So we needed help with our PV system. I've gone back and forth for 3 years with Tesla on my PV system and it's issues not being efficient. I contacted Cynthia from Hi Power Solar just to see if I could get some help...In 5 minutes she answered and explained why my system wasn't working as efficient as it should then gave me a solution on how to fix it. They also redid my solar water heater system, which they did an excellent job doing. This company and its workers are very professional and do excellent work in a very timely manner.

Great experience with HIP POWER Solar. From the initial call in speaking with the owner who provided me with a wealth of information to working directly with Cynthia who navigated us through determining what is actually best for our situation in terms of electricity consumption. Clearly not a business that was pushing or even suggesting the customer spend more money then what the actual residence needs. Thank you for the Solar Hot Water Heater installation. We look forward in continued services in the future. Truly a Military Friendly business. Will continue to recommend there business!

The sales people were good, installers good. We believed all was good. But from the beginning only half our system worked. Tech came and went and still nothing. Hi Power says parts are coming from Maui! It's been 4 months, only half our system works. At least HI Power was paid in full. Perhaps we are the ones that fell thru the cracks. Wish we could be those people who gave 5 stars! This by far is the most expensive 1 star!!!!
