Tesla Certified Installer PSW Energy First to Adopt Improvements

Tesla Certified Installer Perth Solar Warehouse

After an extensive onboarding process to ensure the Tesla brand integrity and unrivalled customer satisfaction, PSW Energy is a Tesla Certified Installer. With partnerships previously restricted to national retailers, Tesla announced improved product accessibility through ground-level local retailers with an esteemed reputation. Facilitating improved access to Tesla Powerwall products from Perth’s largest online solar superstore.

The Tesla Certified Installer program refines businesses to represent thorough installation integrity and the superior aesthetic appeal sort after by Tesla customers. With this in mind, it was a natural business pairing, PSW Energy for ground-level local appeal and Tesla for elite energy transition infrastructure.

As the solar industry evolves, manufacturers of all solar products are beginning to take on certified installer programs to ensure the supply and installation of selected products meet manufacturer specifications.

Implementing certified installer programs provides the end-user confidence that the product they buy has endured minimal contact points between the factory and installation. Furthermore, as installation often defines performance, understanding unique manufacturer installation guidelines ensure that products exceed consumer expectation.

With a distinguished history of customer satisfaction, Perth Solar Warehouse & PSW Energy (McKercher Corporation subsidiaries) are prominent partners to ensure the exceedingly high standards Tesla customers expect.

PSW Energy Awarded as Founding Australian SMA Power-Up Partner

The world’s most iconic solar inverter brand makes another bold move towards exclusivity. SMA Solar Technology launched the SMA Power-Up program in Australia in January 2019 to affiliate the brand with technically astute retailers/installers. Nominated from industry peers, PSW Energy is a part of the first 25 businesses across Australia, with four established in Perth, Western Australia.

The benefits occur at every level in this instance. Rewarded are installers with additional product benefits to offer end-users. In contrast, end-users become rewarded by attaining an installer with an intimate knowledge of the inverter, its capabilities, and the ability to look after a customer long-term.

Never before has an inverter brand set out to exclude installers from additional sales opportunities. However, with an excessive amount of installation companies unable to survive past the five year mark while leveraging off the back of an inverter’s good reputation, change in this aspect is outstanding progress for the energy transition industry.

Founding SMA Power-Up partners, Western Australia:

  1. PSW Energy (residential)
  2. Advanced Energy Resources (commercial)
  3. Australis Solar (residential)
  4. DNX Energy (residential)

The success of the SMA Power-Up program has seen many installers across Australia vying for a position on the much-converted list. Not only solar installers, but the trend is becoming replicated amongst alternative manufacturers to ensure higher quality control and improved life expectancy of the products.

After the initial launch, SMA expects to ramp up the SMA Power-Up program eligibility to a further 75 businesses nationwide. Ensuring a restricted group of 100 means-tested installers out of a possible 5000 solar companies throughout Australia is another step towards greater consumer confidence when buying sustainable energy products.

PSW Energy Research Centre by Perth Solar Warehouse A New Customer Experience

Engineering energy accessories

From October 2017, Perth Solar Warehouse closed the gap through the newly established PSW Energy brand to offer Perth Solar Warehouse infrastructure/services to a broader market. With a continued commitment to outstanding service and a refined digitally accessible product suite, PSW Energy provides a uniquely identifiable and leading reputation.

A  design and an extensive product offering reaching a broader consumer base are the driving factors behind PSW Energy. In February 2018, a new online shop front to better showcase the technically advanced energy-saving product line began construction. In April 2018, Perth Solar Warehouse began referring existing specified pages to the new PSW Energy online store. In May 2018, the new PSW Energy online store opened its doors to the public.

A dual-layered decision. When McKercher Corporation created Perth Solar Warehouse in 2011, it was the only “Perth Solar” labelled business in the market. With the rise in competitive SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) space and the success of Perth Solar Warehouse online, many business competing businesses realised an unprecedented marketing opportunity.

McKercher Corporation Director Derek McKercher mentioned, “It (Perth Solar Warehouse) is an interesting name to claim intellectual property rights to. IP Australia is reluctant to recognise a trademark infringement involving a capital city and other complex particulars (industry references). Considering the established nature of Perth Solar Warehouse online and the quality knowledgebase offered, as an organisation, we believe PSW Energy will be able to flourish without the ongoing confusion with alternative ‘Perth Solar’ labelled suppliers”. 

A broader business branding also facilitates opportunities and diversity for the business beyond Perth and Solar specific markets.

Pre-2013, the local Western Australian market endured a lack of high-end infrastructure supply for consumers with a long-term energy investment strategy. Perth Solar Warehouse bridged a gap for consumers researching online for German-made components and alternative high-end solar products. 

Since the dawn of the scaled consumer uptake of photovoltaics to offset energy consumption (2007 -2009), the conversation has existed mainly around primary solar system size and available tariffs to evoke an energy bill reduction. Fast forward ten years, and the industry is on the brink, if not already in the process of evolution. With limited design parameters and better technology, self-generated power supplies are more than just solar panels and an inverter. It’s more than self-generation. Modern homes and businesses must be more intelligent to master bill reduction and net zero carbon emissions. More innovative appliances and software alongside energy storage form the basis of a modern sustainable energy solution. 

McKercher Corporation’s vision for PSW Energy is to empower and educate users towards sustainable energy adoption. 

A testament to the localised success and to ensure transparency for past and present customers, the Perth Solar Warehouse name remains as the acronym forming PSW Energy. “Everything remains the same, existing warranty obligations, contact numbers, staff, location, ownership, all we’re doing is redefining our position in the market where potential confusion could arise,” said Derek McKercher.

A flagship business by Mckercher Corporation, PSW Energy will receive increased investment to achieve its goals within a competitive market. However, the overall organisational focus remains broad. New developments are in the pipeline in alternative business models. The primary objective for the immediate future is to develop the PSW Energy brand and bolster existing businesses.

Perth Solar Warehouse In-house Solar Installation Service Bucks Industry Trend

In-house CEC Accredited solar installers Perth WA

It’s known that verticle integration of sustainable energy infrastructure supply businesses provides improved customer outcomes. Therefore, why do many companies avoid executing the installation directly? Reducing risk is the answer, yet this potentially compromises a critical component when supplying sustainable energy infrastructure. Many firms hire certified installation firms through outsourcing agreements to implement their product. Begging the question, who is your installer and who holds the installation warranty?

It’s logical to assume the organisation you purchased the product from, and you would be correct. However, layers of complexity arise in the event of an issue, often overlooked at the point of sale. Organisations that use outsourced services usually don’t carry implementation licences, saving on maintaining a skilled blue-collar workforce. Support, though often lags as the failure, and cost must be discerned between two parties. All of which isn’t too bad if a resolution with minimal downtime can be managed behind the scenes.

Perth Solar Warehouse focuses long-term attention on infrastructure supply and in-house installation services. The launch of sustainable energy infrastructure supplier Perth Solar Warehouse encouraged a greater demand for in-house skilled technicians who knew specialised products intimately from one organisation.  

Based in Perth, Western Australia, possessing in-house CEC accredited solar installers ensures a streamlined process that no longer requires the on-going major developmental attention as any alternative emerging sector.

The implementation of Perth Solar Warehouse is to deliver as a hassle-free option for any person searching for trusted solar power and energy equipment online. With transparent products, pricing and the ability to be one of the industries most trusted sources for related news, we have done that. Now, Perth Solar Warehouse will continue forward with strong foundations and its assured assets of in-house CEC accredited solar installers.

Operated solely in Perth, Western Australia, the solar services installation division continues to outperform initial expectations through the implementation of strict, on and off site disciplines. Those of which are lacking through third party service based businesses within the solar industry.

A realisation of the requirement for advanced skilled installation practices came to attention while observing alternative service based businesses. Not just in the solar energy industry but across a broad spectrum of service based industries. We realised there was a way to do it better, so we utilised what we knew and developed a series of exclusive practices and workflows.

Alternative businesses preach about being the best. However, what defines the best? There is no point competing in a business environment unless what one offers is better or different to what’s already available for consumers. Customer satisfaction plays a vital role within the implementation of the in-house solar installers which Perth Solar Warehouse possess. These resounding actions connect with people while separating and highlighting the industries best.
