Our 'why'

Built on a local demand for high-value and transparency

Perth needed an honest and transparent solution for an improved sustainable energy experience: Trading in electrical and energy services [2004 – 2011], contracting to retail solar companies [2007 – 2011], Derek McKercher identified customer frustration points common among existing retailers. With the evolving internet as an ideal medium, an opportunity arose to do things better and differently. McKercher Corporation created Perth Solar Warehouse to connect astute shoppers to the desired technology and a service that could exceed expectations.

After all, isn’t that what we all want? Not the minimal qualifying service, but to enjoy and feel appreciated throughout the experience. Consider that your journey now goes beyond the point of sale… Perth Solar Warehouse is your awarded future focused energy ecosystem provider, offering value and local technical know-how.

The fundamental aspect

We began correcting the baseline component fundamental to success. Since no solar product manufacturer warranty applies if an installation fails to meet ‘the manufacturers’ specifications, delivering a superior outcome greater than baseline industry standards towards improved user satisfaction and experience became crucial.

A superior installation process to industry standards for improved performance.

Leading Support

Sales, project flow, and aftercare. Your support along the journey is another essential aspect of enjoying sustainable energy adoption. If you enjoy the implementation experience of your new power supply, you are more likely to make the most of the final product.

It’s easy to gauge sales support when discerning businesses at face value, but what about aftercare? All modern products with an internet connection now require local technical assistance to support bill queries, WiFi reconnections (when needed), and resources for improved product utilisation.

Perth Solar Warehouse customers receive complimentary PSW Life Support with every combined product and installation service.

We created the most comprehensive installation and support care package.

Custom solutions

The best investments are hassle-free, noninvasive options specific to your needs. Modern software allows for 90% of personalised outcomes at your premises to be attained through a stringent remote assessment. Alongside a product cost saving, the result delivers the information you desire sooner with minimal impact on personal time.

A streamlined service that compliments you and your time.

But who are we?

Over 30 technically inspired staff work at Perth Solar Warehouse to ensure your ultimate satisfaction. We support local jobs for a better community, including installation, sales, support, administration, and projects. We’re less focused on short-term volume; our objective is long-term sustainable growth, and that’s greater warranty assurance for you.

Perth Based, Warehouse direct value

Located at 3/90 Discovery Drive, Bibra Lake, Western Australia, we encourage customers to view our technology and operation before buying.

Visiting a solar company, an alternative to in-home consultations, provides a thorough scope of the operation, the people you’re investing in to be a part of your sustainable energy journey and a better gauge of organisation appeal.

We bulk buy. That provides savings. Combined with installation, we pass these savings directly to the customer, providing competitive, local, sustainable energy solutions with complimentary PSW Life Support.

We improve high-quality sustainable energy uptake through superior technology and outstanding value.

More importantly, we're real people

You’ll see us in the street. Let us know how your self-sustainable electrification journey is going. Maybe we have some extra tips to help you get the most out of your purchase. Either way, we love hearing how you’re enjoying your new electron-powered benefits. We want you to experience the reason why the world is shifting.

A locally awarded solar company who wants your success.
