Customer Reviews

David Baker

I had an inverter replaced under warranty installed by a company that is no longer in business and HI Power did the work. The techs who came to install the new inverter were great, they were courteous and professional. I was still having issues with the system but this was because Solar Edge didn't properly process the new serial number to my residence. It was impossible for me to speak to anyone at Solar Edge so I called HI Power again. I was helped by Chase and he was very patient with me (I was frustrated and not being very nice at first). Chase was incredibly helpful and worked things out with Solar Edge and even walked me through how to get my Tesla Powerwall up and running. It was really nice to speak to a human in this time when all that most companies offer is an AI chatbot. Thanks Chase!

John Yeh has been a blessing and wonderful to work with. When we first meet, he patiently explained all my options and helped me find the best financing program available to me and my family. Even after installation, John continues to take my calls and answer my questions. With full confidence, I would refer all my family and friends to John Yeh.

I've been researching/getting estimates from more than five other locally-owned PV/Solar companies over the past several months, but NONE of the other companies sales agents came close to providing the great level of service and knowledge/expertise provided by John-Paul. He kindly and patiently answered my numerous questions (I had ALOT) and explained the pros/cons of different system options and even the financing, in clear, easy-to-comprehend words. HI Power Solar uses quality, brand name products; no bait-switch tactics. The system details and products we discussed were listed on the proposal. PV/Solar is a BIG investment in my current and future electric needs and my research found the best value for my money is the proposal from HI Power Solar. I look forward to working with them.

Hawaii Threading

Aloha! Just like say, Hi Power Solar did one solid job on our roof solar. From the start, John Yee took care of us — helped with all the paperwork, explained everything clear, and made the whole process easy. Mahalo plenty, John! And big shoutout to the whole crew who came out: • Rico (supervisor) — mean professional, super organized • Kaipo C. (Electrical Forman) — knows his stuff, real good guy • Josh (Electrical Apprentice) — hardworking and respectful • Kaipo E. (Roof Lead) — smooth, clean work up top • And the roof boys Ezekiel, Penny, and Kona — quick, friendly, and on it Everybody was on time, worked steady, and treated our home like their own. System came out clean and we’re stoked with the results. If you looking for one honest, local company that takes care, call Hi Power Solar. Mahalo and blessings to the crew!

We started exploring solar systems this past summer and obtained 4 estimates from different companies. HI-Power was competitive and their solar representative Cindy was very responsive and helpful. We signed the contract 2 months ago and had HeCo application, County DPP application and design completed within 2 weeks. They were very transparent on the entire process and we were happily surprised that HeCo processed the application in a timely manner. Installation was completed yesterday, within 2 months. Thank you to the entire team from initial planning with Cindy, Jason and Laneika to the installation team led by Rico the Electrical Forman, Electrical Helper Ezekiel, Roof lead Sam and Roof Helper Kaipo.
