I'll present you 2 ways to see this.

I don't know about how fast it's possible without condensers, but for your reference, I've made a stack of hv solars and full quantum armor along with stacks of RM within the first 6 hours starting from scratch in a no-economy pvp anarchy server. It isn't all that hard to do with blaze rod emc generators, very efficient factories, and structured method in which to go about it at.

As for the math, just one of my 5x5x3 regular solar panel factories makes 2 solars per second. As the solar panel production is the major bottleneck in HV solar production, and that it takes 512 solar panels to make a HV solar, mine would make an HV solar every 4 minutes, 16 seconds. So 64 would be made in roughly 4 hours 33 minutes.

Then you may realize that that's just the math based on one regular solar panel factory. If I made 8 instead...

So the point is, it's very easily possible to make 16 hv solars in the first 8 hours. Just takes the know-how of the process.

On the other hand, he could also be using one of the many dupe methods available to simply dupe stacks of whatever he wanted. In that case he'd just get say, one RM and one HV solar, then dupe the hell out of it. I suppose that would be easier.

If you think he's genuinely a beginner, then it's probably more likely that he duped. But I don't see why he couldn't have just taken 16 hv solars from someone else, as a gift (for new year's :P) or something. Why not just ask him how he did it and verify based on that? Trying to figure out if he cheated by mathing it isn't going to lead you anywhere really.
