Hi-Power Solar

I purchased my solar system from Ron about 2 yrs ago. and have nothing but satisfaction with it… it helped us save a lot $$$$ especially having to run my central air condition all day dueto my home business. Ron was really helpful and accommodating especialy when it boiled down to our financial agreement. overall I am extremely happy with my system and I am definately looking forward to doing business with them again!!!

It’s been sixteen days since my PV system has been «powered-​up.» Net power consumption has been reduced from 28.8 kWh per day to approximately 8.5 kWh. It was once in excess of 37 kWh per day before I replaced my non-​functioning solar water heater early in 2011.
It seems that I will only need to add seven or eight additional PV panels in 2012 to achieve my ultimate goal of the minimum $ 16 – 18 monthly charge by HECO. The system design of SANYO HIT panels coupled with Enphase M210 micro-​inverters is a winning one as the additional panels will legitimately qualify as a third system for the state’s renewable energy tax credit.
It has been a pleasant experience to deal with an honest and high quality solar contractor who uses top-​tier components and adheres to a «no BS» philosophy in their dealings with the public. It’s refreshingly unlike the «trickeration» tactics used by some of their competitors.
UPDATE: I received my first HECO bill since the PV system was powered up. It reflected seven days without the PV, 24 days with the system operating. My usage for the seven days was 201 kWh (28.7 per day), 197 kWh for the remaining 24 days (8.2 per day). A definite improvement of over 20 kWh. My overall usage was 12.8 kWh per day, compared with 28.8 kWh the previous billing period.
I had projected a bill in the area of $ 140.00. It came in at $ 144.85, primarily due to the extra day (31 vs. 30) @$ 4.67 in the billing period. It was a reduction of nearly $ 165.00 from the previous $ 309.51. For the next billing period (1÷07−2÷07), I project a net bill of $ 90 – 95, a reduction of about $ 212 – 220.
Later this year, I’ll add eight more panels to bring my bill to the minimum $ 16 – 18 «connection charge.» The eight panels will qualify as a «third system,» allowing me to legitimately claim the 35% state tax credit on the added cost.
FOLLOW-​UP: My second HECO bill came in at $ 86.65, slightly lower than the anticipated $ 90 – 95, partly due to a $ 0.02/kWh rate reduction. 243 kWh used, 695 kWh less than three months prior. 8.1 kWh per day. These figures confirm my projection of eight additional panels to be added in 2012 to bring my bill down to the minimum connection charge. It’ll soon be good-​bye to triple-​digit «ransom» payments to HECO. After that, I may put out $ 100K to install 70 additional panels for a 15.7 kW «feed-​in-​tariff» (FIT) system and produce around 2400 – 2500 kWh per month to sell back to HECO. At $ 0.267 per kWh, that’s $ 640 – 665 monthly on a $ 35K net investment, a 21.9% rate of return. What instrument in the financial market can match this? These numbers are also realistic, unlike the made-​up fiction promoted by other companies and their FIT systems.
