MC Electrical, Brisbane, Australia: The Added Value of Pioneering Solar PV Systems
One of the key considerations when choosing a solar system is the technology it employs. While there are various mainstream panel technologies available, one of the latest pioneering technologies is heterojunction (HJT). By opting for this cutting-edge technology, homeowners can ensure that their solar system remains at the forefront of innovation, even as the industry evolves.
Ben Neville, solar designer and estimator at MC Electrical, highlights the benefits of REC solar panels in his latest post on the MC Electrical blog:
“By having a better build, REC have been able to test their panels beyond the minimum Australian standards. Instead of surviving a hailstone 25mm in diameter and 8g weight, they survived a hefty 35mm, 20g one. Instead of surviving 56 days in an accelerated simulated salty environment, they have to survive 112 days (112 accelerated days would represent 20+ years in reality). Instead of surviving maximum voltage in sauna-like conditions for 40 hours, they’re tested beyond 96.”
When evaluating solar systems, it is essential not to focus solely on watt class and current system costs. Homeowners should delve deeper into the manufacturer's product and performance warranty. A comprehensive warranty not only provides peace of mind but also guarantees the system's reliability and performance over time. Important, in order to benefit from these warranties, homeowners must pay attention that the installer registers their solar panels on time.
To further enhance the system's longevity and efficiency, it is crucial to select reliable and trusted manufacturers and installers. By partnering with established industry leaders, homeowners can rest assured that their solar system will be installed to the highest standards, maximizing its potential and minimizing any possible issues.
“REC has roots back in Norway as early as 1996. They have an impeccable name in the Solar Industry. SolarQuotes released their 2024 Installer Choice awards, which is basically a panel rating system scored by solar installers around the country. REC won it by a hefty margin,” Neville continues.
Homeowners should prioritise working with local and certified installers who possess a deep understanding of the specific solar panel brand and are well-versed in the local specifications, such as wind and weather conditions or local regulations and incentives. This ensures that the system is installed optimally, taking into account the unique requirements of the homeowner's location.
Gus Paviani, Head of APAC for REC Group, prides MC Electrical for being part of the REC certified installer network: “MC Electrical is a no-nonsense and highly experienced installation company in Brisbane, QLD.

By embracing the latest technology, considering comprehensive warranties, and partnering with reputable manufacturers and installers, homeowners can secure their energy future and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a reliable and efficient solar PV system.
