Conservators to anyone who needs help with their solar system. Great service, fair pricing, and most importantly, they got the job done quickly!

Though it was a simple fix that i should have figured out on my own, after a number of calls to other solar companies, Tim responded quickly and made the process much better and more affordable.
