Mark is the Owner and Manager of MC Solar & Electrical. He’s an Electrician, accredited solar installer/designer and an electrical contractor. Read his story. Mark is not only passionate about solar but about doing business right. It’s a simple ethic: look after your staff, and encourage them to look after your customers. It seems to work.

Where Mark makes the decisions on who to hire, Wendy makes it official by setting up staff contracts, payroll and time-sheets. Wendy is always behind the scenes ensuring the paperwork is up to date and accounts are in order. We’re all thankful to Wendy for being the one who pays us each week.

Ryan started at MC in 2015 and has an extensive background in domestic and commercial electrical work. He now oversees the day-to-day operations of MC Electrical. Ryan is also passionate about the industry and enjoys designing and managing our larger projects.

Shane completed his electrical apprenticeship with us in 2019. After several months on the road doing service work, we asked Shane to do a hybrid role of service manager (in the office) and backup service Sparkie (on the road). We find having a skilled and practising sparkie on the other end of the phone has brought our customer service to another level.

Alex has been around since day one when it was Mark as the Electrician and Alex as the apprentice. Nearly 10 years on, Alex the Electrician knows solar inside out. He’s also a really nice guy (which has kind of turned into a prerequisite for working here).

Michael is one of Queensland’s best blokes. That’s what his wife said when he won Mr. Ipswich in 2009! Seriously, he’s a top bloke and one of the best sparkies you’ll find. He first started working for us in 2011 – he had a break ( most likely modelling?) – but we’re better now ’cause he’s back.

Matt met Mark several years ago, but at the time Matt was doing his apprenticeship with CV Services Group. In 2016 Matt called us up looking for a job. We didn’t have a position, but when you find a tradesman like Matt, you create a job for him. While working for us, he earned his solar install and design accreditation. Matt is now our Service Technician and Battery Specialist.

David started with us back in 2009 as a laborer before we took him on as an apprentice. After completing his 4 year apprenticeship, he stayed on as a tradesman. He now leads one of our 6 teams. He’s a bloke of integrity and has a keen eye for quality. We’re proud to have David on our team.

Josh started out labouring for us in 2014. We soon worked out he was a keeper so we took him on as a mature age apprentice. He completed his apprenticeship in 2018 and we’re glad he chose to stay on with us as a tradesman.

Shane is one of our qualified electricians, he’s also a CEC accredited solar installer. There’s no one better when it comes to figuring out how to tackle the more challenging and complex jobs.

Dane started with MC Electrical way back in 2013 as a Solar Trade Assistant. We put him through his paces on the roof but he quickly showed us he was ready for more… Fast track a few years and now Dane is a qualified Electrician and CEC Accredited Solar Installer. Dane is what you might call a bit of techy, so now he works alongside Shane and Matt as part of the service team.

Damien started with us in 2019 as a solar trade assistant. He had already completed a few years of his electrical apprenticeship before starting with us, so after a brief stint to prove himself as a solar trade assistant, we signed him up to continue his training. He’s now completed his apprenticeship, so we’re looking forward to seeing how he progresses through his career. Congrats Mate.

Ben is our in office Solar Designer / Estimator . With a degree in Marine Biology, his approach to sales is technical rather than salesy. Ben also spends a lot of time researching panel technology and other related topics. He blogs about his findings in “Mark’s blog”.

Israel is an Electrical Contractor with years of experience in Solar. He wanted to get off the tools but stay in the industry, so began teaching the CEC Accreditation and renewable energy course at TAFE. As a part-time Solar Consultant for MC, you can be can be sure he knows his stuff.

Nicole is our Solar Consultant extraordinaire. She has developed a reputation in the industry over the last 9 years as a knowledgeable, straight-talking consultant. In 2015, Nicole agreed that MC Electrical suited her way of doing things better. Nicole is so much happier now, selling the right product at the right price.

Yorick used to work alongside Mark and Ryan to help in service and after sales support. As a veteran in the solar industry we have figured early on that Yorick is a keeper. In 2015 he asked to step out of the office so he could work directly with our customers. If there is something Yorick does not know, he will ask and learn. No BS. How could I refuse?

Trent first worked for us in 2009 installing panels. He moved on and worked for other solar companies in both installations and solar sales for several years, before finally coming back to work as a consultant for MC Electrical in 2017. Trent’s experience in different areas (especially battery storage and off-grid) is proving invaluable.

An advocate for the environment, it wasn’t until Jaime read “The last hours of Ancient Sunlight” back in 2006 that she became passionate about renewable energy. She then completed a Certificate IV in Renewable Energy and worked in the solar hot-water industry, before commencing her career as a solar power consultant a few years later. Jaime recently moved back to Brisbane after being in SA for 10 years. We are certainly happy to have Jaime on board with her down-to-earth attitude and technical knowledge.

Michele has over 10 years’ experience in a technical sales role. Personable and easy to talk to, Michele will be able to clearly explain solar and design. As a mate of Nicole’s, we are very happy that Michele approached us for a job after years of talking solar and hearing about MC’s awesome reputation!

Mark Bunting has recently moved out of the office and onto the road as a Solar Consultant. Since he has so much experience on the technical side of things, we know he’ll be able to tailor the perfect solar system for any situation. He has a degree in graphic design and has picked up solar design with ease too. Don’t confuse him with Mark Cavanagh. Mark is much better looking.

Winston joined the MC Electrical sales team at the tail end of 2019. Don’t let that fool you though, he has been working in the solar industry for nearly a decade, so he really knows how to tailor the perfect solar system for your needs.

As our Marketing Manager, Elliot takes care of all our graphic design work, website development, marketing campaigns & social media development. He has a passion for sustainability & the environment, impressively he is also a sponsored rock climber and licensed commercial helicopter pilot.

Clodie is our accounts manager here at MC Electrical. You’ll always find her smiling and laughing, which makes her the life of office here at MC. If you get the chance to speak with her on the phone you’ll see what we mean.

Luke joined our team in Feb. 2018.  He has a comprehensive background in warehousing & logistics. Luke is directly responsible for all product coming in, going out, and maintaining good order in and around our warehouse
& office facilities.  He is doing a great job and has exceeded our expectations.

Jason is our Sales Administrator. If the solar consultants have a question, Jason is the one they go to. He started with us in mid 2019 as our warehouse store-man but picked it all up so quickly that we decided to move him into the office.

Jackson is our service co-ordinator here in the office. He only recently joined the team, but under Shane’s wing, he is well on his way to being able to answer any of your technical solar questions. In his spare time Jackson enjoys a glass of red with his mates over a good board game.

Hannah joined the MC office last year as one of our admin staff. Given that she runs the front desk, if you call in, there’s a good chance that you’ll get to speak with her. In her spare time, she enjoys fishing with her partner. Welcome to the team Hannah!

Karl is Mark’s nephew and he originally started out doing work experience while in grade 11. However it didn’t take long to work out that the kid has smarts and a solid work ethic. He’s now working 3 hours a day crunching solar data, creating online calculators, manually monitoring solar systems, and analysing any other data that Mark dreams up.

Alan joined us in August 2016 on the recommendation from Dane. He began working as a labourer, but we soon realised this bloke is future tradesman material, so we offered him an adult electrical apprenticeship.

Brady started out pursuing a career in Aircraft Engineering before realizing his calling as an Electrician. He is passionate about renewable energy and offering him an apprenticeship was an easy decision to make. Brady is the type of bloke who gets the job done.

Jason joined our team as a labourer in early 2018. He’s since proved himself to be a hard worker with an eye for detail and so we offered him an adult apprenticeship.

Finn is keen to get ahead within the solar industry and approached us directly for a job. He has plenty of experience working in customer service plus experience working on construction sites. In his spare time he builds mountains bikes from scratch.  Welcome to the team, Finn.

Brandon came recommended by one of our apprentice electricians at the end of 2018.  We started him as a labourer, but he quickly proved himself to be switched on and a great worker which is why we offered him an apprenticeship.

Lawrence came recommended by one of our electricians. He started with us as a solar trade assistant but quickly proved himself to be a hard worker with a great work ethic. It wasn’t hard decision to sign him up for his adult electrical apprenticeship.

Trent started out in 2019 as a solar trade assistant, but since he proved to be an extremely hard worker with a good eye for detail, we signed him up as an apprentice electrician. He is also a qualified carpenter so he’s a pro on the tools to boot.

Ethan started with us in 2019 as solar trade assistant. He is one of our youngest employees, but has proved to us that age isn’t everything. He doesn’t compromise on quality and is a gun on the roof, so we signed him up as an apprentice electrician.

Kyle joined the MC team in 2019 as a solar trade assistant. He has plenty of experience in the solar and electrical industry and came recommended by one of our other staff members. He quickly showed us that he has what it takes so we signed him up to continue his electrical apprenticeship.

Ezekial started his MC journey as a solar trades assistant at the start of 2020, he proved himself quickly though, so we signed him on as an electrical apprentice. We’re excited to see how he progresses in his career. In his down time, you’ll find Ezekial surfing or behind the lens of his camera. Welcome to the team Ezekial.

Phil joined the MC installers last year after he was recommended by one of our other staff members. He quickly proved the recommendation was warranted so we signed him on as an Apprentice Electrician. In his free time, he loves to go 4wding and rock climbing, we hear his skills in the latter are impressive. Welcome to the team Phil!
