In this tech-packed episode of Solar Sidekicks, Pat checks in from a very soggy Brisbane, where he’s been attending the Solar & Storage Live Queensland Conference, while Lauren holds the fort in sunny Melbourne.

They’re joined by Yorick Mark from MC Electrical, a tech-savvy consultant with a serious passion for batteries, EV charging, and product reliability.

Yorick shares his journey into the solar space—from dreams of becoming a pilot to becoming one of the go-to voices at MC Electrical.
We dive into:
⚡ The behind-the-scenes process for choosing new products
🔋 Why MC Electrical decided not to take on the hype-heavy Sigenergy battery
🚙 EV life, including range anxiety, V2G hopes, and the true cost of reliability
🏡 Building smarter, more efficient homes—and why solar is just one piece of the puzzle

This one’s for the solar nerds, battery buffs, and anyone wondering where the clean energy future is really heading.
Listen in to get the real talk on tech, trust, and what’s coming next in solar.
