Whole home back and DC electric vehicle charging just got an upgrade in the UK and beyond! Check out the Sigenergy SigenStor!
This was provided to us free of charge in exchange for this video and we delve into the installation process and powerful features of this feature rich product.
From the installation on the wall to app operation and gateway testing.
This is unlike anything else we have tried before and the quality speaks for itself. The datasheets and product information is listed below along with a link to the installer portal for any installers who want to take the free training Sigenergy offer.

Yes we use the SiGe here in Ireland, it is the best one out there on data specs but also it is 1K more expensive than the Sofar powerall which has less depth, great for utility rooms. nothing lasts outside where we are!

A nice looking bit of kit, Mark. One or two things I noted during the install - design issues, not installer issues 🙂 - the AC power connector to the inverter doesn't give much room for the bend in the AC cable. Maybe the manufacturer should have a right-angled terminal connector as an option to make the electrician's life a wee bit easier! Secondly, the finished outdoor unit is very smart but I think I would be fitting some kind of mesh to close-off the gap at the back of the unit to prevent rodent damage to cables or wasp nests. The changeover contactor has to be break-before-make, of course, and so there is no guarantee that any equipment like routers or desktop PCs will not 'see' the grid drop out. I would always advise the use of UPS for these devices. The minimum delay before back-sync and automatic reconnection to the grid from island mode required by G99 is 20s (clause 10.3.4). I would say it should be a minimum of 60s if the installation is supplied from an overhead MV distribution network to allow any auto-reclosing equipment on the overhead feeder to have finished its sequence. Finally, I'm a bit wary of the use of a C125 incoming MCCB(?). Installations in rural areas supplied from pole-mounted transformers can have surprisingly low prospective fault currents, so a busbar fault in the gateway might not be cleared! Thanks for another very detailed and informative video.

Thanks! The connector space is pretty roomy tbh behind the cover panel. Perhaps deceptive on the video. But as an installer more than happy with wiring room at the inverter and gateway. Enclosure around cables is always a battle outdoors. That said rodents and wasps will find a way past most barriers. Absolutely correct this is not UPS but the time is in the milli seconds. We have tried this on multiple similar solutions from other manufacturers. Most past the router and PC test tbf to them. Which is incredible really. In terms of the OCPD we need to remember we are protecting faults within the installation. Those are selected based on design considerations. It can not be expected of manufacturers to provide a one size fits all. In the circumstances you describe the breakers can if required be changed. That said much like main tails into a regular consumer unit the service fuse is always a final catch all in terms of short circuit in the main switchgear. Luckily here we have plenty of fault current. Thanks for watching.

Impressive system. Better than Givenergy All in 1 imo with the mix and match plug in stack and fire safety features. The dc charger appears very expensive, so normal ac might be better for now. Regarding comms what does the 4g dongle do. Is it necessary if connecting cat 6 to the gateway?. Thanks for the video and information Mark

@electrician247 19 дней назад
I wouldn't say it's better but has different capabilities. Stronger in some areas weaker in others. So many options on the market tbh! The Sigenergy products can use WiFi, Lan and 4G all at once. The thought process is one should always be available. During times of a local powercut may take out broadband to a town for example.

Great video as I am considering pretty much this exact config. The gateway is my sticking point tho. From what I can tell it is really only providing a UPS type feature if I am correct. We can still feed back to the grid without it. In the video it sound like there is a humm out of it when it is on the grid. That might affect where I would be putting it TBH.
@electrician247
@electrician247 Месяц назад
Yes the gateway is just for backup purposes and bringing multiple generators into that system. You don’t need it just to use the system both for storage and import/export. It does humm a little as all contactors do Thanks Mark

D'oh, I'd pretty much made up my mind to go with GivEnergy (but not the all-in-one due to present scalability & cost) but SigEnergy looks very interesting. DC charging module as well. Key point being is cost? Is it comparable with GivEnergy, which I can easily price check with other products. I've not found pricing on SigEnergy SigenStor. Good vid.

With the GE you'll need a solar inverter as well as isolators. Correct me if I'm wrong but this is all included so looks cheaper than the All in 1 and imo a much neater solution I.e less wires and trunking on show

Another great video Mark. 1) You said a peak of 9000w from the battery in backup (off-grid) mode? The data sheet says 10 seconds. So does it take up to 10 seconds to be able to supply 9000w? Or can it supply up to 9000w peak for 10 seconds? 2) Would the discharge rate be limited by the 6 Kw inverter? Two 8Kw batteries could theoretically discharge 4Kw each, totalling 8Kw but the actual AC discharge limited to 6Kw by the inverter. 3) As the batteries are DC coupled could two 8Kw batteries charge directly from solar panels at 4Kw each simultaneously, or again, are you limited by the 6Kw inverter? So one battery charging at 100% rate (4Kw) and the second at 50% rate (2Kw), or split to both at 3Kw each? Thanks in advance for your answers.
@electrician247
@electrician247 24 дня назад
1. 10s peak 9kW 2. The inverter would limit the AC output but not the DC power to an electric vehicle on the DC charger. They now have up to 12kW single phase inverters available this used to be the biggest, no more! 3. Yes DC from the panels can go direct to the batteries. It has a hybrid capability for both ac and dc coupling.

@@electrician247 Mark, I really appreciate your reply. Your passion for your work, industry and solar is evident and highlighted by all of the replies to the comments for all of your videos, very commendable 👏🏻 Could I ask a supplementary question 🫣 1) Does the gateway require any form of DNO permission or notification? I thought that some DNO’s are “uncomfortable” with systems that “island,” but can feed back. Is this system the advancement of this? I think you said the contactor will immediately “break” up on detection of power loss from the grid, thus preventing any back feed. Therefore, are the DNO’s accepting of that?
