Did you know a well-designed solar system can pay for itself—and then some? Take Oscar, for example. Since installing solar, his system has been generating more energy than he needs. The result? Around half of his power is often exported back to the grid, so far earning him a tidy $1,400 in credit from the power company since its installation last year. 💰 On top of that, his power bills have been slashed, giving him more control over his energy costs. Systems like Oscar’s are typically designed to pay themselves off within the warranty period (usually around 10 years), and he’s well on his way to achieving that. Solar isn’t just about cutting costs—it’s about creating an energy future where your roof works for you. 🌿 💬 What would you do with the savings or extra earnings from a solar system?

Renewable Energy: A Future Worth Talking About ♻️ What’s the best thing about renewable energy? It’s simple—it’s renewable! The sun doesn’t send invoices, and the wind doesn’t run out of steam. 🌬️ By harnessing solar power, we’re fueling homes and businesses with cost-effective, clean energy while reducing our impact on the planet. Here’s how it makes a difference: ✅ Residential Solar: Lower power bills, greater energy independence, and the satisfaction of building a sustainable future. 🌿 ✅ Commercial Solar: Significant savings during daylight hours, enhanced sustainability credentials, and a greener image that resonates with customers.💼 At Hiko Electrical, we’re proud to be part of the renewable energy journey in the Bay of Plenty. But we know there’s still so much to discuss, debate, and explore. 💭 What’s your opinion on renewable energy? Are you already using it, or are you considering making the switch? What opportunities or challenges do you see in adopting solar or other renewables? Share your thoughts below—we’d love to hear your perspective! #HikoElectrical #RenewableEnergy #SolarPower #Sustainability #BayOfPlenty #CleanEnergy #EcoBusiness #GreenFuture

Here’s a real-world example of how much solar is actually saving a residential client of ours: Oscar’s monthly power bill used to average around $900. We installed a solar system for Oscar recently, and he's already noticed, we quote, "...a MASSIVE drop." Even during the colder winter months, his solar system is saving him around half - with monthly bills now approximately $450. Even in spite of rising power costs and heavy usage, it's hard to ignore what the solar installation has done! For Oscar, solar isn’t just about saving money—it’s about gaining control over his energy usage and enjoying long-term peace of mind. 💡 👋 Still doubting the benefits of solar? Let us know below and we'd be happy to answer any queries! #HikoElectrical #SolarPower #RealWorldSavings #BayOfPlenty #RenewableEnergy #EnergyEfficiency

What do you think is the most important quality for a subcontractor to bring to a project? 🔧 We believe that being dedicated to delivering exceptional results doesn’t shouldn't just be for those in the spotlight. Even when we’re working behind the scenes as subcontractors, without direct client interaction, our commitment to quality never wavers. Every project we take on represents not only our name but also the reputation of the partners we work with—in this case, Mark at MLT Builders. We believe great work should speak louder than words. When we can’t talk directly to clients about what we do, we let our results tell the story.

At Hiko Electrical, we’re all about providing top-quality, reliable solar solutions for commercial buildings. But sometimes, even our team members don’t get everything perfect on the first take. Case in point: Chris recently filmed an informative video about the advantages of commercial solar, but kept getting caught up on one tiny word—"if." 🤦♂️ A few retakes later, and we had a blooper reel that’s too good not to share! It’s a great reminder that perfection isn’t always the goal. What’s more important is learning, improving, and—most importantly—having fun along the way. 🌟 🎥 Want a laugh? Head over to our Instagram (@HikoElectrical) to check out the blooper reel and see how we handle those little bumps in the road.
