The Verdict
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.
Reviews That Shaped Our Verdict
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.
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.
