Our recent solar panel and battery install went very well and any communication was responded to almost immediately. The consultant Reuben was very informative and considerate of our needs and the team of four that did the installation were prompt, efficient and very respectful on the day and the explanation of the system and its operation given… Read more · 1

Hi, I just received a call from your company today (2 April 2026) at around 3:45 pm. The caller had my phone number and address. I advised that I have not given consent for my personal information to be used for telemarketing.

Best workmanship and advice. Quality company through and through. Installers are friendly and even fixed some of my broken tiles and sealed them. Show details · 1

It’s now 6 weeks since we had our 8.8kw and 20kwh Growatt battery with 5kw hybrid inverter installed by MLEC. When shopping around for an installer we got quotes from around 15 companies. When I started looking at reviews from those companies it was apparent the cheapest is not always the best when you need support for your system years later.… Read more · 1
With the added complexity of batteries I decided it was worth spending a little more to go with a company that had a good track record of service and support and used its own paid staff for installation, not sub contractors. The team of installers was very polite and friendly. Upon stating it was discovered that the position we had planned to install the battery and inverter wasn’t suitable due to a change in the safety rules around the distance they needed to be from other utilities. The installers were excellent at working with me at finding an alternative position that ended up being much better protected and while it created more work for them (further from the switchboard) there was no additional charge for the additional work it caused them. They removed my old 2kw solar and replaced with new 8.8kw system and hooked up the 20kwh of Growatt batteries in one day. Growatt were very helpful in the phone with the installer helping him to problem solve some issues which gave me great confidence that Growatt have technical support for the companies that install them. The installation team ensured I was happy with the installation before leaving, explaining all the features of the app and inverter display. We did end up having an issue with too much load when charging both our EV’s and emailed MLEC. They returned within 24 hours and changed the switchboard configuration to spread the load across our 3 phases which fixed the issue. This was a great test of their service promise and they passed first time! The Shine App which comes with the Growatt setup is excellent. I’ve seen a number of other solar system apps and this one is mix more detailed allowing you to really dig down into the system statistics and live information. One of the benefits of the hybrid inverter setup is even when we are using the full 5kw of AC power the balance of the DC power generated by the panels still feeds to the batteries, so you’re getting more benefit of an oversized solar panel setup. We only use about 2-3kwh of the battery overnight so often we setup one of our EVs on a trickle charger over night if we want to take 10-15kwh and put in the the EV. The battery is usually full again by 10 to 11am. I highly recommend both MLEC as a company and the Growatt battery/inverter system.

This was a replacement of a 11 year old system to a much bigger unit with 15Kw battery backup. I was given the choice of where to install the Inverter and batteries but I decided to have it installed where my original Inverter was anyway. The 4 guys worked as a team, in the garage, on the roof , at the meter box. Only snag was a damaged Solar… Read more · 1
panel, but another 1 was found at the workshop and bought around to finish the job. I was given the run through of the App to download on my phone for the Wifi connection and a quick idea of what I was looking at. Finished by 2.30pm. Great job.

Team did a superb job installing our solar panels. Son-in-law , who is an electrician, said the guys did a very neat job with electrical wiring. Everything is neatly hidden away under the roof. Well done, guys. ✅✅✅ Show reply
Follow-up · We had more solar panels placed in our down south home but due to having no internet, the whole process took a lot longer with many phone calls between us, MLEC, Western Power and Synergy. In fact, we had to do a lot of work behind the scenes to even get our power connected. Not an enjoyable experience seeing as we had paid for our panels 6… Read more

I used MLEC Solar 4 yrs ago, & like before, the entire process to install (expand + battery July 2025) solar was faultless. Even after I had paid, their after sales service (manufacturer software issues) was equally excellent. I highly recommend… Read more · 1
them. I'd expect that because they are an in-house installation company, that this likely benefits everyone when something goes wrong.
Follow-up · I was pleasantly surprised that my 10kwh battery seems to be adequate for our household needs, but for context, we are big power users during the day & we have a 10kw inverter with 12kW panels which is excellent for our needs. The battery helps fill in the gaps. At night time when we use the ducted aircon sometimes, we get about 4hrs of battery… Read more

Through Solar Quotes, MLEC had the best resources, which gave us confidence in a high-quality solar installation and ongoing support. The installation team also had an apprentice, so they are investing in the future. We now have our second solar system using Solar Quotes recommended companies.. Show details · 1
The three installers were top rate, very experienced and professional. Job done in under five hours. We are delighted to have used your company, right from the start when we met Julian and discussed the whole the installation. Hopefully now we can look forward to cheaper power rates.

Negative reviews
The Growatt branded batteries are not reliable. Also the after sales service of MLEC Solar is questionable. My battery is having a recurring fault which the team is trying to solve distantly with Growatt's help but Growatt is not easily accessible. Also MLEC does not have readily available technicians for troubleshooting in all states of Australia. They are mainly WA centred.
Damaged my property – The electrical contractor sent out to install my property made and error and cooked a number of things on my property including a very costly pool chlorinator. Accidents happen but when I've tried to follow it up with MLEC they have denied it was their fault. Highly recommended avoiding this business Show details

Bad follow up service – we discovered an error message on the inverter which indicated low PV voltage production. I called MLEC on the Thursday and spoke to a service rep who promised to call me back with a date and time for a service person to attend. It's now the following Tuesday and I cant get through to the MLEC reception after 7 or 8 attempts, it just goes to… Read more
message bank. I have also left emails but to no avail. Every day the system is down is costing us money. After good initial service for the installation it seems they are not interested in follow up service, very disappointing.

The Team who installed the Solar system and battery / inverter were very detailed. Installation was done to a high standard, even running through the App with us prior to leaving.

MLEC Solar installed a 14.96 kW domestic system with 34 Jinko panels, a Fronius Symo GEN24 10.0 Inverter and 3x BYD HVM 2.76 batteries.

account, it was a a good deal. *the hiccup was that the inverter and the battery were not communicating properly once installed, which was due to the inverter only working with 4 or more battery units and we were advised that 3 would perform adequately. MLEC installed a 4th battery unit at close to cost price, so we ended up with more battery capacity in order to solve the problem. They were very apologetic and I didn't feel too annoyed about the whole thing - I'm sure that intercompatibility issues with different company's products must be a nightmare to work out in a rapidly changing and developing field.
They were on time, introduced themselves, polite and we ran through what was going to happen over the day and confirmed location and what it would like when completed. Kept me up to date over the day, cleaned up well after themselves and ran me through the operation of the system and confirmed it was connected to the Wi-Fi and registered. Still early days but all in all very happy with the service and solution. Show reply

In December, 2024 I had a 6.6kW Solar Panel System installed by MLEC. This week (October, 2025) MLEC installed an Alpha 10kW Battery, and I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience.

led by Jacob, ably supported by Jordan and Karl. They really knew their stuff — they answered all my questions, explained the system clearly, and ensured everything was working perfectly before they left. The install looks clean and tidy, and I’m already seeing the benefits. If you’re thinking about going solar or adding a battery, I’d definitely recommend giving them a call. Great service, great team!
