Steve is super enthusiastic, knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to all things solar. I researched several solutions, but his products and level of service stood way above the rest. Have been using the system we purchased for around a week now, and had every type of weather imaginable, and it has performed flawlessly. Would not think twice about going back to Steve if I ever need another solar kit - highly recommended.

Steve provided a great service and arranged an installer to put it all in, everything works as expected and the system has been brilliant. Hitek have supplied us with 20 off 310W panels, a Solax Hybrid inverter, a battery charge manager, 14.4kWh of batteries and an emergency power switch which enables to run off batteries if the power is lost. But the real winner is definitely the Hot Water Diversion Kit, if you have solar with or without batteries BUY ONE OF THESE! Your solar generation fluctuates over the day depending on if it's cloudy, so if you rely on a timer it could be cloudy when this timer is enabled! This device monitors your solar output and operates your hot water element to match it!
Awesome experience dealing with Steve from Hitek. He really knows his stuff. We contacted quite a few solar suppliers and none of them know their stuff like Steve. He designed the perfect system for our bus. Thanks guys :-)
My son and I purchased two separate systems from Steve at Hitek Solar for installation at our homes in Taranaki in early 2020. Our location is out of region for Hitek so Steve recommended a Taranaki based sparkie to do the electrical work while we did the labouring work of installing the panels, inverter, etc. Steve’s advice via email and phone during this was invaluable. One system has now been active for 12 months and the other 9 months. The older system has performed faultlessly with an output from the arrays during summer days greater than that expected. The Inverter on the younger system had been indicating some issues. Discussions with Steve put us on the right track to identify the problem area which was the supply cable from the grid to the house. The fault was nothing to do with the solar itself but the Inverter had identified it was present and had been in the house for some time. Again Steve’s advice enabled the local sparkies and lines company to identify the faulty area. Since the lines company faulty cable has been fixed the output from that system has also exceeded the expected output. Both systems use Hitek’s 330w All Black Mono PERC panels with SolaX Hybrid Inverters ready for battery installation at a later date. Steve is pleasant and excellent to deal with, always responds quickly to emails and phone calls. He does not try to bluff with an answer to questions and I have found him very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Steve and Hitek Solar to my best friend and anyone considering installing a solar PV system. Pre and after sales service are essential with such a project as solar so go to and stay with the solar specialists, Hitek Solar; not a carpet company.
I have been dealing with Steve for about a year now and he's been incredibly helpful, although I only brought a few bits he went the extra mile to offer technical advice with building my own system, he's incredibly knowledgeable and has solid data to back up what he says. I'm now looking at building a system for a friend and he went through all the details with me and explaining why I should go with certain components and how they need to be configured. The gear he sells is top notch and he goes over and above what you would expect a business to do. To sum up you get what you pay for in the world of solar, don't cheap out.
5 star service and I didn't even buy from them. Amazing service they know their stuff! Highly recommend. Thank you Steve for your help I know I didn't buy the system from you sorry! I promise I will buy from you in future, your help was really appreciated.
‘We were introduced to Steve at Hitek a couple of years ago, he was very knowledgeable and provided a large amount of product data, spec sheets and advice before we made the purchase. His battery recommendation was great and has dramatically improved the performance of our system which has been installed for 10 years. Steve clearly knows his stuff, communicates clearly and promptly and the equipment all arrived on time in good order as promised’. Very highly recommended
Our journey into Solar for our home began with a good friend and neighbour, who was installing solar into homes in Tauranga. His comment was always when they could personally afford it, they would definitely be doing it. The turning point for me was also learning from him battery technology now existed to reliably store our surplus energy to use at alternative time. We have just been through our first summer and our system has exceeded our expectations and will be very interested to see how our first winter goes. We have found using the on-line app very valuable to track our usage and optimise our system. I would highly recommend Steve at Hitek Solar NZ. I have found Steve to be true to my mate’s recommendation, very responsive in replying to questions and a knowledge regarding solar products I believe to be second to none. Very happy, Royce Willis
