Our 'why'

Built on a local demand for transparency and high-spec technology through digital convenience

Perth needed a transparent solution for an improved sustainable energy experience. Trading in electrical and energy services [2004 – 2011] and contracting with retail solar companies [2007 – 2011], Derek identified common customer frustration points among existing retailers. A concept to improve this was a digitally enhanced buying experience offering improved service, value, and trust. Perth Solar Warehouse [2013] connected more product-focused shoppers to their ideal sustainable energy technology with the confidence of a technically backed local company.

The fundamental aspect

Stemming from a field-based solar installer background, we corrected the fundamental component to success. Since no solar product manufacturer warranty applies if an installation fails to meet ‘the manufacturers’ specifications, delivering an installed solution superior to baseline standards improved user experience and customer satisfaction.

A streamlined installation process improves implementation and performance.

Leading Support

Sales, project flow, and aftercare. Nurturing your progress with ongoing support is another essential aspect of enjoying sustainable energy adoption. Our theory is that 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 shopping. It’s usually responsive. 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 use.

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 in solar. Then made it no extra cost.

Custom solutions

The best investments are hassle-free, noninvasive options specific to your needs. Modern software allows for 90% of customised outcomes at your premises through a stringent remote assessment. Alongside a cost-saving sales component in the supply chain, the result delivers the information you require at your convenience with minimal impact on time.

A proven and trusted local service that compliments you and your time.

But who are we?

Over 30 technically inspired staff work at Perth Solar Warehouse, ensuring your ultimate satisfaction. We support local jobs for a stronger community, including installation, sales, support, administration, and projects. We’re less focused on high volume; our objective is long-term organic growth and improving warranty assurance.

Perth Based, Warehouse direct value

Located at 3/90 Discovery Drive, Bibra Lake, Western Australia, we encourage customers to view our technology and business 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're improving high-quality sustainable energy uptake through streamlined business.

More importantly, we're real people

You’ll see us in the street. Let us know how your 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.
