Ron has worked in Hawaii's solar industry for over 37 years. While working with other solar companies, Ron realized that once a "job" was complete, the customer was soon forgotten and was no longer seen as a priority in ongoing system maintenance and relationship. Understanding that Hawai'i is a unique and family-oriented state and culture, Ron took it upon himself to care for each of his customers as if they were a part of his own family.

Yes we can customize a system that will zero out your bill. You will still pay a connection fee to HECO that ranges from $14 to $20 a month. This fee allows you to be tied to HECO's grid. Most clients want to zero out their bill and others just want to offset the bill. For example, a customer who has a $200 bill might want to offset their bill $100 so they may install 10 panels.
Going solar is a great idea, and if you're shopping around for quotes you're going to hear a lot of new terms, and it might feel intimidating to understand them in order to understand what you're investing in. But Hi Power Solar is here to help with this list of common solar terms! Solar System: A complete system, made up of the various components required to generate, convert, and supply a home with usable electricity.
When it comes to purchasing solar panels, every solar panel is not created equally. There are different sizes, wattage, and efficiency within the solar technology. It is important to know what is important to you when it comes to your solar "investment." Hi-Power Solar offers a wide variety of solar products and manufacturers at different prices ranges for every budget.

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!!!!

I was extremely satisfied with the employees of this company.
I want to thank the team of professional installers that put in my solar panels..Rico was the electrical lead/foreman; Matt & Bryan were electrical assistants, Justin was the roof lead with his helpers, Chevy, Kaipo & Kamu.
The salesperson that contacted us to use Hi-Power was Ry Yu Oh who was very patient, friendly & professional.
I recommend this company to those who want to get solar.

I worked with Cynthia, she was very personable and accommodating to what I wanted. Requested new AC installation, she came out to assess and gave great recommendations with information. Explained all my options, worked it out with me, and very satisfied with the result! Geoff was a great project coordinator as well. Mike from 808 Air Conditioning installed the AC with professionalism and clean work.
Highly recommend the Hi-Power Solar!

Ron and Company installed my PV system 10 years ago. The installation, system performance and service have all been wonderful. Just had a pretty complex problem worked on by Joe, Makana and Suki and they persisted until they solved it. And, like Ron's entire team, they were friendly, careful of your property and just great guys. And, Evelyn, the coordinator of all their service, is fantastic to work with. Great people on a great team!

I needed to get my 38 panel solar PV installed right away (before the federal credit was reduced at the beginning of 2021) and the Hi-Power crew knocked it out in just over two days' time. They did great work and were very pleasant to work with. I'd like to thank the group of Rico, Matt, Bryan and Tony (electricians) along with Justin, Mario, Makana, Joe, Kamu, Kaipo, and Chevy (roofers). The salesperson, Cynthia was very accommodating and helpful in getting what we needed, to include "expired" discounts. Finally, thanks to Geoff who helped pull all of the design and paperwork

I haven't written a Yelp review in years but the exceptional service I received from Hi-Power Solar surely deserves my time to share my experience!
First start with our account manager Bill. He was very professional and knowledgeable with the available technologies. He clearly understood our needs and addressed all of our concerns.
Our next contact with Hi-Power was with Geoff the project manager for scheduling and permitting. Another concern for us was to get the project completed quickly for tax purposes. He promptly submitted all the required applications with both HECO and our very strict

Installation of 4 ACs were completed over 2 days. The crew was nice and cleaned up around installation areas. There were a couple issues after installation, but the service team was able to come out and address them.
Even after the installation, Cynthia checked in on us to see how things were going.
The BEST thing is the savings. We had an older (maybe 15 years) unit that was struggling to work, and one window unit. First two bills after installation were $70 and $100 less than before we got the split units. Great savings!

We had solar panels installed with a battery back up. Everything was delivered and installed timely as promised. Rico, Justin, and crew were courteous and professional. The installers took great care in how they handled our home and new equipment. When the install was complete Rico took us to inspect the work and explained how the equipment worked.
Though not a big concern to us, the crew was wearing masks, and following protocols for COVID-19.
We highly recommend this company.

My AC shut off, I never realized there was a separate breaker next to the AC. Nick showed up, took about two minutes to open and flip the breaker and charged me $350for it. Gave me an estimate of $1250 to change the breaker.
Cannon electric just came and actually fixed it for half of his estimate. $250 and done.
Terrible when a company will take advantage of a customer.
