There’s no better place to harness the power of the sun than right here in Cairns. At JPower Energy, we install solar systems that are designed to handle the tropical heat and deliver serious long-term savings.

Whether you're looking to lower your energy bills, reduce your carbon footprint, or just take control of your electricity use, we’ll guide you through every step with practical advice and transparent pricing.

Solar That’s Built to Last
We install high-quality solar panels, inverters, and solar hot water systems that are built for our tough FNQ conditions. We’ll assess your property, explain what size system will best match your usage, and talk you through your return on investment over time. Our solar setups are perfect for both homeowners and businesses looking to lock in long-term energy savings. Plus, we’ll help you navigate government rebates and compliance to make the process as stress-free as possible.
Once installed, you’ll start generating clean energy immediately—and with smart monitoring options, you can keep track of your system’s performance from your phone. Reach out today to book a site inspection or get a quote on a tailored solar solution.
How many solar panels do I need for my home?
The number of panels you need depends on your average electricity usage, the size of your roof, and your budget. A typical household might install 16–20 panels for a 6.6kW system. Homes with higher energy use or electric vehicles might need more. It’s also important to consider orientation and shading, which can affect how much sunlight your panels receive throughout the day.
Do solar panels still work during cloudy or rainy days?
Yes, solar panels can still generate electricity on cloudy or rainy days—just not at full capacity. Most systems will produce around 10–25% of their normal output during overcast conditions. This is why having a properly sized system and efficient inverter is key. Even in less-than-perfect weather, your panels will continue to contribute to your home’s energy needs.
Is solar hot water worth installing?
For many homes in sunny regions like Cairns, solar hot water can be a great investment. It uses the sun to preheat your water, reducing the energy needed from your electric or gas booster. This can significantly lower your hot water costs, which typically make up 20–30% of household energy use. Most solar hot water systems pay for themselves within a few years through energy savings alone.
