SOLAR INSTALLATIONS
Residential, agricultural, and commercial solar installations across western Montana — designed, permitted, and installed by a licensed journeyman electrician.
Mountain Solar & Electric designs and installs solar PV systems for homes, ranches, farms, and businesses throughout western Montana. Every project is handled personally by Wyatt Cleveland — a Montana-licensed journeyman electrician with nearly a decade of field experience. From your first site visit through permitting, installation, and full system commissioning, Wyatt manages every piece of the job himself.
We serve Park County, Gallatin County, Sweet Grass County, Carbon County, Madison County, and surrounding communities — including Livingston, Bozeman, Big Timber, Columbus, Red Lodge, Ennis, Gardiner, Three Forks, and beyond.
SOLAR INSTALLATION SERVICES
-
Grid-tied solar is the most common choice for Montana homeowners and businesses — and for good reason. You stay connected to NorthWestern Energy's grid, bank excess power through net metering, and significantly reduce or eliminate your monthly electric bill. Wyatt designs every system specifically for your property, roof orientation, and energy usage — no cookie-cutter solutions, no oversized systems sold just to pad a quote.
-
For rural properties, cabins, and homeowners who want true energy independence, off-grid solar is the answer. We design complete off-grid systems that keep your home, well pump, shop, and critical loads running without any reliance on the utility grid. Every off-grid system includes battery storage, and we handle full commissioning — inverter configuration, ATS logic, load management, and system verification before anything goes live.
-
Whether you're grid-tied or off-grid, battery storage gives you a critical layer of protection. Keep your lights on, your well running, and your home or business operating when the grid goes down. We install and commission battery storage systems that integrate seamlessly with your solar array and any backup generator — so your system works exactly the way it's supposed to, every time.
-
Montana's ranches, farms, small businesses, and commercial properties are some of the best candidates for solar in the country — high energy costs, abundant sun, and significant available roof or ground space. Mountain Solar works with property owners and business operators who are ready to take control of their energy costs and invest in the long-term value of their operation.
WHY TIER 1 PANELS MATTER
Not all solar panels are created equal. We source exclusively from Tier 1 manufacturers — the top-rated panels in the industry for performance, durability, and long-term reliability. In Montana's climate, that matters.
-
Wherever possible, we prioritize American-made panels and equipment. It aligns with our values, supports domestic manufacturing, and means better accountability when it comes to warranties and support. We work primarily with QCells and REC panels — two of the most trusted names in the industry.
-
REC panels are specifically engineered for rugged mountain environments — extreme temperature swings, heavy snow loads, and demanding conditions. They carry one of the most robust warranties in the industry, which matters when your system needs to perform for 25+ years in a Montana winter.
EQUIPMENT WE WORK WITH
The best equipment in the world is only as good as the installation. Every system we build is commissioned to manufacturer specifications and verified before energization.
