Or should I say "Unless all PV components are purchased and installed from "company name".

Please note that we don't a sign maintenance contract for the batteries only, unless the whole PV system (specifically inverter and charger) installed is supplied and installed by us.

There is something missing in the meaning.

"Please note that we don't a sign maintenance contract for the batteries only"

Maybe "a" should be after sign?
And why did you put only?

Yes, it should be a maintenance contract. As for "only" I don't know.

It should be "We don't sign a maintenance contract". The addition of "only" makes it clear that a contract for batteries on their own can be drawn up only if the buyer has bought the rest of the system from the company providing the batteries.

And also he repeated in the same sentence the verb install "...installed is supplied and installed by us"??

And Also, he repeated in the same sentence the verb "install" - "... space here installed is supplied and installed by us".
He did. It's awkward. It's not impossible to use it twice in that sentence but ideally "installed" should appear just once.

I overlooked that. The first "installed" should have been omitted. We usually say "a system is supplied and installed by a contractor".
