“Douglas installed a 10kW solar system with a battery on our place at Buderim. He talked us through the panel layout and why he was putting the inverter where he did, turned up exactly when he said he would, and the cabling and switchboard work is the neatest I have seen. Two days start to finish and the yard was spotless.”
Rachel M.Buderim: Solar & battery installation
“We had lights tripping the safety switch for months and two other sparkies could not find it. Douglas traced it to a damaged cable in the roof within an hour, replaced it and upgraded our old switchboard while he was there. Clear pricing, explained everything without the jargon.”
Peter H.Maroochydore: Fault finding & switchboard upgrade
“Norfolk did the full electrical fit-out for our workshop: three-phase, LED high bays and a dedicated circuit for the compressor, plus an EV charger out front. He worked around our trading hours so we never lost a day, and handed over all the certificates without us having to chase them.”

What areas do you service?
Norfolk Electrical is based on the Sunshine Coast and services customers throughout South East Queensland where practical, including Noosa, Caloundra, the hinterland, Moreton Bay, Brisbane and surrounding areas. If you’re not sure whether you’re in range, send us your suburb and we’ll let you know.
Can you install both solar and batteries?
Yes. We install solar systems, battery storage, or both together as a single integrated system. Where you already have solar, a battery can usually be added and configured to work with your existing inverter or with a new hybrid inverter.
Can I send photos of my project?
Yes, please do. Ideally: your address or suburb, a description of the work, photos of the area or switchboard, and for solar or battery enquiries a recent electricity bill or your interval data. The more you can share up front, the more accurate the quotation.
Do you complete commercial electrical work?
Yes. We work across shops, offices, workshops, warehouses and industrial properties: fit-outs, three-phase power, lighting upgrades, emergency lighting, maintenance and fault finding, scheduled around your operating hours.
