What our customers say

What we install

Two services, quoted separately or together. Both are designed around your roof, your switchboard and your bills rather than a package deal.

Solar installation

Rooftop solar sized to your actual consumption, not to whatever fits the biggest number on a quote.

What’s included

  • Roof, switchboard and bill assessment before anything is quoted
  • Panel layout designed around your roof pitch and shading
  • Supply, install and commissioning under our electrical contractor licence
  • Energex grid connection application lodged for you
  • STC paperwork prepared and lodged on your behalf
  • Electrical compliance certificate issued on completion

Roof types

Tin, tile and flat roofs. North-facing gives the best yield, though east and west splits work well if you use power in the mornings and evenings.

Battery storage

Store what your panels make during the day so you are not buying it back at peak rates after dark.

What’s included

  • Usage review to size the battery against your evening load
  • Retrofit to an existing solar system or installed alongside a new one
  • Backup circuit wiring so nominated circuits stay live in an outage
  • Switchboard upgrade where the existing board will not carry it
  • Commissioning, monitoring setup and app walkthrough
  • Electrical compliance certificate issued on completion

Best suited to

Households that want blackout protection, and anyone on a time-of-use tariff paying a premium for evening power.

Why homeowners choose MRF

  • Licensed electrical contractor

    Every job is completed and certified under our own Queensland electrical contractor licence, so responsibility for the work sits with us.

    Licence ECL 86600 (QLD)

  • Accredited to install solar

    Accreditation is what makes your system eligible for the federal STC scheme. Ours is current and verifiable.

    SAA No. S1377838

  • Based on the northside, not a call centre

    We work out of Albany Creek. When something needs looking at, you are dealing with the same local business, not a call centre interstate.

  • We answer after hours

    Electrical faults do not keep business hours. There is a genuine 24/7 emergency line for urgent electrical work.

Not sure if solar's worth it for your place?

Book a free assessment and we'll size a system to your actual usage - and tell you straight if the numbers don't stack up.

How it works

Four steps from first phone call to a system that is running. No surprises bolted on at the end.

  1. Free assessment

    We check your roof, switchboard and last few power bills, then tell you what your place can actually take.

  2. Design and quote

    A panel layout and battery sizing built for your roof and your usage pattern, priced in writing.

  3. Install day

    All work is carried out and certified under our own electrical contractor licence, and we tidy up before we leave.

  4. Switch-on and support

    We commission the system, walk you through the app, and stay on the end of the phone afterwards.

Micaela
I've used Matt and his team for several projects at our home and we couldn't be happier with their service. The team are very professional, friendly and responsive, and they go above and beyond to get the job done properly and in a timely manner. If you need an electrician you can place your trust in, who will show up when they say they will, and whose craftsmanship is top notch - call them. You will not be disappointed!
