Higher Power Solar is the installer you want in your corner when things go sideways. We analyzed nearly a hundred reviews and found a pattern: this isn't a company that disappears after cashing your check. One homeowner's original installer went bankrupt mid-leak, leaving her roof covered in panels she couldn't move. She called Higher Power's owner Cheyne on a Monday. A crew arrived within 48 hours, pulled the panels, identified the leak source, waited for the roofer to finish, then reinstalled everything and powered the system back up. Another customer lost their roof to Hurricane Ian. Higher Power pulled 32 panels before the storm, helped tarp the damage, then reinstalled after the new roof went on without losing a single panel. We found 21 mentions of post-sale support with only 2 negatives, and 39 reviewers specifically praised how the company managed their projects from permit to final inspection. One reviewer in Deep Creek saw her FPL bill drop to $27 a month and noted the process cost her nothing upfront. If you want an installer who'll still pick up the phone two years later when your system throws an error at 9 p.m., this is the one.
If you're comparing purely on the lowest quote, you may find a cheaper option. But if you want an installer who treats your system like their reputation depends on it long after the panels go up, Higher Power Solar is worth the call.
Tony discovered a roof leak beneath his solar array after the original installer had gone out of business. He called Higher Power Solar and reached owner Cheyne, who arranged for a two‑man crew to arrive at the house within 48 hours. The crew inspected the array, identified the leak’s source, and removed the panels so a roofer could complete the repairs. Once the roof was fixed, Cheyne sent the same crew back to reinstall the panels and power the system up. They showed up on time, worked professionally, and cleaned the site before leaving — leaving Tony with a repaired roof and a fully functioning solar system. The most memorable part of the job was the owner-level responsiveness: a quick turnaround and a crew that returned to restore power after the repairs.
Patricia chose a 32-panel system for her home and experienced prompt communication from the start. When Hurricane Ian hit, the crew stepped in to tarp her roof, carefully removed the panels so a new roof could be installed, and put everything back afterward — not one of the 32 panels was lost. She ended up with a replaced roof and all panels intact, a hands-on post-storm response that made the whole process stand out.
Chris Warren moved his home to solar with Higher Power and quickly found Cheyne to be the difference-maker. He discovered Cheyne to be polite and knowledgeable, and that the signup and conversion felt unexpectedly straightforward. Cheyne promised to be their "quarterback" if any problems came up, and he honored that commitment—staying involved and responsive after the installation. The detail that stayed with him: having one dependable person in his corner throughout the whole process.

Isaac went solar with Higher Power Solar and, after a year with panels on his roof, discovered it was one of the best investments he'd made. He ended up with noticeably lower energy bills and the satisfying knowledge that his home was producing cleaner energy — a dual payoff of financial savings and a smaller carbon footprint. The installation crew stayed professional and courteous throughout, and remained willing to answer any questions he had, which made the transition straightforward. A year in, the two things that stuck with him were the steady savings on his monthly bills and the personal satisfaction of doing something tangible for the environment.
Benjamin ended up with a solar setup that started paying off right away, and the best part was that he did not have to put any money down to get it installed. What stuck with him most was opening his electric bill afterward and seeing the savings show up immediately. Along the way, the team kept the process easy to follow, walking him through the details in plain language and staying in touch so he always knew what was happening.
Rebecca Johnson reached out for solar work and to purchase a system and discovered the owner was unusually prompt with communications. She experienced an immediate response and a service visit that was carried out expertly, so the whole process felt smooth and efficient. The detail that stands out is that quick, reliable communication from the owner — it kept the project moving and delivered professional results when she needed them.
Alexander Henderson came away impressed with a roof replacement project that also meant pulling the solar array off and putting it back. The work stayed on schedule from start to finish, and when the panels were reinstalled, they were running perfectly again — the kind of smooth handoff that matters when a home has to be without its system during roofing work.
Jake needed his solar panels taken off for a stretch of home repairs and then put back once the work was done, and the whole removal-and-reinstall process went smoothly. After the crew finished, the panels came back online and were working great again, with the kind of no-drama turnaround that keeps a project like that from turning into a headache.
Kyle came in needing a solar removal and reinstall, the kind of job that can turn into a headache fast if the coordination slips. Instead, the crew kept him in the loop from start to finish and handled the process so smoothly that the whole project felt easy rather than disruptive.
Michael Schwartz first met Higher Power Solar at a dinner seminar about a year before Hurricane Ian damaged his roof. After the storm he reached back out and ended up with a coordinated rebuild: a new roof, a new solar system, and an energy-efficient pool pump to help cut energy use. He liked that one company handled the roof repair and the solar installation together, turning storm damage into an integrated upgrade rather than a bunch of separate fixes.
Raymond William came away focused on the money side of the switch, and the part that stood out most was how quickly the solar setup started undercutting his old FPL bill. For a household used to Florida utility pricing, he found his monthly electric cost running lower than what he had paid before, and that early savings was the clearest sign the system was doing its job.
Brandon got into solar without putting any money down, and the savings started showing up right away. He ended up feeling good about the move because the setup began paying off from the start, turning a simple home upgrade into an immediate monthly relief.
