Bulletin, January 2025: Outlook, goals, recognition, safety and product updates

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.

SigenStor Approved: PSW Energy Delivers Sigenergy Showcase

Sigenergy mySigen app for SigenStor in the palm of a users hand displaying the energy ecosystem on a mobile smart device

June 5, 2024: Sigenergy Sigenstor single-phase 5 and 6 kW reach ‘CEC-approved’ status for compliance in the Australian market, marking the green light for Sigenergy single-phase 5 and 6 kW system (with battery) installations in Australia. Given single-phase approval, Sigenergy’s three-phase SigenStor approval should follow in the not-to-distant future.

The anticipated approval of SigenStor single-phase systems is welcome news for electrification enthusiasts seeking a comprehensive sustainable energy solution towards an entirely electric shift. More notably, SigenStore has an easily adaptable (modular) ‘Sigen EV DC charging module‘ with up to 25 kW fast charging capability for those eagerly awaiting a bidirectional electric vehicle charging solution.

Further complementing an industry-leading product lineup of sustainable energy products, PSW Energy has launched a Showcase category for Sigenergy today in selected West Australian regions. Due to higher profiling, PSW Energy’s Showcase categories remain reserved for specific products that resonate and appeal to consumers. Sigenergy sits alongside Tesla (Home Energy and EV Charging) and Bluetti (Camping and Portable Power) as one of three specialised products likely to add greater value for more through improved user experience, further expediting sustainable energy uptake.

Gauging the rapid appeal in European and Asian markets, SigenStor’s 5-in-one, and more customisable design is likely to outpace many established inverter and sustainable energy brands in Australia from 2025.

” SigenStor is not just another rehashed, rebadged solution we’ll see prominently throughout SNEC 2024 [Shanghai New Energy Conference]. It’s 100% its own, from software to hardware. Once in a decade, a new technology emerges that gains virtually instant consumer appeal. Sigenergy is this decades. Most notably, they’ve recruited really well as the foundations to drive rapid adoption.

Sven [Albersmeier-Braun] is highly regarded for his time at SENEC and is ideal for the European markets. Will [Hall] is respected among industry professionals and has been appointed Australia’s director through extensive Australian solar industry experience. He’s committed to hard work and will take great care of Sigenergy in Australia. These people don’t just go to any company. More depth comes from leading global marketing and software development backgrounds who can inspire positive change.“

Derek McKercher

Sigenergy SigenStore will complement Australia’s love for superior technology that incorporates a high-value feature return no matter where one is on their sustainable energy journey. Given that Sigenstor can work as a simplified hybrid inverter-only option ready for future expansion, the base-level solution has a relatively low entry point. More comprehensively, with all features incorporated, SigenStor is the ultimate all-in-one electrification (solar, battery, and EV charging) solution from the start.

Although not yet approved,  comparative base-level Sigenergy 5 kW SigenStor hybrid inverter (no battery), through PSW Energy with 6.6 kW of combined nominated solar panels, is attainable in the mid-price bracket. An equivalent option positioned between Goodwe and Fronius and considered a high-value inverter based on added features.

Aiko solar panels to add fierce competition in Australia

Q2, 2024, Aiko Solar will arrive in Australia, adding fierce competition in the ultra-high efficiency stakes. Primarily a world-leading manufacturer in cell shipments (Rank: 2nd, 2023, source: InfoLink), the technology and value incorporated within Aiko solar panels initial release, the Neostar 2S, will surely appeal to many purchasers and vendors in the mid-range premium system sector.

Aiko and key Australian distributors have finalised distribution agreements with four high-profile strategic partners: Solar Juice, Sol Distribution, AC Solar Warehouse, and Tradezone. Mckercher Corporation subsidiaries PSW Energy and Perth Solar Warehouse have committed to becoming one of Australia’s installers for Aiko Solar panels as part of a turnkey solution.

Left to right: Grant Behrendorff – AC Solar Warehouse, Elio Cordaro – Sol Distribution,  Alex Hang – Aiko, Rami Fedda – Solar Juice,  Tradezone.

Before the distribution signing, Aiko Australia’s Key Account Manager, Ross Crawford, delivered an in-depth product overview at the product launch. However, he singled out McKercher Corporation Director Derek McKercher to share the moment unveiling the Aiko solar panel range. “About six weeks ago, when I updated my LinkedIn profile to show I was now working for Aiko, I very quickly received an excited phone call from a good friend and solar business owner, Derek McKercher, from Perth Solar Warehouse. Derek was over the moon that I had joined Aiko, and he began to talk to me about how he had been watching Aiko for some time now. It was great to see the Aiko technology reach Australian shores. In the weeks since, Derek has been putting together some great content anticipating Aiko launching in Australia. I want to invite Derek to unveil our product offering…”

Customers can rest assured that we’re committed to delivering the most advanced solar and sustainable energy technology. As an Intersolar and Reddot design awardee for 2023, Aiko Solar has subjected its design to innovative scrutiny and prevailed among its peers from two of the most decorated awards on the global circuit.

Among an elite calibre, REC Alpha Pure previously acquired the 2022 Instersolar award for innovation based on its lead-free HJT (heterojunction technology). In 2021, LONGi Solar added Galium dopping to its wafers, mitigating the effects of performance degradation usually associated with conventional P-Type solar panels in the Hi-MO 5. With high recognition for module innovation and design, Aiko Solar looks set to be a revered name on the Australian landscape.

Unlike alternative leading module efficiency innovators, pricing guidance is a likely 20% premium over alternative mainstream market options–a less conventional premium for an efficiency title holder that is almost sure to attract instant local market traction.

Aiko Solar panels are now available for pre-order at PSW Energy as part of a turnkey solar package.

High Distinction: Tesla Premium Certified Installer 2024

Tesla Certified Premium Installer 2024 - PSW Energy, Perth Solar Warehouse wall paper

January 2024: PSW Energy, Perth Solar Warehouse is recognised as a Tesla Premium Certified Installer for the third consecutive year. With an enduring commitment to high-quality and deep product suite knowledge, Tesla Premium Certified Installers represent only 5% of Tesla Energy product installers. Such distinction aims to assist customers in fine-tuning their installer selection towards superior Tesla product outcomes.

Tesla Premium Certified Installers are selected based on a committed fulfilment of criteria essential to the long-term growth of sustainable energy. It’s important to note that once attained, Tesla Premium recognition is never guaranteed. It’s an evolution of aligned core beliefs towards superior self-sustainable power supplies for all. That’s why an inherent importance exists around accurate implementation–a local business most likely to support your energy security long-term.

Derek McKercher [McKercher Corporation, Director] welcomed the strengthened local relationship between the two organisations as pivotal in enduring manufacturer-to-local business relationships.

“A direct relationship over an enduring period has allowed PSW to assist Tesla’s mission towards broader adoption of sustainable energy products for more. Additionally, customers prefer fewer [distributor] layers of complexity, especially where warranty concerns arise.”

Derek McKercher

Proving to be one of the world’s most advanced companies towards independent electrification, Tesla has earned a reputation for attention to detail to earn success. Therefore, why not seek within its top 5% of installation partners where long-term energy security exists? There is no warranty if a product installation doesn’t meet manufacturer specifications. Tesla Certified Premium Installers are Tesla’s most trusted brand partners. McKercher Corporation welcomes this continued trusted recognition of it’s subsidiaries PSW Energy and Perth Solar Warehouse.

The world of sustainable energy is evolving at virtually break-neck speed, and it’s easy to become swept up in the hype. However, sustainable energy isn’t new. It’s rapidly evolved over 15 years in Australia, building tangible customer satisfaction data from established businesses committed to long-term positive outcomes.

Attaining SolarQuotes.com.au’s most coveted status – Legendary installer ranking, PSW Energy & Perth Solar Warehouse is among Australia’s Top 10 solar companies on the SolarQuotes.com.au platform for customer satisfaction: rating x volume x time.
