When customers started asking for energy systems that could do more than just power their homes - like charging electric vehicles and growing with their needs, we knew we had to look into the buzz around Sigenergy Australia. What we found genuinely impressed us and might just change how you think about powering your home
Here at Energy Solution Centre, we’ve installed countless systems over the years, but after fitting numerous Sigenergy SigenStor batteries in Gold Coast homes, we’re ready to share our unfiltered review - based on real-world performance, not marketing hype.
Could this relatively new player be the answer to Australia’s energy challenges? Let’s find out.
Although Sigenergy is a newcomer (having launched in 2022), it’s made a strong impact. The company’s leadership comes with deep expertise, including veterans from Huawei’s solar and AI divisions - which helps explain their rapid rise.
Since entering the Australian market, Sigenergy has built an impressive network of certified installers, including us here at Energy Solution Centre. We’ve been particularly impressed that several SigenStor models (8kW, 10kW, and 12kW single-phase) have already achieved Clean Energy Council (CEC) certification - a key requirement for Australian government incentives. That kind of endorsement says a lot for a new entrant.
In our years of solar installations, we've seen plenty of battery systems come and go, but the Sigenergy Sigenstor's "5-in-1" design genuinely stands out. Here is why:
Here’s where it gets even more exciting: after compiling numerous Sigenergy battery reviews from our own installations, we've been able to see these five integrated components in action:
Most of our customers appreciate not having to mount separate boxes all over their garage wall. The SigenStor's built-in inverter simplifies installation and looks much cleaner on the wall. It is available in various sizes for both single-phase and three-phase homes.
We've found this integration not only saves space but often reduces the overall system cost compared to separate components.
One feature our customers absolutely love is the ability to start with a smaller battery and add more capacity later. The system uses durable LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries in either 5kWh or 8kWh modules that stack together like building blocks.
We've helped several customers who started with just 8kWh and later expanded to 16kWh or more as their needs grew.
The technical term is "Battery Power Conversion System," but what matters is that this built-in technology optimises how power flows into and out of your batteries.
What we've seen in real-world performance is that you can add new battery modules years later without compatibility headaches which is something many other systems don't handle well.
With more and more of our customers driving electric vehicles, the SigenStor's integrated EV charging capability has been a game-changer. Instead of installing a separate charger, which can cost thousands, the system can provide fast DC charging right out of the box.
We've set up systems delivering up to 25kW on three-phase power, dramatically cutting charging times compared to standard home chargers.
The brains of the operation is what makes everything work together seamlessly. After setting up dozens of these systems, we've seen how the built-in energy management system learns each household's patterns and optimises energy flows to maximise savings.
Our customers enjoy watching their energy usage on the user-friendly app and seeing how the system makes smart decisions automatically.
This hands-on experience gives us confidence in this Sigenergy review. It’s not just about specs, but how the system actually performs in Aussie homes.
Safety is at the core of the SigenStor system:
We've installed these systems in various locations - such as garages, outdoor areas, utility rooms etc. And their robust safety features give both us and our customers confidence.
No two homes are alike, and the SigenStor system adapts:
This flexibility means we've yet to find a home where we couldn't make the Sigenergy Sigenstor work, which isn't something we can say about every battery system we've installed.
When the grid fails, the system kicks in almost instantly - so fast that computers and appliances stay running. With proper sizing, it can power your entire home, not just essential circuits. One client powered their home for 14 hours during a storm and didn’t even notice the grid had gone down!
Forget wall-mounted chargers. The SigenStor’s integrated 25kW bi-directional charger turns your car into a mobile power bank:

New price: Around $9,700
2. 16kWh with 10kW inverter
Previously: ~$20,000 (pre-install)
Rebate: ~$5,150 (based on ~15.6kWh usable)
New price: Around $14,850
3. Typical installed residential system
Previously: $15,000–$25,000+
With rebate: Now reduced by $4,950–$8,250+, depending on total usable storage capacity and system size.
This rebate is applied upfront - no chasing refunds or waiting months. It’s taken off your quote before install.
Still unsure what your actual price looks like? Let’s map out the best system for your home, show you the exact rebate you qualify for, and get you locked in before demand surges.
We don't recommend any product without solid warranty coverage, and Sigenergy's terms give us confidence in their commitment to quality:
The performance warranty guarantees at least 70% capacity retention or a specified minimum throughput: 15.85 MWh for 5kWh batteries and 23.77 MWh for 8kWh batteries, which translates to approximately 3,048 cycles and is very competitive within the industry.
We've worked with both homeowners and local businesses to implement Sigenergy's innovative solutions, delivering reliable energy performance across residential and commercial projects alike. Sigenergy’s scalable solutions include:
These systems apply the same integrated approach to larger energy needs, helping businesses manage costs and improve sustainability.

Sigenergy was founded by Tony Xu, who brings 23 years of experience from Huawei, where he led their Fusionsolar division. His team includes veterans from leading tech and energy companies. While headquartered in China, they've built a strong Australian presence with local support and distribution networks, which has made our job as installers much easier.
After installing and monitoring numerous Sigenergy systems for our Gold Coast customers, we can confidently say yes. The systems deliver on their promises with excellent reliability, outstanding backup power capabilities and innovative features that genuinely improve the home energy experience. Their Clean Energy Council certification further validates what we've seen in real-world performance.
For many of our customers, absolutely yes. Comprehensive Sigenergy battery reviews from our customers consistently highlight the value of backup power security, EV charging capabilities and a system that can grow with their needs. The unified approach also simplifies installation and often provides better long-term value than piecing together separate components.
