Solar & Battery Installation in Cairns
Cairns sits in STC Zone 2 — the highest-rebate, highest-yield solar zone in Australia. Combine that with rising grid prices and routine cyclone-season outages and the economics for solar-plus-battery in Cairns are stronger than almost anywhere else in the country.

On-site assessment for Cairns homes, businesses and farms.
Cairns homes face two energy realities: heavy daytime air-conditioning load and unreliable wet-season grid supply. The right system tackles both — a properly sized solar array covers the air-con load through the heat of the day, and a Pytes LV1 or Dyness battery keeps the lights and fridge on through grid events.

Frequently asked questions
How much solar can I fit on a Cairns roof?
Most Cairns homes can fit 6.6 kW to 13.2 kW depending on roof orientation and shading. We use drone surveys for accurate panel placement, especially on tile and complex Queenslander rooflines.
Will solar handle Cairns air-conditioning?
Yes — that's exactly where solar shines (literally). The hottest part of the day is also the peak solar generation window. Add a battery and the cooler evening hours run on stored daylight.
Do you service Cairns and the northern beaches?
Yes. Shorecan covers Cairns, the northern beaches, Gordonvale, Edmonton and out through Kuranda and the Tablelands. Same crew, same standards across the region.
