Setup of the Sungrow Hybrid with LG Batteries – MC Electrical

Working as Sungrow’s warranty agent in South East Qld, Sungrow asked me to do a training video to help with electricians as they install and program the new Sungrow Hybrid SH5kTL inverter.

This is my second video on the Sungrow Hybrid SH5K, where I explain for installers how to set up the Sungrow inverter with the LG Chem battery.

The Sungrow SH5K and LG Chem is one of several systems that power our office at Eagle Farm. We have them on a display wall – you are welcome to drop in as ask Ryan or myself questions.

We’re currently waiting on our second generation of the Sungrow Hybrid to be sent to our office for testing. The big advantage is that it will continue to run when there is a blackout in “EPS” mode. It should be released in the third quarter 2016 – but we all know these things blow out!

MC Electrical

Nice and neat installation. Cleaned up afterwards and all the blokes were nice and easy to chat with. The layout looked nice and professional. Would recommend.

MC Electrical were exceptional to deal with, from the first engagement over the phone, through to the initial sales consultation with Yorick which was informative, professional and consultative.They listened and provided some great advice around pros and cons of various options, their sales collateral was excellent and the actual engagement and installation process was seamless and professional.Mark has obviously built a great team culture, all of his staff are professional, courteous and obviously passionate about what they do.I did a lot of research before choosing MC Solar and I couldn’t have been happier with my decision. They are an exceptional business and I’ve already referred others to them based on my experience.Mark (Annerley, June 2023 install)13.3kw Canadian Solar panels10kw Fronius Hybrid Inverter

MC Electrical have just installed a 13 kWh system at our house and I cannot recommend them highly enough.From the initial sales consultation to the pre install site visit by Alan and then the scheduling of the installation by the office staff to the actual installation by Alan and his team today, they all went above and beyond what was necessary to make the experience as easy as possible.It is rare to find diligent and efficient and professional "old school" service nowadays and MC Electrical have it in spades.If you want a solar system of the best quality installed by professionals then you need to contact MC Electrical.

Was referred to MC by a friend who is getting work done, outstanding work, I had to get some extra switchboard work done as it was an old house. Professional and Neat installation, they have a good back-end support and set everything up for you.I have an EV and they handled putting in the charger etc, Not the cheapest but I went with them because I heard they were end too end great installers and not some cowboys, I wanted to make sure I get some back up service if anything goes wrong... which from what I have seen shouldn't. From the installers to the Office staff, big thumbs up.They also thing outside the box if there is something that needs to be changed on your installation.

MC Electrical installed a BYD battery (16.6 kWh), Fronius Symo GEN 24 8.0 Inverter and Wattpilot home 22kW EV charger on 18th September.The whole process from initial contact to installation and commissioning was very professional. I was kept fully informed throughout.Ben was very helpful with my requests for information and providing quotes for a few options.Shane (electrician), Jin and Stephan (apprentices) did a neat job replacing the existing inverter with the new one, installing the battery (connecting to my existing solar panels) and EV charger.A big thank you to Shane for returning promptly to track down a faulty isolation switch on the EV charger which was faulty on one phase.The system is performing very well.If you are looking at installing a PV system, battery or EV charger I recommend you give MC Electrical the opportunity to assist you.

Thanks for the awesome service!

I recently had an issue with connecting to my solar system due to a change in home internet. MC Electrical jumped onto it straight and resolved the issue within a couple of days of me reporting the issue. Their after-sales service support is second to none. A massive shout out to Dane and Brooklyn for their outstanding customer service and urgency to resolve the issue which was caused by a faulty dongle. Well done MC Electrical. You guys rock!

MC Electrical is absolutely amazing! Their sales team is top-notch, demonstrating excellent knowledge and expertise. The company's communication is outstanding, keeping me informed every step of the way. The traddies who handled the installation were not only respectful, but also completed the job quickly and efficiently. They took great care in leaving the site neat and tidy. I can't recommend MC Electrical enough!

MC Electrical installed our 11kwh solar system and they did a brilliant job.The workmanship is to a very high standard and the staff are friendly and helpful. After service care is also fantastic.There was a little bit of confusion as to where exactly on the roof the panels were to be installed due to a last minute panel orientation change. I wasn't happy with the end result and MC electrical sent staff around to assess and moved a large section of panels that would have been at significant cost to them. Most companies would have walked away and it's an absolute credit to their service.Thanks MC electrical, I wouldn't look anywhere else - you get what you pay for.

Great company. They aren't the cheapest but you get what you pay for so for an investment like solar you want to use someone you can trust. We installed solar using MC Electrical in 2022 and the before, during and after support is great. Strongly recommend using them.

They're the best in town for a reason! Every tiny details like the brackets they used to screw the panels onto the roof are of highest quality and rust-free.

Honestly, I am very appreciative of these guys. No fault of their own, my system was much more complicated than most jobs, including 3 phase meter upgrades for my business. They helped me with Energex and went above and beyond to make sure my solar system was connected and working. They were easy to talk to and always answered my questions both on-site and over the phone. This is my first time installing solar, and it can be a headache trying to sift through to find the right provider but boy am I glad to have found these guys. Highly recommend and thank you for the support.

Excellent communication and quality of work.

Excellent sharing of information, Mark was very forthcoming with information.

From our initial chat with Nicole through to Shane and the team that installed our new solar, the entire MC Electrical team have been an absolute pleasure to deal with. We are very happy with our new solar and helping do our part for the planet. I would recommend them to any who wants to get solar!Thanks again 😊

A+++++ MC Solar & Electrical have exceeded my expectations. I had a 5KW system installed and it has been excellent. From the initial enquiry to quote, to installation and follow up, they have been very professional, prompt and reliable. Product and workmanship is second to none! They even rang me up a few weeks after the installation to check that everything including the solar wifi system monitoring has been going well. My power bills have dropped from over $1200 to below $200 per quarter after the installation! WOW, I'm very happy. I would recommend Mark and his team to anyone who wants good reliable service at a competitive price. Thank you again :)I was so happy I added another 10KW system after 6 years with the original (still going strong 💪) now I’ve got 15KW in total, the job done was excellent as before! Thanks again 😉

They did a amazing job recently installing our solar panels, couldn't be more happier with the outcome. Also the team of guys who came out were very professional, clean after installation, easy to communicate with and can tell they are all good friends :) would definitely recommend them to others. Thank you guys!

MC Electrical state that one of their goals is excellent customer service and support. This customer focus is very evident even in just the nice little additions that they add. Post sales support has been excellent. I highly recommend this very professional crew, as I know you will always be very happy with the result.

MC Electrical are without a doubt a fantastic company to deal with. Unbelievable customer service and very high quality work. If you are looking for a no fuss, high quality solar installer, don't look elsewhere. These guys are very reliable and after-sales support is stellar.

The team at MC Solar are amazing. From getting the quote from Nicole, arranging installation with Hannah and the work done by Josh and the team was second to none. Highly recommend.

I was recommend by my sister to use MC Electrical to install my solar system and i was very happy from the start to the end of the job. The boys that install the system was with friendly and left my place tidy after the job was done. I highly recommend MC Electrical. To all the team at MC Electrical thank you for a great job.Belinda Smith

Finally we made the decision to get a solar system and chose MC Electrical from 3 quotes and are so glad we did. We were very apprehensive as we are not "technically minded" but they explained everything very clearly from quotation, through the installation process and how to set up the inverter. We are now looking forward to our next electricity bill ! Happy to recommend.

These guys are champions! - they helped us out with a pesky roof leak.They got onto it in a flash and reconnected our solar app to our new wifi router. We would highly recommend them to anyone, they understand great customer service. We are glad we chose them as our solar provider.

The team at MC Solar & Electrical have been a joy to work with from start to finish. Highly professional, knowledgeable and friendly service. Very clean and neat installation. Nothing was to much trouble. Our install required an additional work by Energex and several additional visits to connect the service was provided promptly to ensure minimal delay.Very happy with the system and service provided.

I had a long technical talk with Mark today about Solar in general. Even though I am not from Qld., and can't purchase from him, I am mightily impressed by his knowledge and very appreciative of his advise.He has direct contact with Fronius in Austria and is thus very up to date with their products. Part of his advise was to use Solar Analytics in order to find accurate information about my consumption and what I would expect to save.I especially like his review videos and will now be saving money by not purchasing Enphase Microinverters or Solar Edge Optimisers. In my case, there is little to no shade and would not benefit from the added expense of these two porducts. Money I can now put towards a larger solar panel array. So thank you very much Mark.
