Now and again, a solar energy product arrives in Australia, garnishing the attention of enthusiasts. With established leading brand names consistently innovating to stay ahead of each other, new technology must have a competitive advantage to stand out and earn market share. In 2025, Sigenergy’s SigenStor will disrupt established sustainable energy brands with one of the most innovative all-in-one solutions driven by the goal of improved energy self-sufficiency. Here’s how.
Contents
- Designed on a software foundation
- Ultra efficient DC coupled energy system: inverter, battery, EV charger
- Bidirectional EV charging capabilities
- Flexible and upgradable with ease
- Improved energy storage affordability: Cost p/kWh
Built on a software-first foundation, Sigenergy’s Sigenestor is conveniently positioned to outpace many established sustainable energy technologies. Developing new energy hardware this decade from the ground up enables innovators to think outside the box regarding the technological evolution process. With modern user experience now in the palm of your hand, consider the potential of a product developed from a software-first perspective—opposed to hardware-first. Such a design removes legacy hardware limitations, assisting a streamlined adaptation to modern user expectations as they evolve.
Even though existing energy technologies possess excellent monitoring and control software, limitations restrict the release of software/firmware updates required in an evolving landscape. Most manufacturers have one universal web application for their products, old and new. New updates must consider all ‘legacy’ hardware models, ensuring a stable user experience. The more expansive a product suite, the more diligent a software/firmware release must be. This level of consideration takes time.
Installation professionals will adapt to an alternative concept. However, this new design benefits end-users and installers alike through a more deliverable and controlled design that is less susceptible to installation-influenced failure points while maintaining customisable design flexibility.
The beauty of Sigenergy’s product offering is in its simplicity. The foundations you choose depend on the power supply feeding your premises: single-phase or three-phase. Therefore, the foundation of the Sigenergy energy product range is the Sigen Energy Controller, which facilitates integration with expanded SigenStor energy system products.
Insight: Competing manufacturers are expected to be in a race to follow a similar design concept of all-in-one energy system modularity.

From 2025, home and commercial self-generated power supplies will form part of a user-empowered energy ecosystem. The more harmony there is with self-generated energy and utilisation, the more electricity you save purchasing from the grid. Today, in terms of sustainable energy technology, there are two categorisations: a more disconnected solar energy system with physical wiring to connect disconnected componentry or an all-in-one, internally connected sustainable energy system.

The mySigen App is where the Sigenergy energy system comes together for energy visualisation and control. Purchase add-on hardware such as bidirectional EV charging and cross-compatible 5 and 8 kWh LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron phosphate) battery storage. Revolutionising versatility in an all-in-one sustainable energy solution, it would be fair to suggest that no two SigenStor neighbours are the same.
You use your power differently from your neighbour and deserve an ideal self-generated power supply to suit you, even if that’s in the form of initial affordability in the Sigen Hybrid Inverter with solar panels. Previously, more bespoke solutions were expensive, adding significant cost barriers for the mainstream. SigenStor proves that refined customisation is possible for mass appeal and uptake.

- Determine if you have a single-phase or three-phase power supply.
- Consider your average daily consumption (check energy bill).
- Is the property suitable to accomodate a set number of solar panels to supply SigenStor?
- If solar panels aren't an option, consider SigenStor for dynamic tariff utilisation, and superior DC EV fast charging with bidirectional capabilities.
Determine if your property has a single or 3-phase power supply. Once you know the power supply, it becomes easier to follow the downward Sigenergy SigenStor stream and gauge more accurate pricing for comparison. Following this, consider ‘Total daily energy consumption’ (kWh). Easiest located on your electricity bill.
Give this next step focused consideration for more refined system sizing. What portion of your daily energy use is day vs. night? (e.g., 40% day, 60% night). Knowing this ratio, choose an appropriately sized solar array to charge storage capacity for night-time consumption while meeting day-time energy consumption needs. Understand that different periods of the year will have various levels of self-sufficiency. Suppose SigenStor’s system requirements are initially under-sized. In that case, Sigenergy has developed the SigenStor system to be more accessible and cost-friendly, mitigating the requirement for elongated labour costs during the upgrade.
Perth Solar Warehouse recommends choosing a Sigen Energy Gateway and 8 kWh Sigen battery alongside your ideal Sigen Energy Controller as a foundational SigenStor consideration to help minimise system expansion costs if necessary.
