McKercher Corporation has announced that PSW Energy, one of its two operating brands, received the Sigenergy Excellent Installer Award 2026 at Sigenergy’s global partner gala dinner in Shanghai on Tuesday, 2 June 2026. Only 10 of these awards have been presented worldwide to date. Derek McKercher, Director of McKercher Corporation and founder of the operating brands, accepted the award on stage at the Hilton Shanghai Hongqiao. The record it recognises was built by every installer, designer, warehouse hand and support coordinator across the group.
- PSW Energy received the Sigenergy Excellent Installer Award 2026 at Sigenergy's global partner gala in Shanghai on 2 June 2026
- One of only 10 such awards presented worldwide to date
- The result reflects the installation, design, logistics and support teams operating from Bibra Lake and Neerabup
Sigenergy assesses its global installer network on operational evidence: commissioning records, installed capacity, fault rates and the speed and quality of service-case resolution. The company sees this data for every partner in every market it operates in. An award drawn from that dataset is not a marketing exercise. It is a measurement.
Each of those metrics is the day-to-day output of staff. A clean commissioning record is a designer who sized the system correctly and an installer who executed it. A low fault rate is workmanship. A resolved service case is a support coordinator who followed through. The award aggregates thousands of those individual decisions made across Western Australian rooftops and switchboards.
Behind the result
The installation and design teams hold Solar Accreditation Australia accreditation across grid-connected photovoltaic and grid-connected battery storage classes, and operate under the group’s Bureau Veritas Certified ISO 9001/14001/45001 management systems. Those frameworks set the standard. The people meet it, job after job, from the company’s Bibra Lake and Neerabup operational bases.
Broader recognition
Both operating brands have published their own coverage of the award. PSW Energy has detailed the evening in Shanghai and the standing the award sits alongside: Sigenergy Excellent Installer Award 2026: PSW Energy recognised in Shanghai. Perth Solar Warehouse has covered what the recognition means for the households its teams serve: Sigenergy installer award 2026: your Perth installer is one of 10 worldwide.
The award joins the group’s 2026 recognition across its operating brands and follows more than two decades of Western Australian electrification work dating back to the company’s founding in 2004. The measure that matters next is the same one that produced this result: the quality of the next install.
