Thank you to Fluke Corporation for supplying MBC Renewables Ltd with the feature packed Fluke 393 FC. Although great progress has been made in the field of 1500V testing, it is still hard to find good instruments at this range.

Mrs Taylor Residential Install February 2022
In Mrs Taylor's previous property, she had solar installed and was a big fan of the results.
When she moved home, Mrs Taylor trusted MBC Renewables and UCS Renewables to handle the installation on her difficult roof space.
A thorough site survey was performed on the property followed by a 3D model and output simulation. Once Mrs Taylor was happy with the design our professional installation team went to work.
Mr & Mrs Watson Residential Install November 2021
As a retired couple Mr & Mrs Watson are spending more time at home enjoying their hobbies and consuming electricity during the day.
Their main property was not suitable for solar as it had several obstructions that would have caused shade and was not south facing.
MBC Renewables design and installed an array on Mr Watson's garage instead, wiring back to the main consumer unit in the house. The couple are over the moon with the results!
