Finn's Sigenergy Inverters Review & Verdict
Finn Peacock has been a Chartered Electrical Engineer since 1998, and is ex-CSIRO
Although new to the Aussie market (launched in 2024), I've been impressed with what I've seen from Sigenergy.
Their app is the only solar/battery/home energy monitor that is as good as Tesla's. Their commissioning takes minutes. The backup, including 3-phase, is seamless.
Installers really like the hardware and their Aussie support is prompt.
Highly recommended, despite the lack of a long track record in Australia.
Sigenergy Inverters: Pros & Cons
- Reasonably priced
- Up to 4 MPPT trackers
- IP66 ingress rating
- Comprehensive monitoring
- Issues reported in late 2025 concerning overheated terminals, melted plugs and burnt out wiring on some single-phase inverter models that have been improperly installed.

Sigen Hybrid Inverters
---
Update: 13 November, 2025. We've been made aware some Sigenergy single-phase inverter based Sigenstor battery systems are experiencing issues relating to overheated terminals, melted plugs and burnt out wiring. The company is taking action. More information here.
---
Sigen hybrid inverters can be used in conjunction with a solar power system only, or with solar panels and the SigenStor battery and charger modules. But note that if you add SigenStor energy storage after the inverter module has been installed, you'll need to purchase and activate a licence.
The company's inverters offer up to 4 MPP (Maximum Power Point) trackers, 97.6% conversion efficiency and DC/AC ratio of up to 2. Communications are via WLAN, Ethernet or 4G.
Sigen inverters are built for tough conditions, with an IP66 rating providing very high resistance to dust, humidity and rain. The inverters have an operating temperature range of -30C ~ 60C. In a country such as Australia, that sort of robustness is a real plus.
Sigen hybrid inverters are available in Australia in single-phase and three-phase models. Among the single-phase offerings, which measure 700 x 300 x 283 mm and weigh 36 kg, are the:
- 8.0 SP AU: 8.0 kW
- 10.0 SP AU: 10.0 kW
- 12.0 SP AU: 12.0 kW
All of these are on the Clean Energy Council's approved inverter list: a must-have if you want to claim Australia's solar rebate, some state incentives and to get permission to have the system connect to the grid. Other capacities (greater and less than the above) are CEC-approved when installed as part of a full Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).
CEC-approved 3-phase models (5kW, 10kW, 15kW, and 25kW) are also available here when installed as part of a BESS.
Sigen PV Max
Additionally, CEC-approved non-hybrid single-phase models called "PV Max" in capacities from 3kW to 6kW can be purchased in Australia as well. The PV Max inverters in this range have 2 MPPTs, up to 98% conversion efficiency and an IP66 ingress rating. Sigenergy produces other single-phase units (up to 12kW) and three-phase PV Max inverters (up to 25kW), but as at the time of updating this page, they weren't CEC listed.
Inverter Monitoring
Real-time monitoring is available via the comprehensive mySigen App, which is powered by AI (GPT-4). This could be very attractive to some and a little off-putting to others. According to the company, the AI smarts can help achieve maximum energy bill savings by automatically accessing system operation, dynamic tariffs, and weather data. Owners can instruct the app using a chat feature and also submit support tickets if they encounter issues during system operation directly from within the app.
Sigen Inverter Warranty
Sigenergy Technology Co., Ltd. warrants that their hybrid inverters will be free of defects caused by improper workmanship or defective materials for a period of 10 years.
Sigenergy is currently a SolarQuotes-approved inverter brand. If you're using a Sigen inverter in Australia, let us know your opinion by leaving a review.

I have taken a star off the rating for the following reasons:
- the inverter only has a 5 year warranty, while competitor brands provide a 10 year warranty
- the app, while excellent in terms of presentation and features, has poor documentation.
While the poor documentation makes the app more difficult to master, it provides excellent information about how the system is operating, great data tracking, very accessible graphical presentation of the system components and a extensive range of features, including a lot of customisation options.

The actual install has done this providing a seamless on grid/offgrid experience integrated with an existing Fronius inverter on a shed. Three of the common power outages I experience have been ridden out with just a message in app to log it.
However of the two 5kW Sigenergy inverters installed one faulted on the first day with the PV inputs. Initially showing a reverse polarity alarm then going completely open circuit with no voltage seen.
Arrays have been tested for polarity and proven to work on the first inverter.
Since then I have been operating with only the PV input from 1 inverter and the existing solar inverter charging the unit with faulted PV inputs.
Two weeks latter, my installer is still trying to get an RMA, while getting responses back saying they have resolved the issue remotely. (Cleared alarms from my view)
My installer shared 1 response from the support and frankly it looked like someone had plugged something into a AI search with no understanding.
As an electrician I know how often products can fail, but the Sigenergy warrantee support is not creating a good experience.

It a pretty sexy inverter too, would gladly have it in the living room as a feature. ?
Real time information is amazing, can even see what my coffee machine uses while I’m using it.

According to the App, since the system was installed, we are on average generating around 80% of our energy use on site, with the balance coming from the grid. We are happy with that outcome.

Only been installed for around 2 weeks but so far happy with the installation

We went with 24kwh batteries and a 10kw inverter. 13.2kw of Jinko panels on the roof.
The app is really good and easy to see where your power is being distributed to the batteries or grid.
Another great feature is real time power consumption. So when you flick on an appliance you can see how much it draws straight away which will help with managing consumption. We can run the 16kw ducted AC and still fill the batteries when the sun is shining.
