About Shorecan

Born on the Tablelands. Built for Far North Queensland.

Based in Ravenshoe, Shorecan Electrical & Solar is a 100% locally owned and operated team of SAA-accredited solar specialists and licensed electricians. Over 13+ years we've designed and installed more than 1,000 systems across the Tablelands and greater Cairns region — from single-room homes to a 155 kW off-grid roadhouse.

We know what the tropics throw at a build — cyclones, humidity, remote sites and corrugated red dirt. Every system we install is specified for the climate, built with premium components, and backed by genuine warranties and aftercare.

  • Family-owned & local
  • Tropical-grade components
  • Genuine on-time delivery
  • Transparent pricing
  • Fully licensed & insured
  • Aftercare you can count on

Why Energy Storage

Solar is good. Solar + storage is freedom.

Energy storage turns your solar from a daytime saving into round-the-clock independence — with backup power when the grid drops out.

Return you can measure

The Oasis Roadhouse was spending roughly $60,000 a year on power and diesel. Its solar and storage system is projected to pay for itself in four years. Payback depends on your site, loads and tariff — we model it before you commit.

Running when the grid isn't

A Ravenshoe dairy farm keeps refrigeration, pumps and milking gear online through cyclones and line faults. Backup changeover is automatic — no cords, no generator start-up.

Built for the tropics

Every system is specified for FNQ heat, humidity, storm season and remote sites. That's 13+ years of installing here, not a catalogue order.

Use what you generate

Exported solar earns a small feed-in tariff; stored solar replaces power you'd otherwise buy at full retail rate. A correctly sized battery keeps far more of that value on your property.

Our Tech Stack

Premium components. Industry-leading warranties.

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.

"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."

"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."
