Meet Matt Vella – The Found & Owner of MPV Solar
We speak with Matt Vella, the founder of MPV Solar, about his journey in the solar energy industry, the company’s impact, and his insights into the future of renewable energy.
Founded in 1992, MPV Solar is a proud family-owned and operated business that has established itself as Sydney’s trusted solar system installer. With over three decades of experience in the electrical contracting field, the Vella family has dedicated itself to leading the charge in renewable energy solutions. Their commitment to quality, integrity, and sustainability has earned them a solid reputation in the industry, ensuring that homeowners can rely on MPV Solar for innovative solar solutions tailored to their needs.
As they continue to expand their footprint in the solar market, MPV Solar remains devoted to helping families and businesses across NSW transition to cleaner energy, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable future for the community and the planet.
Can you share the inspiration behind founding MPV Solar and what motivated you to enter the solar energy industry?
From 1992 to 2009, we focused purely on general electrical contracting. In 2010, an opportunity arose to enter the solar industry by installing systems for Origin Energy. I’ve always had a keen interest in renewables, and this was the perfect chance to dive into a field I’m passionate about.
How do you envision the role of solar energy evolving in the next five years?
Solar and battery storage will continually become more mainstream for homeowners. As technology improves and costs decrease, I see more families opting for solar energy solutions.
What are some of the most significant milestones or achievements MPV Solar has reached since its inception?
Building our reputation within the industry has been a significant milestone. Earning the trust of major partners like Energy Locals, Sydney Water, Ryde Council, Origin Energy, and AGL has helped us solidify our position in the market.
What do you enjoy most about your job?
I love meeting new clients and delivering sustainable solutions. It’s rewarding to provide options that save our clients money while also contributing positively to the planet.
What advice do you have for consumers concerned about the return on investment for solar energy, especially in terms of energy savings and property value increase?
I understand that the initial investment in solar can be daunting for many consumers. However, it’s crucial to consider the long-term financial benefits. Most solar projects can deliver a very acceptable payback period of 3-5 years on the capital investment. In today’s energy market, where electricity prices are continually rising, investing in solar energy not only provides immediate savings on utility bills but also shields homeowners from future price fluctuations. It’s a smart financial decision that can enhance property value and lead to significant energy savings over time.
