Try this:

var meshInstance = meshInstances[i];
var material = meshInstance.material;
material.opacity = 0.5;
material.blendType = pc.BLEND_NORMAL;
material.update();

By default, the materials has no blend type,so they not use the opacity parameter. You need to specify which blend function will be used to render one object above other
