If you're tired of high power bills and want to take control of your energy, solar and battery storage is one of the smartest investments a Queensland homeowner can make. At Ultralec Electrical & Air Conditioning, we supply and install quality solar panel systems, battery storage solutions and complete solar packages for homes across Pomona, Cooroy and the wider Noosa Hinterland. As a licensed local electrician, we handle everything from the electrical design through to installation, switchboard upgrades and grid connection — so you deal with one trusted tradesperson from start to finish, not a revolving door of subcontractors.
A well-designed solar system can dramatically reduce your power bills and reduce your reliance on the grid. We supply and install quality solar panels suited to Queensland's conditions — whether you're mounting on a tin roof in the hinterland or a tiled home closer to the coast. Every system is correctly sized for your household's energy use, roof orientation and shading, so you get maximum output and the best possible return on your investment. All installations meet current Australian Standards and Clean Energy Council guidelines.
A solar system alone still leaves you buying power at night or during cloudy periods. Adding a battery means you store the energy you generate during the day and use it when you need it most — in the evenings, during peak tariff periods, or when the grid goes down. We supply and install home battery storage systems that integrate seamlessly with new and existing solar setups, giving you greater energy independence and protection against rising electricity prices.
Installing solar and battery together from day one is the most cost-effective approach — it avoids a second round of labour costs later and allows the system to be designed as a whole. Our solar and battery packages are tailored to your home's energy use, your budget and your goals, whether that's minimising bills, maximising self-sufficiency or having reliable backup power during outages. We'll walk you through your options clearly and give you an honest recommendation — not just the most expensive system.
Solar systems are largely set-and-forget, but periodic checks ensure your system is performing as it should and that nothing has degraded over time. We carry out solar system health checks, inverter inspections, panel cleaning assessments and fault diagnosis for existing systems across the Sunshine Coast. If your solar isn't performing as expected or your inverter is throwing errors, we can find the issue and fix it.

A typical residential solar system on the Sunshine Coast ranges from around $4,000 to $10,000+ depending on system size, roof complexity and components chosen. Battery storage adds to this cost but significantly improves your return over time. We provide detailed, itemised quotes so you know exactly what you're paying for.
Not always, but older switchboards — particularly those without RCD safety switches — often need upgrading before a solar inverter can be safely connected. We assess this as part of your quote so there are no surprises on installation day.
In most cases, yes. We assess your existing inverter and system to determine the best battery integration approach. Some older inverters require replacement or an AC-coupled battery solution, which we'll explain clearly before proceeding.
Most residential solar installations are completed in a single day. Battery additions typically add a few hours. Grid connection paperwork and metering changes are handled by us and usually take one to two weeks after installation.
Yes — solar alone still significantly reduces daytime grid consumption and generates feed-in tariff income. A battery amplifies the benefit by allowing you to use your own generated power at night. We'll show you a modelled estimate of your savings for both scenarios so you can make an informed decision.
Yes. We manage the application to Energex (or your local DNSP) for grid connection approval and coordinate the metering change. You don't need to deal with the network directly.
