From basically nothing just over a year ago, that&#8217;s pretty bloody impressive.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Can&#8217;t say I&#8217;m shocked though. I made a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gf3KtyZ56Ks\">video about their gear<\/a> when it first came out. Thought the SigEnergy stack of battery, inverter, EV charger all rolled into one tidy package was damn clever &#8211; fast, flexible, and the fastest, easiest commissioning I&#8217;ve ever seen. Nobody paid me to say that (I don&#8217;t take manufacturer money), but I was genuinely impressed. Apparently, that video catapulted their sales.<\/p>\n<p>Good on them. Happy to see them doing well.<\/p>\n<p>But when something gets this hot, the comment sections tend to get a bit spicy too.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Cavanagh from MC Electrical &#8211; mate of mine and one of the most respected blokes in the industry &#8211; posted a thoughtful video raising <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=--_ElxeMETs\">some concerns about the product<\/a>. Technical stuff. Measured. Reasonable. You&#8217;d think a company on the rise would welcome that kind of feedback.<\/p>\n<p>Instead? Mark got roasted.<\/p>\n<p>A few days later, Glen Morris (another smart, thoughtful guy) posted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JyKpZHZwAJg\">a video defending the system<\/a>. That&#8217;s fair enough. But some of the online reaction was anything but fair. Comment after comment attacking Mark&#8217;s credibility. Accusing him of making stuff up. Of shilling for Fronius. Of having some hidden agenda.<\/p>\n<h2>It Isn&#8217;t Easy Calling Out Big Brands<\/h2>\n<p>Let&#8217;s be clear: this is completely backwards.<\/p>\n<p>Mark doesn&#8217;t criticise competing products because he sells Fronius. He sells Fronius because after 15 years and hundreds of installs, that&#8217;s the gear he trusts. He&#8217;s a free agent. Family business. His name&#8217;s on the door. He&#8217;s not going to hand his kids a company built on kit he has misgivings about.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s also one of the bravest people in the solar industry. Most people have no idea what he went through when he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/solaredge-is-furious\/\">called out SolarEdge years ago<\/a>. Let&#8217;s just say it wasn&#8217;t pretty (and IMO SolarEdge should be ashamed) &#8211; but it helped push the whole industry forward.<\/p>\n<p>And I get this too. Any time I raise concerns, someone pipes up with: &#8220;You only say that because you run a solar website!&#8221; No. It&#8217;s the other way round. I run a solar website because I&#8217;ve always said this stuff.<sup class='endnote'><a href='https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/phase-shift-dont-let-sigenergy-become-a-cult\/#en-93138-1' id='enref-93138-1' onclick='return hhEndnotes_show(93138)'>1<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_93143\" style=\"width: 2010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93143\" class=\"wp-image-93143 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Finn-Sigenergy.jpg\" alt=\"A man looking at a Sigenergy system\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Finn-Sigenergy.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Finn-Sigenergy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Finn-Sigenergy-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Finn-Sigenergy-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Finn-Sigenergy-1536x1025.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-93143\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I am impressed with what SigEnergy has accomplished in Australia in a short space of time, but I&#8217;ll continue to view them and any brand through a skeptical lens.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>No Company Is Above Criticism<\/h2>\n<p>The point is: admiration is fine. But don&#8217;t turn it into worship. No brand &#8211; no matter how smart or shiny &#8211; is above criticism. Especially when they&#8217;re flogging $7,000 EV chargers. That&#8217;s expensive no matter how fast they are. So&#8217;s a Bugatti.<\/p>\n<p>This industry doesn&#8217;t need more influencers. It needs qualified sceptics. Practitioners. People willing to say &#8220;hang on&#8221; and ask the annoying questions before things go sideways.<\/p>\n<p>SigEnergy&#8217;s rise is impressive. Their product is changing the industry. They secured a podium finish in both the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/best-home-batteries-2025\/\">best battery<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/best-ev-chargers-2025\/\">best EV charger<\/a> categories for our Installer&#8217;s Choice Awards. Their fans are enthusiastic. I&#8217;m enthusiastic.<\/p>\n<p>But if it&#8217;s as good as they say, it&#8217;ll hold up just fine under scrutiny.<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s welcome the praise, and the pushback. That&#8217;s how real trust gets built, and how this industry ends up with the best gear possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SigEnergy reckons they&#8217;ve grabbed 30% of Australia&#8217;s home battery market.
