Tindo makes solar panels in Adelaide, which makes them the outlier in a market supplied almost entirely from overseas. PSW Energy is working on bringing them into the Western Australian range. This page covers what that would mean and where the work has got to.
PSW Energy is working with Tindo to bring Australian-made panels into the Western Australian range. That work is still going on, and the panels are not in the range yet.
Status, August 2026: the partnership is live and the commercial detail is being worked through. We are not putting a date on it until we can hold one. This page is where the news will land.
This move reflects a shared vision: a cleaner, more secure, and more locally supported energy future for WA homes. As Director Derek McKercher put it when announcing the partnership via LinkedIn, “I’m bringing Australian-made solar panels to Western Australia.”
That intent still stands. Turning it into panels on WA roofs is the part being worked through now.
Tindo partnership update
- PSW Energy is working to bring Australian-made Tindo panels into the WA range. Not available yet, and no release date is being promised until there is one worth printing.
- This partnership strengthens long-term energy security for WA families by reducing reliance on global supply chains and combining local manufacturing with PSW Energy’s 20+ years of trusted installation expertise.
Australian manufacturing and WA conditions
For years, Western Australian families have relied on imported solar technology. Most of it performs well. A panel engineered for Australian conditions starts from a different set of assumptions about heat, UV and salt.
Tindo’s Australian manufacturing advantage brings homeowners:
Exceptional panel durability, backed by some of the strictest quality controls in the industry
A design philosophy aligned with harsh heat, high UV, and coastal weather
Full material and production transparency, giving families confidence in what goes on their roof
Tindo panels are built where they’re used. That means performance you can trust in real WA conditions—not laboratory simulations overseas.
25-year warranty and support
A solar system is a long-term investment, and warranties can make all the difference over the lifespan of a system. Tindo panels offer:
A genuine 25-year product warranty backed by an Australian company
A 25-year performance guarantee designed purposefully for Australian conditions
Australian-based support, ensuring faster service and clearer communication
A warranty is only worth the company standing behind it, which is the argument for an Australian manufacturer rather than the length of the term.
Local supply and replacement panels
In recent years, global supply chain disruptions have highlighted the importance of local resilience. Solar technology is no exception. By partnering with an Australian manufacturer, PSW Energy strengthens supply certainty for WA families. Local manufacturing means:
A more reliable supply of panels
Shorter lead times and fewer logistics interruptions
Support for Australian jobs, innovation, and energy sovereignty
Shorter supply lines matter most when something goes wrong: a warranty replacement sourced locally is a different timeline from one shipped in.
20+ years of local energy expertise
For over two decades, PSW Energy has been installing solar systems designed specifically for Western Australian homes. We understand the climate, the roof types, the local regulations, and the long-term needs of WA families.
By combining this experience with Australian-made Tindo panels, the combination we are aiming at is:
Local reliability
High performance
Long-term value
WA-focused energy independence
Whether that combination beats an imported panel on the numbers is the question we are working through, and it will not have the same answer for every roof.
Availability planning
The partnership is real and the work is continuing. What is still being settled is where Australian-made panels fit best in the WA market, which is a question about price, roof type and who they suit rather than about whether the panels are good.
Stay informed. Reach out to PSW Energy to register your interest and we will tell you when there is something concrete to tell you.
A new chapter of Australian-made solar is coming to Western Australia. And for homeowners ready to embrace a more secure, locally supported energy future—West Australians supporting an Aussie made future in sustainable energy, this is just the beginning.
