Good quality and great service

The quoting was an easy and detailed process. This is my second install from MC Electrical. The installion of 36 panels, an EV charger, extra 15 amp socket, extra fuses to allow for more air conditioners later and a T3 powerwall was done in one day by a professional team. The place was left very tidy with no rubbish left on site. The system was powering my house and charging the battery before they left.

Hi Michael, thank you for your continued trust in MC Electrical. We're grateful for your loyalty and appreciate you taking the time to review us and detail the features of your second installation. Enjoy your energy independence!

Exceptional Service - Throughout the Entire Process

I would highly recommend MC Electrical to install new solar panels. From the initial consult with Nicole - who took the time to go over all of the details and answer any questions that I had - to the final install the MC Electrical were fantastic. I received very clear communication about the pre- and post-installation process, which was exceptional given the complexity of the various elements.

Everyone that I dealt with at MC Electrical was top notch and I really like that they're a local Brisbane company who supports other local companies. I also feel confident knowing that MC Electrical only deal with reliable suppliers and that the panels and inverter are top quality. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again or refer friends and family to them.

Hi Brin, thanks for taking the time to review us here and on Google, and for highlighting our exceptional service. We appreciate your support for our local Brisbane company and look forward to assisting you again in the future.

Amazing Service

From start to finish MC Electrical were fantastic. Every staff member we worked with from Nicole in sales, to Alan and the team who installed the solar equipment to Bek and Jo in the office was very kind, thorough and professional. Nicole was even kind enough to help us sort out a roof issue while she was on leave over the Christmas break. We never expected that level of service but it really made our day. Everything followed their project timeline perfectly. All staff arrived when they said would and their after-sales service has been second to none, so I definitely would recommend the MC Electrical team to anybody looking for a solar installer. Thanks again :)

Highly recommended to anyone considering solar installation!???

We recently had MC Solar and Electrical install our solar system, and we couldn’t be happier with the entire experience! From start to finish, the team was professional, efficient, and clearly dedicated to delivering top-quality service.

A special shoutout to Josh, the electrician, who was absolutely fantastic. He was personable, knowledgeable, and meticulous in his work, ensuring that every detail was handled with care. His expertise and friendly approach made the whole process smooth and stress-free.

The rest of the MC Solar team was equally impressive—working together seamlessly to complete the job efficiently while maintaining the highest standards. They left the site in perfect condition, with everything clean and tidy.

If you’re looking for a reliable, professional, and customer-focused solar company, look no further than MC Solar.

Supplier Reply:

Hi Daniel, thanks for your thoughtful review and for choosing to go with us. It’s great to hear that Josh and the team delivered the high standard of service we pride ourselves on. Attention to detail, professionalism, and a clean finish are all part of what we do, and we appreciate you highlighting that. Enjoy your solar system!

BYD Battery Install, MC Electrical

How can one explain the process of working with MC Electrical the install of everything solar. First of all, go to the MC Electrical web site, everything needed to make informed decisions, and not afraid to call out the unprofessional side of the Solar Industry.
By not putting them at the top of your list in installing solar, you would be doing yourself a great disservice.
I originally had my roof top solar panels installed by MC ElectricalL last year and was so impressed with the sales and service, the professional workmanship of the employees (not subcontractors) that I decided to expand my Fronius system with a BYD Battery.
After 1 day, I am convinced I made the right decision as my house ran all night on battery power and by midday the following day, battery was fully charged and the house was running on Solar with no power coming from the grid and also a small amount feeding back to the grid. How good is that, very small bill to come next month.
MC Electrical may not be the dollar value that people are looking for however, quality and workmanship rate highly with me and that is why I chose MC Electrical

1st time solar user

MC Electrical have made the whole solar journey a pleasurable experience. The team were very knowledgeable and kept us informed throughout the whole process which made it very enjoyable. The installers did a fantastic job, cleaned up after themselves and were more than happy to answer any questions that we had about the installation and maintenance of the solar system. On completion of the installation the office staff have been very diligent about ensuring that we are up and running and connected back to the grid. I would recommend MC Electrical to anyone that is thinking about getting solar connected to their home.

Peace if mind (Quality and Service)

I got a few quotes for my solar system. MC Electrical was not the cheapest, but by far the most professional and after looking at numerous reviews and interaction with different companies - I felt confident that MC Electrical was the best choice to go with.

With the installation, they were on time, very professional in their work and dealings with us throughout the day.

After installation they assisted very well with all transitions and follow-up actions.

Friendly and very help-some team.

What an Amazing Experience with MC Electrical

Had an amazing experience with MC Electrical from the quotation stage through to installation. Mark B was very patient with all my questions during the initial stage and same with Brady S and team during installation. Even Jo from Accounts Team has been very helpful with all my queries. All were very professional, polite and friendly. It’s too early to leave a review for both the solar panels and inverter performance but so far so good! Happy with my decision to go with MC Electrical. Highly recommended!

Really happy with MC

I was a little hesitant at first to have MC visit before providing a quote, but it is absolutely the right move. Nicole came out and showed me about their products and answered all of my questions. I really like that they have their own "lab" to test their products and the effects of different scenarios on efficiency. These guys are more than just a reseller.

The install lead time was a little long (about 2 months) but the customer service along the way was excellent. The installers did an amazing job as well they checked my home circuits during the switch board upgrade and even fixed a faulty ground on a light setting at no charge.

Day of the solar Install was so smooth. They showed up with 4 guys and just got it done. It only took about 6 - 7 hours for a 13 kW system. I'm not an expert, but the quality of the workmanship looks great.

They are a premium service and won't be the cheapest quote you get, but I would still highly recommend MC for your solar needs.

Supplier Reply:

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for taking the time to leave your honest feedback here and on Google as well. As Mark mentioned in his reply on Google, our lead times are longer as we don't subcontract during busy periods like other companies, and that ensures quality control. Our long-term employees are trained to a high standard of workmanship, and it’s great to hear you appreciated their expertise.

A fantastic company to deal with

This is the 2nd time we have had MC Electrical install our Solar Panels. Both times they have been awesome! So friendly, approachable, professional and we highly recommend!

Hi Heidi, thank you for trusting us again for your solar installation. It’s always great to hear from returning customers, and we’re thrilled that both experiences have been positive. We’re glad to have been able to help once again.

High quality

The customer service experience was excellent, never had issues getting in touch with anyone who could answer my questions. Sales and quotes were efficient and easy, never felt pushed or harassed unlike many other companies. They provided a high-quality system with a price that was comparable to other quotes I received for objectively cheaper or lesser capacity parts (465w panels instead of 440w, Fronius inverter instead of Sungrow/others).

They also accommodated installing a self supplied EV charger as well as a 'PV Point' from the fronius inverter to provide some limited blackout protection, all within the paid price.

The install crew were always on-time, never complained once, and it was clear over the course of the install day that they spent plenty of time ensuring a proper and clean installation. Even caught one of the installers roaming the property late in the day checking for rogue trash, A++.

Could not recommend them enough. Being one of the top rated installers in the SE QLD area i expected to pay a premium, and that was not the case. It is clear from spending a few minutes on their website that they are selling solar the way it should be sold. This is more than just a solar installation company, and they are trying to set the standard for doing it right, doing it well, and want to continue to evolve and keep up with all the industry standards, best practices and best products.

Wow, thanks for such a stellar review, Nicholas! Your recognition of our commitment to quality and best practices means a lot.

Thanks again, and reach out if you ever need anything in the future.

Great service MC Electrical

After initial conversation with Mark at the main office, providing his knowledge of solar systems and batteries then Ben in the sales team helped us make decisions on what was the right setup for updating our energy requirements, we made the decision to install our energy system through Mc Electrical.

Then Joanna who organised the installation team and keeping updated was well communicated.

On the day of installation Shaun and his team arrived on time and answered all our questions thoroughly throughout the installation process.

We were more than happy with our experience with Mc Electrical and would recommend them to anyone thinking on installing a solar and battery system
Many thanks

Second installation by MC Electrical

After moving to a new property and realising the solar need updating I knew I'd be contacting MC Electrical.

This is the second time I've used them for a solar install, they're just excellent at what they do.

Stand out points include advice during quotation, no pushy sales approach, answering questions and guidance as to battery viability (not for me this time but never say never), communication from the office and the polite & considerate install team.

I've recommended MC Electrical a few times (based on my previous install) and won't hesitate to again. They make your solar install as plug-and-play as you could need.

Thanks team.

Hi J, thank you for choosing us again for your solar installation — it’s always a pleasure to work with returning customers.

First time solar

Every step of the process was extremely well done. Quotes were comprehensive and communication was ever present and professional. The install itself was half a day and I was shown how to operate the inventory on completion. I can now monitor my system via phone and desktop for real-time information on my new solar panels. Overall, very happy.

Amazing Install and Fantastic Quality

How was the sales/quoting process:

The sales process was quick and smooth, I was greet and ran threw some preliminary questions before speaking to the solar consultant, this was to help the consultation go smoothly. Once done I had a quote in a day!

How did the installation go? Polite? Tidy? Punctual:

The install was the best, this company goes above and beyond. They send out an electrician who goes through and makes sure everything will run smoothly on the day. On install day they arrived on time and got to work ensuring my satisfaction was at the top of their list. The install was fast and they left a clean and tidy area.

How was the customer service? e.g. did they help organise the grid connection after the install, or show you how to use the charger:

The team on the day showed me how to get started and indicated the customer service team would also be going through this. The next day they made sure all the access was provisioned and stepped me through it.

10/10 on every level and was so impressed, especially when they were the highest rated and ended up being the cheapest of 3 quotes.

Very satisfied

After some minor communication issues at the beginning, the team at MC Electrical did a fantastic instillation that was very professional. They managed to identify a few problems with our home and quickly managed to find solutions to these issues and were excellent to work with and paid meticulous attention to detail. They even did a fantastic job of cleaning up after themselves. I could not recommend MC Electrical more.

Fantastic experience

From the first quote through to installation, the team at MC Electrical were fantastic. The initial quote went through all of the details, pros and cons of each brand, ran through all of the options so that we were able to make an informed decision. Between quote and installation there was a site visit by an electrician to make sure everything was accounted for and that nothing had been missed prior to installation. Installation day went smoothly, the team arrived on time, and completed the works with no issues. After sales support has been fantastic for any questions we have had and the system has been running perfectly since installation.

People SAY a lot of things.

MC Electrical:

- 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great install, quality job and top after sales support

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)!
