Solar & Battery Installation
Residential & commercial solar and battery systems designed to work the way your property actually uses energy.
At Mountain Man Electrical, we design and install solar + battery systems that are efficient, reliable, and tailored to your site. Every system is built to integrate seamlessly with your existing electrical setup and support long-term energy performance.
Systems designed for real energy use
Our solar and battery systems aren’t off-the-shelf packages. They’re engineered based on how your home or business actually consumes power.
We consider your usage patterns, site conditions, and future needs to design a system that:
- Works efficiently year-round
- Integrates cleanly with your existing setup
- Supports long-term performance and reliability
- Gives you more control over your energy use
From residential homes to commercial sites, every installation is approached with the same level of detail and care.
Solar and battery solutions that work together
Solar panels generate energy during the day – but most properties use the most power in the morning and evening.
Battery storage bridges that gap.
By storing excess solar energy, a battery allows you to:
- Use more of the energy you generate
- Reduce reliance on the grid
- Better manage peak demand
- Improve overall energy efficiency
Battery systems can be installed as part of a new system or added to an existing solar setup, depending on compatibility.

Our preferred solar panels
We use the TW Solar Full Black Series – a panel we trust based on performance, durability, and long-term value.
Why we recommend it:
- Dual-glass construction for added strength and longevity
- Strong performance in Australian conditions
- Clean, full black design for a cohesive roof appearance
- Backed by long product and performance warranties
For homeowners, it’s a balance of durability, street appeal, and resale value.
Choosing the right inverter and battery
There’s no one-size-fits-all inverter — the right choice depends on your budget, performance expectations, and how you plan to use your system over time.
The inverter is the core of your solar and battery setup. It controls how energy is converted, used, and stored — and it also determines which battery systems are compatible. Getting this right from the start is key to long-term performance.
Based on our experience, we recommend three trusted options:
GoodWe – balanced performance

This is the most popular choice for customers wanting a dependable system without overinvesting.
Sigenergy – modern and flexible
A newer, feature-rich system designed for flexibility and future upgrades.
- Advanced, AI-driven monitoring via the mySigen App

Why your inverter choice matters
Your inverter determines which battery systems you can use — these components must be compatible and work together as a single system.
Choosing the right combination ensures:
- Efficient energy use across your home or business
- Smooth battery integration
- Reliable long-term performance
We’ll guide you through the options to make sure your system is set up properly from day one — and ready for the future.
