Solar Power Systems
MPower specialise in the design, manufacture and installation of solar and wind power systems for industrial, government and rural applications.
Our specialty is in industrial solar power supplies. Each situation is fully assessed, and where needed, solutions are tailored or individually designed for the circumstances, making full use of our experience and expertise to ensure high quality results.
MPower manufacture solar array frames and support structures, and carry out workshop wiring of industrial solar power supplies. The company has operated a certified quality system to ISO9001 since 2003, and strives to continually improve both its products and service.
Consultancy services in solar, wind and hybrid power are provided by MPower. With associated businesses MPower also provide electronics design and production, and design and fabrication of specialist enclosures and mounting systems, and a range of specialist solar products.
MPower provide practical, cost-effective solutions for a diverse range of clients with a wide variety of power requirements, often involving new and innovative approaches.
MPower’s project experience includes:
Commercial Grid Connect
Working with architects, engineers and electrical consultants, MPower's solar engineers can assist with sizing, costing and specifications for installing photovoltaic solar energy systems on a wide range of commercial buildings.
MPower has delivered many turn-key commercial solar power systems from concept stages through to commissioning. We also design and install our solar power systems using industry best practice standards and guidelines. With a Quality System accredited to ISO9001, MPower can be relied on for supplying the best solar solutions for important and very public building projects.
MPower also has a range of Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) products which can provide design solutions for architects and designers to achieve a high level of aesthetic integration of solar energy features into the building design.

Industrial Solar Power Supplies
MPower is committed to finding solutions for power needs in the commercial and industrial sectors. From the development of solar powered air compressors to irrigation inverters to portable communications power supplies, MPower have assisted many companies to implement their ideas.
With access to solar technology around the world, we are able to source equipment, or develop innovative approaches for your power needs.
Good design is based on sound engineering with innovation. With over twenty years experience in the industry, MPower has the capability to deliver high reliability with cost effectiveness.
Solar is not just for remote areas. Many solar applications are close at hand, where the cost of laying mains cables are high. Sometimes by exploring cost-effective ways to reduce the electrical load while still achieving the same end result, we can make a difficult application viable through the use of solar technology. Notable projects include:
- Moomba-Sydney pipeline corrosion protection
- SW Victoria gas fields
- SA Water corrosion protection
- Moomba gas fields telemetry & communications
Commercial Stand Alone Power Systems
MPower is accredited and experienced in the design, supply and installation of stand-alone 240vAC power systems for remote facilities. These systems utilise high efficiency sine wave inverters to provide continuous, reliable and clean 240v power.
For sites with heavy day-time consumption that require diesel generating sets of 100kW or more, MPower can design battery-less systems that can reduce fuel consumption by 20-40%. Such systems are far more cost effective as they are much cheaper up-front and do not have ongoing costs for the scheduled replacement of battery banks. Also, the standard inverter warranties are typically 10-years with upgrade warranties available for up to 25 years in total to match that of the solar modules. Notable projects include:
