Professional work, much appreciated

People SAY a lot of things.

MC Electrical:
- confirm appointments
- take the time to understand your needs
- provide great advice and a fair quote
- call back when they say they will
- always turn up on time
- are friendly
- install quality equipment, and leave the site clean and tidy
- ensure all is working well (even my legacy monitoring device!)
- follow up to check on the system

What people DO is more important than what people say.

Thank you to Lauren, Jo, Jason, Brady, Kendall and anyone else involved with our recent installation. Highly recommended!

MC Electrical are the only team you need for anything solar

MC Electrical are the most professional company I've dealt with. I originally went with this company 7 years ago when we had a 6.5KW panels and Fronius installed. They knew exactly what to recommend for my situation and they have a team that is fabulous. From the quoting stage, to the install and the admin, everyone knows their job and are a pleasure to deal with. I didn't think twice when I decided to install the Tesla Powerwall 3 and got Yorick around to quote on the install. As soon as the Powerwall were released in Australia then the install team came and installed it for me. They did an outstanding job on the install and extremely neat and correct. I cannot recommend these guys highly enough. Do not be fooled by the cheap fly by night companies that will install an inferior product and nowhere near the high standard of MCE.

MC Electrical Rocks

I’ve just received my extended solar system, 10 years since my first faultless installation by the MC Electrical team. The first system has performed faultlessly, which is a testament to the quality of their work.
My new system was a real test joining an older Tesla/solaredge setup. The team was awesome seamlessly integrating my new Fronius My garage wall is an artwork of electrical engineering, outstanding. The professionalism from the first interaction to the delivery of the new system and follow-up is fantastic. Having over 10 years with the company, I have always felt supported able to pick up a phone and find a friendly interaction nothing seems to hard.

Thoroughly Professional

Every interaction with MC Electrical, from quoting, the office support team, the pre-inspection, through to the install; was seamless.

The sales/quotation was open, transparent and all made sense.

We were so impressed with the whole install team. Everything was explained and every care was taken.

Our site wasn't easy, but that didn't seem to daunt the installers. We were replacing an old system, and MC Electrical took care of the removal and recycling of the components.

The team were professional and courteous and the site was left spotless.

A complete level of knowledge. Qualified and experienced electricians for the quote, site visit and installation.

I was researching and fact checking other quotes and constantly found the MC Electrical YouTube site. So that's the starting point. They really are interesting in the technology and systems that go into a solar install. All the way down to the racking product.

They back the Catch relay product hot and more importantly integrate the 3 phase 6 channel power monitoring using CT clamps and a full knowledge of the options for power monitoring. Full import export data independent of the retailers reporting and through a simple API that can be connected to an home assistant server to help manage power usage. No smart meter upgrade required.

2 tradies and 3 apprentices on site to install 26 kw of panels and a 20kw symo inverter. 2 day install with everyone professional and in good spirits.

MC Electrical was the only company out of 6 quotes to provide a full range of quotes with correct specifications etc etc. But more importantly the only company to sit down at my kitchen table and listen to everything I said, work through the complex shade situation and then put together what I requested, but also what they thought was the best combination of systems to match my needs.

All at a competitive price but still using premium components for every part of the build, wiring, connectors, racking, tech screws.

A recommendation that fulfilled all my expectations

Recommended by a friend, MC Solar has delivered on a perfect solution for my needs, in a very professional manner. The guys who installed it were courteous but friendly and informative.

Definitely will recommend to anyone who asks me about solar. Thanks guys!

Really good experience from when I contacted MC Electrical to when the system was installed. I had a fair idea of what we wanted which helped to narrow down the options.

Fantastic solar system Kicks goals

MC Electrical installed our solar system and batteries, which took approximately three days. The system has been a game changer. We have a 40 kWh battery and 13.2 kw system. We have 2 EVs and our system generates enough power to charge both vehicles and service our home, day and night. MC Electrical were straight upfront and explained everything. The system has outperformed what they originally estimated by at least 20%. They seem to be excellent panels and service.

Absolutely fantastic, would recommend MC Electrical to anyone considering Solar

Where to start?! From the very first interaction with MC Electrical, through to the post installation process, it was fantastic.

The team at MC Electrical not only know their Solar, but the level of expertise and exemplary customer service was fantastic. The team kept us informed and updated throughout the process, and it was just a really seamless and wonderful experience.

We would recommend MC Electrical to anyone who is considering having Solar installed.

Fantastic service and quality installation

MC Electrical were fantastic to deal with, from initial engagement to installation and post install.
Their Solar Consultant was prompt for our meeting. They answered all my questions, took me through the process and provided a solar pack containing brochures from panels, inverters and project timeline activities (the only company that did that). Very professional.
The installation went smoothly. The install team was punctual and took onboard my concerns around any inverter noise and placement within the garage. I also raised a concern around ducting being visible from the front of the house. They spent the time and effort to run the ducting inside the porch ceiling into the garage so as to not make it visible from the front of the house. The ducting inside the garage is clean and placed to run along the ceiling. They also re-organised my switchboard layout to make sure the switches are grouped together.
Post install they went through the system setup and also pointed me to the videos they have on their site.
It’s been over six months since the install and there have been no issues.

Perfect price and performace

Hassle free over the phone/email quoting. Best pricing by some margin considering the inclusions such as battery ready inverter, tracking software, quality panels and long warranties on equipment and their workmanship.

Phone queries handled on the spot if possible or within the day if more detailed. Online tutorials, courteous and knowledgeable staff made the admin component easy and trouble free for the purchaser.

Installers were on time, communicated well, courteous, respectful of the property and completed the job within advised time frame. Also ,my yard was completely clean of all rubbish upon completion.

MC Electrical is truly a unique company in these times, well managed from top to bottom, competitive pricing and cares about their good name by delivering exceptional customer outcomes.

Thank you for your thoughtful review, Mark. We’re glad you appreciated the value we offer with our pricing, inclusions, service and workmanship. Your recognition of the team's combined efforts means a lot to us.

Tradie Redemption

My latest Solar experience started with a knock on my front door by a young lad asking me to talk about roof top solar and I quickly sent him on his way. Having noted the company he represented, i rang them and arranged a representative to visit and give me a quote, although he was very nice, it was evident that he was just a fancy version of a door to door sales person.
I then used good old Google to hunt around for solar retailers and came across SolarQuotes, they introduced me to the world of true and serious Solar Retailers. All 5 retailers they gave me were well presented and gave me good solid quotes.
MC Electrical was by far the superior retailer in my opinion due to there excellent communications both on line and over the phone, they answered all my quires promptly and without hesitation. There web site is something to behold, bucket loads of info and blogs to answer all things Solar. The admin staff were exceptional and easy to communicate with.
My experience with Trades People over the years has not been good, i found most I dealt with arrogant, self opinionated and lacked communication skills. NOT SO WITH MC ELECTRICAL, There install team arrived on site promptly at the arranged time, introduced themselves and got to work.
I was impressed with their work ethics, no person seemed to be in charge and all went about their work in an orderly and happy manner. Work progressed in a very professional manner and the job completed to my satisfaction.
I highly recommend MC ELECTRICAL as an great company to deal with, truly professional with exceptional staff.

Exceptional service

Having had many quotes and conversations about solar for my home, it was a very easy decision to go with MC Electrical. From start to finish they were brilliant and looked after us every step of the way. On time, polite, tidy, efficient and VERY good at what they do. I have and older home with old cabling that was dodgy and they went through everything to make sure it was all safe and looked like they had fun doing it! My system is fantastic and I'm very happy with it. From me and my Family to all the MC Electrical family....Thank you very much.

Had my solar system for 12 months now. 13.3 kw. Very impressed with the installers and their attention to detail and quality of the job. They organised everything and their communication was timely, clear and very helpful. I would highly recommend MC Electrical. After sales support and a follow up after 12 months reflects their commitment to their customers. We are also saving heaps on our electricity bills.

Solar system install

Knowledgeable sales person visted me on site.

Installers arrived on time on the install day. A very tidy install and cleaned up afterwards. Gave me a run through.of the system afterwards.

Very happy with the service so far, and I would highly recommend them.

I opted for a switchboard upgrade and got them to remove my old system which had failed, which increased the price I paid.

Brilliant Installer - Best in the Business!

We recently had a solar system installed by MC Electrical and I am extremely happy with the result and I can’t recommend them enough! The entire process from first contact to quote to install to handover to after sales customer service was nothing short of brilliant. I did a lot of research prior to the install and I knew what I wanted so I requested three quotes via the SolarQuotes website to compare pricing and products. All quotes were received quickly and pricing was similar with all quoting the Fronius Gen24 inverter, but different panels. Even though MC Electrical was a fraction more expensive, I chose to go with them for a few reasons. Firstly they clearly know solar, you just need to look at their website or YouTube channel to see they know their stuff. Secondly, they have their own employees, not subcontractors, which I think is important as it usually means a better quality install as the guys have more pride in their work. I was also happier with the Canadian Solar panels quoted by MC compared to the other quotes as they have been around a while and have great reviews on numerous websites. An additional benefit was MC being a Fronius Solutions Partner Plus which gives additional warranty on the inverter and more access to support if needed. Lastly, it is pretty hard to ignore all the amazing reviews MC Electrical gets on various websites. So, because of these reasons I decided to go with MC Electrical and I’m glad I did as the entire process was so easy. My initial quote from Ben was pretty much spot on, but I did have to go back a few times with questions and clarifications, all of which were answered quickly with no issues.

Once I gave the go ahead I was contacted super quickly to arrange an install date and was provided with all the info I would need to know moving forward. On install day, the team arrived on time and Alan gave me a quick run through, clarified a few things and then the guys set to work. I was home for the entire install and was so impressed with how the guys worked so well together and were so precise with how they went about things. Everything was done with no fuss and finished ahead of schedule, with all mess cleaned up and rubbish taken away. I was blown away with how neat and tidy the inverter install was and love how everything is labelled with etched tiles. My wife thinks I am weird, but I keep looking at the inverter in the garage and commenting how pretty it all is!

I was given a final run through on how everything works and the team was on their way. After the install, Jo and Kendall were in contact to finalise payment and provide a whole heap of information about the next steps, which was all so helpful. Every step I was kept up to date with detailed instructions, links and videos on what was next and what I needed to do. Logins were setup to the inverter monitoring service and all relevant applications were made to the energy provider so I was left with nothing to do but watch the kW production add up in the monitoring app. Thanks MC Electrical, you made the entire process so quick and easy, I will certainly be recommending you to anyone who asks (and probably some who don’t)!

The communication from MC Electrical was excellent for the entire process. They were very responsive to all of my questions and always followed up when required.

Professional Team

Happy from start to finish.
I found MC Electrical on the SolarQuotes website as a highly recommended business. The head office was near my workplace at Eagle Farm, so I dropped in unannounced one afternoon to discuss options for installation of a solar system, including a battery. After discussing possible options, I left feeling informed and confident that this company would deliver a quality product to suit my needs. Within 24 hours I received a quotation containing several installation options based on the discussions I had the previous day. I decided to go with a 12kW system combined with a 13.8kWh BYD battery. Following payment of the initial instalment, I was immediately provided with an installation date. As the installation date drew nearer, I received follow up calls from admin staff confirming the installation would proceed as planned. The installation occurred over two consecutive days and was accomplished by a team of tradesmen that obviously knew what they were doing. The work has been completed to a very high standard, which was in line with my expectations and I am very pleased with the results. My experience with MC Electrical has been positive across all sections of the business from the sales team to the office staff and tradespeople.
Price was important to me but it was not the primary driver. Rather, my focus was ensuring I received a high quality, reliable system and I believe that is what I have received. I highly recommend this company.

Great installer with great products

MC Solar was a pleasure to work with at every step. They took the time to discuss various options and considered my own views on the desired installation and performance during the quote. The installation happened as agreed and when the backup relay was faulty - which they found out during their testing - they made sure to replace it asap. Even though the installation ran till late, they took their time to explain everything and demonstrated how to operate and what to look out for. They also followed up a few weeks in to see how we felt it was performing. My only regret is not having sized the battery stack slightly bigger, we will see in a year.

Thank you for reviewing your experience with us, Karel. We're pleased to hear that our team was helpful and attentive throughout the process, from discussing options to ensuring a smooth installation. Your understanding during the backup relay issue is much appreciated, and we’re glad we could resolve it quickly.

Solar in Newport QLD

Have been researching this for some years and based on reviews and YouTube content chose MC Electrical for install.
Quote was done on sight by MC Electrical and they covered all my concerns including getting the inverter on an internal wall in the garage and including a "Catch Relay" for the HWS.

On the install day, guys showed up on time, there were many with others dropping by at planned stages to carry out their roles. There was a few challenges to get the cabling to meter box neat, (guess there always is if it is not installed when house is built). They figured a path for the cables and installed all cabling very neatly.

Site was totally clean when they finished.

Post-install they setup monitoring accounts with Fronius & Catch. They also submitted application to Energex and guided me through getting my Energy provider updated with the new system.

Confidence inspiring!

Highly professional team from the initial consultation, all the way to the install and customer service post install.

Solar consultant came prepared with all of the hardware spec sheets, mounting brackets and water proofing gear. This was more than I'd seen previously and straight away instilled confidence in the MC Electrical team.

Panel layout was reviewed during the pre installation site inspection which allowed for a further optimised layout.

Grid connection was processed by MC Electrical, as well as the notification post install for the meter upgrade.

Day of installation was seamless. Team was on time, professional, and had clear communication throughout the whole day. Any variables or placement options were discussed early to ensure the final install was both visually pleasing and function at the same time (PV Point placement etc). Monitoring platforms were discussed and shown how to use them.

Mark's youtube videos are a great tool and helped to understand all things solar (bills, monitoring solutions, tariffs etc) as well as the specifics of the Fronius GEN24.

Overall, very happy with the install and highly recommend MC Electrical.

Yorick came to do the sales quote and gave me the options and what he thought best fitted my house which was great cause it wasn't the most expensive one. The admin team were great in working out the install date and helping me alert my neighbours of the outage and how long for.

The team on the day installed the system without any issues , turned up on time and were very clean and informative of the process of the installation. They showed us exactly how the system worked and helped setup the app to monitor the system.

I am very happy with this install and highly recommend this company

Professional Installation

The sales and quotation process was smooth and included information on how the system would perform in our situation. The cost included the removal of the old system. Installation was a breeze. The crew were friendly, efficient and professional - they clearly knew their stuff! MC Electrical organized the paper work with Energex and the retailer with a meter change soon to occur. After installation support was helpful to enable us to access and understand inverter data.

Decent price, great service!

A very painless process from start to finish.

I found the quote to be fair for what I was getting and I was given practical advice around whether to go with a battery or not (I chose not to) and what options I could look at for panels.

I chose to go with MC Electrical as the installation team are all employed by MC Electrical (no third-party installers) and if there were any issues then they'd be the ones servicing the system.

The team arrived bang on time, tidied up everything after themselves, and were courteous and professional the entire time.

I would 100% choose them again.

Yes it's crucial for quality control of your installation that we use well-trained, long-term employees instead of subcontractors. Thanks for sharing your experience here on SolarQuotes as well as Google Reviews, James. We appreciate your support!

Extremely happy.

The whole process from initial contact to generating power was exemplary, they even gracefully handled the odd spanner I threw in.

In all seriousness though from my first interaction with the company to the last the service was fantastic. Their system consultant was willing to answer any questions while being extremely transparent and providing all the relevant information on the process, systems, pros and cons etc.

The installers arrived on time, well 2 months early as we got lucky and had our job moved forward. They were courteous, professional and did neat work anyone could be proud of. The install was quoted as a two day affair but a large team was sent and they received backup too so the whole install took just a day and still managed to bring down some afternoon power. Which was good because it allowed the installer to give us a full tour of the system and let us know what to expect moving forward.

The post install interactions with billing, account setups, documents and resources was good with multiple options for getting information or questions answered. MC electrical organised our grid connection and began the process for getting the obligatory meter change with our power company. I've already watched a couple of Mark's videos over at MC Electricals youtube channel to get more info on the inverter and to change it's wifi connection.

All in an all it was a fantastic, professional exchange with all parties involved being passionate about solar power! We'll be back when we're ready for batteries!

Great service and people

Recently had a battery system installed to complement the solar panels previously installed by MC Electrical. As with the solar panel installation MC Electrical provided first class service and installation of the battery.

Efficient sales and office staff kept up regular communication in the lead up to installation date, professional installation by electricians, very tidy job done, with good hand over instructions.

Prompt invoice/receipt provided which allowed me to lodge battery booster subsidy application with government within tight timeframes.

Would highly recommend MC Electrical for all things solar

Quality installation achieved by experieneced team

My experience with MC Electrical was excellent throughout. The installation team worked exceptionally well together, got along well, communciated continually and appeared to work efficiently. I'm very satsified with the quality of the installation. The wiring is tidy and compact. The components are installed level on the wall exactly where I wanted them to be. The team took into account the variation in our roof to ensure the panels were level and well placed. They consulted me as appropriate and ensured I was satisified with the quality of the work and the appearance of everything, which was particularly important to me.

Terrific seamless overall experience!!

Worked with MC Solar & Electrical start-to-finish on installation of our solar panel / inverter system, so we were familiar with their excellent work. From that experience, we naturally called them for our battery installation. Once again, a great team to deal with in terms of answering tech questions, sizing / quoting, planning and onsite installation (shout out to Shane & Lawrence for their skillful work & professionalism), and accounts / payment. They make the process of harnessing the sun quite seamless! :-)
