    • Seamless Backup: Automatic outage detection with <10ms transition to battery power.

    • Monitoring: Real-time control via mySigen App (energy usage, charging schedules, load prioritisation).

Battery Model Capacity (kWh) Cycle Life Key Feature
SigenStor 5–30 kWh 6,000+ 100% DoD, EV charging compatible
Pylontech US5000 4.8 kWh 6,000+ Modular stacking (up to 240kWh)
Selectronic SP Pro 10–200 kWh 4,500 3-phase generator integration

 


Precision System Sizing: Data-Driven Approach

Using Sigenergy’s Energy Gateway and industry software (HOMER Pro), we design systems for:

1. Small Homestead (Off-Grid Cabin)

  • Daily Load: 20 kWh (lights, fridge, water pump).

  • Solar: 10 kW (18x Trina 550W panels).

  • Storage: 1x SigenStor (30 kWh) + Sigen Energy Gateway.

  • Backup: Seamless switch to Generator.

2. Working Farm (Dairy/ Irrigation)

  • Daily Load: 70 kWh (milking machines, cold storage).

  • Solar: 35 kW (64x Jinko 550W panels).

  • Storage: 2x SigenStor (60 kWh) + 15kVA generator.

  • EV Charging: Power farm vehicles via SigenStor’s DC charger.

  • Backup: Seamless switch to Generator.

3. Agri-Business (Poultry/Processing)

  • Daily Load: 150 kWh (HVAC, automation).

  • Solar: 80 kW (145x REC 550W panels).

  • Storage: 3x SigenStor (90 kWh) + Selectronic 50kW inverter.

  • Backup: Seamless switch to Generator.

Case Study: Off-Grid Winery Near Yass

 

Challenge: $18,000/year diesel costs for irrigation and cooling.
Solution:
