About

At Eco Bay Electrical we understand how daunting the solar process can be. There are literally hundreds of products on the market out there, available in so many different sizes and quality. Adding to this confusion is all the misinformation you come across online.

Stress no more! We are here to help. We work closely with our clients on a personal level so that we can help you design a system that will uniquely suit your situation.

Eco Bay Electrical was established by Mitch in 2017 due to a passion for the solar industry. We’re a small family business focused on offering an unbeatable service. Being a small business, we don’t have the overheads of the larger companies and we can maintain good quality control through all aspects of our work.

We do not use sub-contractors on any of our installs and Mitch the owner is involved with every install.

Our installation team consists of 3 qualified electricians. They are all accredited solar installers and Mitch is also accredited for storage installations. Combined, we have 25yrs experience in the solar industry and back our workmanship with a 10 year warranty.

You can count on us to be available anytime to discuss and assist you with any concerns you might have about your project. We’ll be there for you from start to finish and also the weeks, months and years to come after the installation is complete.

We believe a free site inspection is a necessity so that we can gain an understanding of exactly what you require, according to your particular situation and circumstances.
We only use products whose manufacturers have a presence in Australia and offer good customer service.

We’re a one stop shop for most of your needs, as we also offer solutions in domestic and commercial electrical work plus split system air-conditioning.

We take immense pride in what we do and feel so lucky to have a job that not only helps the environment but saves our customers money as well.

Hopefully you can put your trust in us to help make your solar dreams come true.
So what are you waiting for? Contact Eco Bay and start saving the natural way!

A Trouble-free Process

I am very happy with Eco Bay Electrical Pty Ltd following their installation of our new 8kW solar system (Sungrow inverter and Winaico solar panels). The advice they gave was spot on and the installation and service were outstanding. I was dreading the process because I'd heard of the bad experiences of others. Our experience was completely trouble-free, within a very quick timeline. I value both honesty and good workmanship and I believe that we received both from Eco Bay Electrical. The fact that I'm completing this review speaks volumes because I generally avoid reviews like the plaque. However, I feel that Eco Bay gave me the benefit of their time and service, so I would like to respond appropriately. The installation was managed in a very tidy and workmanlike manner with extra time given to moving our TV antenna and hiding the cabling behind the brickwork. The after sales service has been good, too, as I had a couple of queries which were received courteously and answered thoroughly. Our system has been in place now since early October 2024 and we regularly refer to the Sungrow smart meter for updates on its efficiency and effectiveness. Sincere thanks to Mitch and Craig for their work on our behalf!

Owner of the company is the installer, no hard sales pitch.

Eco Bay Electrical impressed us from the beginning. The owner of the company who also does the installation was knowledgeable and friendly. There was no hard sales pitch just honest facts.
The installation went with out a hitch and the quality of the workmanship was excellent. They showed us how to install the app and it is a simple process to monitor how much solar we're generating. The connection to the grid was arranged by Eco Bay. I'd highly recommend Mitch and his team.

Quotes & Install the Way it Should be Done.

Having "attempted" to get details & quotes 5+ years ago and then compare the vagaries of each one at the time (as well as trusted installers) it was a nightmare. I like to think of it as comparing mobile plans in the dark ages when they first came out!

This time around using SolarQuotes I was put in contact with 3x verified installers, all of which made making a decision difficult. In the end I personally found the right balance with Eco Bay Electrical. They weren't necessarily the cheapest or the dearest but were as competitive in terms of competitive product offerings (panels/inverter) and installation. The install was slightly complicated by needing a switchboard refit which I was already aware of - all of which was verified via a very prompt visit to site as part of the initial response.

From here a final plan was produced & even with lots of questions from me a few times the team was patient, polite, knowledgeable, and helpful.

Once the install schedule was determined (very quick turn around), they arrived on site, did the install, and made all arrangements for energy company integration, grid connection, and metering update - all of which was done by them with zero requirement from me -> aka. perfect, I had to do nothing.

From day #1 the system has been running flawlessly and I have every expectation it will do so into the future. I can confidently recommend Mitch and the team at Eco Bay Electrical.

Best experience for a very long time

We used Finn Peacock's Solar Quotes to source the three solar installers from whom we received quotes. We would have been comfortable going with any one of the three. They were all very good.

Mitch and "Eco Bay" stood out because of the great price and apparent knowledge of all things solar. Outstanding for a comparatively young bloke (Mitch just turned 31 while on our job). It was a bonus that Mitch was also accredited for the Qld Government "Battery Booster" scheme.

Mitch climbed onto our roof when he called to provide our quote and made a point of locating solar panels in the most efficient spots. He even relocated our existing TV antenna so that it wouldn't cast a shadow on the solar panels. Unbelievably even the small shadow of the TV antenna would have reduced efficiency. Mitch also installed a smaller heater element in our hot water system to better match with solar generation and help maximise efficiency.

Mitch was reliable for punctuality and very pleasant to deal with. He sorted out connection with the grid and he will continue to keep a watch on our systems performance via the Sungrow App.

We were so impressed by the whole experience that we got Mitch back to do some other electrical work for us.

Great from office end to installation

The only quote we had where the sales person was the installer, and he was the only one that climbed up on the roof before he gave us a quote. Family business - great service from start to finish.

Hey Anthony
Really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review.
Roof inspections are a must for us. We like the installation to go as smoothly as possible, the more checks we do prior, the more guarantee the job will go well.
Enjoy the savings.

Quality solar installation

Can’t speak highly enough of Mitch and his team from EcoBay Electrical. The whole process from arranging for a quote through to the installation of our solar system was professional, thorough and friendly. I would highly recommend this company to anyone considering solar installation.

Above and Beyond

Eco Bay are a small family-owned business. Of the several companies I approached for quotes they were the only ones that did an on-site inspection rather than relying on Google maps satellite view. They talked me through the process and provided lots of useful written information on the process and products to help me decide.
Due to bad weather the job was unable to be completed in one day and was scheduled to be completed on another. Unfortunately, SE QLD experienced a significant weather event with effects of a cyclone and then extremely hot and humid weather. Mitch from Eco Bay, arrived on the hottest day of the year to complete the job, definitely above and beyond normal customer service. Eco Bay kept me informed throughout the process and contacted the necessary companies to organise the switch to solar and the grid connection. I would highly recommend this company.

First class installation and service

The sales and quoting process was easy and Mitch was able to provide useful information and present options.

The installation was first class and the team were a pleasure to deal with.

Customer service is clearly a focus for this company. Every task has been smooth, well organised and complete.

Real pro !

When we started our search for a solar panel installer, Mitch was the only one to climb on the roof. That's when I learned that he was the installer too. what's better than someone who knows what he's talking about. During the installation, everything went well: precise, efficient and clean work. All the procedures with Energex and our energy supplier were carried out by Craig (the father of Mitch) who takes care of all the administrative part. Thank you Eco Bay Electrical

Hey Thomas
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Glad to hear you were happy with the service from Eco Bay. We couldn’t agree more! It’s always a good idea to get on the roof and have it checked out by qualified person before quoting. It ensures you have a smooth hassle free installation, that’s why we operate this way.
Enjoy the solar savings.

Great Solar Install/Electrical Company

Had two other quotes given but decided on Eco Bay Electrical, glad I did for these reasons:

- onsite inspection with questions explained simply and clearly
- the quote was competitive but without loss of quality components
- professional installation and on time
- mobile app monitoring software installed and explained
- after sales response excellent

Definitely recommend this company.

Good one on one information the day following initial contact

Customer service was great by Mitch
He organised everything and did the job with 2 others
They were on time and 3 did the install in one day
They organised the grid connection
We didn’t have to do anything
Fascinating watching each of them carry a panel up a ladder like walking up a staircase
I have given them further electrical business as a result of their efficiency and customer service

Hi Lynette, thank you for an awesome review. It was a real pleasure to work with you guys on your solar project. It's a nice size system so looking forward to hearing about all the savings down the track. Catch up with you again soon for the electrical work. Cheers

No pressure, just good advice and a great installation

You get what you pay for and I got good service, great products and peace of mind.

Quotes were great, options clearly laid out. No pressure applied at all, answered all my queries and concerns and was nothing but pleasant throughout the whole process. No stuffing around, last minute changes or short cuts. They did what they said they would when they said they would. Can’t speak highly enough of the service from start to finish from the whole team.

Hope all is well.
Thanks

11 months later we asked Kevin: "Are you happy with the performance of your system so far?"

The system has been great. It's less about the money you make via exports and more about the money you save through reduced imports. This is the key thing to understand when choosing whether to get a solar system and what system suits you. Find yourself a good installer, which this website helped me to do and ask them every question you can think of. Even the installers I didn't go with were great with explaining what products they prefer and why as well as what their system can do and what the best set up is for you and why.

Wonderful Company

Mitch, Craig & the Eco Bay Team were fantastic and easy to work with. They accommodated my many questions and took the time to explain things to me. I admit that I do not have enough knowledge about solar installation and what to look for so to have Craig and Mitch explain in a way that wasn't condescending was refreshing. Communication in the lead up to the installation and afterwards was brilliant and easy. I definitely would recommend them! Thank you for connecting us Solar Quotes

Prompt and professional

I found Eco Bay Electrical via the Solar Quotes website and had a call back within 24hrs with an on-site quote arranged for the following day, and an install 2 weeks later - absolutely fantastic turnaround time and great communication from both Mitch and his dad Craig.

I thought the quote was well priced, and matched with what we discussed during the on site visit. I've had friends remark that they thought I did really well to find such a good deal for a 3-phase double storey install.

Mitch and his team were prompt and friendly on both days (they were nearly blown off the roof it was so windy the first day and had to come back the next day to do the panels). The work is clean and tidy, and the "Sunny Covers" inverter enclosure looks great.

Thanks again Eco Bay, but please send help - I'm getting addicted to my usage graphs!

Great Solar Installation Company

The team at Eco Bay Electrical were very patient with us with delays on installing our of our collective control after we had engaged to install. Roof leak repairs by others. There was constant discussions to keep updated when we could schedule works after these repairs were completed.
Mitch & the team were very easy to deal with in the quoting process, very prompt to engage with us to do a site inspection to ensure the most optimal system was installed for us. They listened to the queries I had and requests for system and provided appropriate answers to these queries and requests.
Craig was easy to deal with to keep updated on works, scheduling of install, as well as details on what to expect post install with supply authority and retailer processes.
First installation day of two was a little hampered by intermittent rain, but the Mitch & the Eco Bay Electrical team were able to install the system without issue. Second day was completing the inverter install and switchboard modifications.
They listened to and worked with myself to ensure in ceiling layout of connecting wiring and adjustments of switchboard worked well.
Thank you Mitch, Craig and Team. Very happy with the system so far.

Hi Ashley
Thanks so much for taking your time to leave us a review.
We are thrilled to hear you are happy with the service Eco Bay provides.
No worries at all with the delays, it’s always better to have roof leaks fixed prior to panel installation so it worked well for the both of us!
Enjoy the savings mate!

Fantastic experience from quote to post installation

Mitch and his team were fantastic to deal with. Prompt, professional with fantastic workmanship. Great advice given on the exact set up of our system and what would work best for us. They managed all the paperwork, including helping organising grid connection after the install. The install itself was seamless and the team were polite, friendly and more than happy to answer all my endless annoying questions. It was definitely refreshing to deal with a team that value good ol fashion customer service and honesty and take pride in both the quality of the products they install and how they install them. Would absolutely use Eco Bay Electrical again and would recommend them to anyone needing Solar......in fact our neighbor has already signed up for a system with them.

Pain-free installation with great service

Mitch came to our house and answered all of our questions with calmness and thoughtfulness, no matter how many times we asked them. No question was considered stupid. He clearly explained what he thought we needed and WHY that was suitable for our house. He listened to what we wanted and then went off and prepared a quote that he sent to us when he said it would be sent.

The installation was a totally pain-free process for us. Mitch and his co-worker arrived when he said they would. They were polite and pleasant at all times, taking time to answer more of our questions when we asked. They would have to be the tidiest and most pleasant tradespeople we've met in years. Polite. Tidy. Punctual.

Best of all, Mitch handled all the annoying paperwork for us.

We never do online reviews but we had such a positive experience that we think this is one small company that really deserves to be praised.

Professional, cost effective and fast for big system.

Quoting was good, they had flexibility on panels and inverter. And understood the tech to recommend some cost effective but still good choices.

Installation was done in 2 days, which is fast for a system this big. The team were all friendly.

Grid connection was no hassle, as they organised it properly and I just double checked it was scheduled in.

These guys are worth working with and more friendly than the competitors who quoted.
