FNQ's battery and energy storage specialists. We design and install premium solar + Deye / Pytes / Dyness storage systems that crush power bills, keep the lights on through blackouts, and pay for themselves — engineered for cyclones, humidity and remote country.
Why Energy Storage
Energy storage turns your solar from a daytime saving into round-the-clock independence — with backup power when the grid drops out.
Stored solar replaces peak-rate grid power. Typical payback 4–6 years, then decades of near-free energy.
Cyclones, storms, line faults — your home or business keeps running. Seamless changeover, no generator needed.
Lock in your power price for 13+ years. Insulate yourself from tariff hikes, network charges and supply issues.
Use 80–95% of what your panels produce instead of exporting at 7c/kWh. Every stored kWh is money kept.
Our Tech Stack
We've chosen the gear we'd put in our own homes — backed by warranties that actually pay out and chemistry built for FNQ conditions.
The brain of your system
Premium home battery
Heavy-duty energy storage
Warranty throughput is what really matters. More MWh = more value over the life of your battery.
| Battery | Warranty cycles | Min. throughput (MWh) |
|---|---|---|
| Pytes LV1 5kWh | 6,000 cycles | Equates to 30.7 MWh |
| Sigen Battery 5kWh | N/A | 15.85 MWh |

Word of Mouth
Genuine Google reviews from homeowners, off-grid clients and commercial customers we've installed for.
"Thanks to Josh and the team. I'm very happy with my new system. Wow. Quality and efficiency, neat and tidy. Can hardly see the 28 panels on my roof."
"5 stars from me! Josh and team were a dream to deal with. The quoting process was thorough and the installation happened quickly in one day. Everything is neat and tidy and looks flash! And they have been patient with all the after-care — I am learning to use the app to tweak things for maximum efficiency."
"Fantastic job from quote to finish. Would recommend the guys in a heart beat. Neat and tidy workmanship."
"Thank you Josh! Josh came out to my house and sorted my solar/generator issues when I was in trouble with no power. I'm 100% off grid and a couple of people told me to contact Josh and they had nothing but good things to say. Now I'm sold. Josh, again, thanks!"
"We recently hired Shorecan to design and install a commercial solar array and battery storage system for our laboratory facility. Because our operations involve running multiple high-temperature ovens and intense heating elements 24/7, our power consumption is exceptionally high. Managing these massive, continuous energy costs was our primary challenge, and this system has been an absolute game-changer for our business. Shorecan completely rose to the challenge. What impressed us most was the incredibly quick installation. Despite the complexity of tying a large-scale battery system into our heavy-duty laboratory electrical setup, their crew worked with astonishing speed and efficiency to get the system online. The tailored backup service they designed has provided incredible financial value. By strategically utilizing the battery storage, we can now offset the massive energy draw from our 24/7 heating equipment during peak utility hours when rates are highest. The cost savings were immediate and significant, proving that the system is an excellent financial investment. If you run a high-demand commercial facility and want a team that delivers fast installation and maximum cost savings, we cannot recommend Shorecan highly enough."
"This team is professional, efficient and with great workmanship. They have been an absolute breeze to work with. Lots of factors to think about, however word of mouth from friends who have used their service with 100% satisfaction was enough for me to choose local. Thanks team."
"I spent many weeks conducting research, like a bloodhound, on solar and battery suppliers. I obtained approximately 15 quotes. I settled on Shorecan Electrical and Solar due to the professionalism of Eric and Josh. The fact that Shorecan was a supplier local to the Atherton Tablelands was a distinct advantage. The products quoted were premium quality with a solid history of reviews and performance. I was provided dates for the two instillations being advised that it would be one day for each. The crew arrived for each instillation cheery and helpful to any questions asked. The instillation was clean, professional and without issue. Shorecan was certainly not the cheapest quote, however, they weren't the most expensive. I have the comfort of knowing that I was dealing with a respected local firm that prides itself on its workmanship and reputation. I highly recommend Shorecan as the go to business for your solar and battery needs. Regards Andrew."
"Very happy with my solar and batteries — absolutely fantastic company from office staff to installation crew and owners. Would highly recommend them."
"Great service, excellent pricing and job well done. Will be using your services again and will be recommending you to everyone I know. Thank you."
