January is a period fostering emotions of new opportunity for many. A twelve-month runway ahead opens up opportunities to achieve personal goals and career milestones. In 2025, personal accomplishments form a part of our broader organisational goal. With this, we’re expanding employment streams and opportunities, which The Outlook explains more deeply. Welcome to 2025. We can’t wait to create this new year’s opportunity with you.
Key points
- Employee career pathways open up with customised journeys
- Recommended endorsement for three-layer ISO certification
- REC's Alpha Pure RX makes its debut at Perth Solar Warehouse
Important: McKercher Corporation Bulletins are compiled for staff and will likely be read this way. Non-staff members may familiarise themselves with this open-source compilation of accessible business communication.
The Outlook
We’re committed to this year being a year of growth. The initial quarter will see strengthened employment opportunities for staff to define their futures over the coming twelve months. Consider this a customised pathway to assist in achieving milestones or a chance to springboard to the next level on a career journey. TLDR: Defined yet flexible employee pathways will enjoy focus in 2025.
The second quarter of 2025 will reiterate the quest for superior sustainable energy solutions through Perth Solar Warehouse, improving accessibility to a broader demographic. This shift is multi-layered and evolving. With this, opportunities exist for staff to elevate their career ahead of opportunities made public. TLDR: We’re improving high-quality, sustainable energy adoption with fewer barriers to access.
If 2024 indicates a momentum shift towards solar batteries, 2025 will be the year of the battery for sustainable energy systems in Western Australia. This proves that even without a battery subsidy, customers view the value proposition and benefits of a home solar and battery system as superior to those of a solar energy system without a battery. We’ve calculated that by quarter 3, at least 1 in 2 solar energy systems will include kWh of storage capacity to complement further generation sources installed through PSW Energy. TLDR: 1 in 2 solar energy systems will include kWh of storage capacity from Q3/Q4.
Our digital division enjoys customer demand for a more streamlined and responsive approach to service-based business solutions. Using proven models of customer experience and efficiency through PSW Energy and Perth Solar Warehouse, we’re investing in strengthening digital product options for service-based businesses. This advanced commitment comes to fruition in quarter four to enhance employee and customer experience. TLDR: we’re investing in streamlining our digital product suite internally with external options.
Personal Goals
Employees are the fabric of this organisation. As McKercher Corporation employees, your company is here to get you where you would rather be sooner, and that’s a unique concept for every individual. Some seek improved work/life balance, and others desire expedited growth/ambition within a business environment. No wrong answer exists, and changing perspective in time is perfectly fine. So, we’re creating employee pathways in 2025.
Consider it a portal where users can log in and view short, medium, and long-term growth milestones over the journey with colleague support. This employee milestone/growth portal will form an introductory stage in transitioning to an all-in-one employee hub for leave, timesheets and centralised direct-to-management correspondence as we continually streamline our digital solution suite.
Elevated Recognition
All McKercher Corporation staff are part of the company’s commitment to the International Organisation of Standardisation (ISO) operating procedures in Quality, Environment, and Safety through recommended endorsement. A formal recognition will follow in the February Bulletin. Beuro Veritas recognises our sustainable business subsidiary operating procedures as an improved sustainable energy landscape contributor through quality-endorsed operating procedures defined by an independent auditing process.
Three-layer ISO certification is no easy feat; significant credit goes to Nicole Bilman, further defining her role as a proven organisational leader within the sustainable energy industry. Over the previous two years, Nicole has championed a commitment to quality business operating procedures, which has led to a globally recognised result. Even with individual drivers, organisational recognition is deserved. This recognition of high standards in operating procedures is a collaborative recognition of all staff with a commitment to shifting towards a common direction of improved organisational change. Thank you.
Heat Safety Reminder
It’s hot. When working in the field, stay hydrated, stay protected, and take a break if need be. Reference the November Bulletin under ‘heat awareness‘. Please remember to rehydrate with an electrolyte drink or water provided within the PSW Energy warehouse fridge. Refreshments are complimentary for all field staff.
REC Alpha Pure-RX installer guidelines
PSW Energy and Perth Solar Warehouse have adopted the REC Alpha Pure RX 460 to 470 W solar panel, which succeeds the Alpha Pure 410W solar panel. Dimensions of the Alphe Pure RX are larger to achieve increased power output with technology that is similarly efficient to its predecessor. The REC Alpha Pure RX’s most notable attribute derived from the heterojunction cell technology is an industry elite PMAX—Temperature Coefficient of -0.24%/°C (lower the better). Other customers will likely prefer the REC Alpha Pure-RX due to its geographically diverse manufacturing origin (made in Singapore) or consecutive history of Intersolar awards for innovation. REC Solar is also a recent Australian installer-choice awardee on SolarQuotes.com.au.
SAA-accredited installers must stay current with solar panel-specific installation guidelines. The manufacturer-nominated installation guidelines for the REC Alpha Pure series of solar panels can be viewed here.
