No inverter in the fleet publishes a year-by-year performance or output guarantee the way panels and batteries do - this shows the covered term against the market-typical term and where every scored inverter’s term lands (grey dots, sized by model count), plus what the warranty actually includes.

System decision

Australian system fit

Only exact, manufacturer-named Australian paths are shown. A shared brand, product family or output rating is not proof of compatibility.

Confirmed pairing

The exact named battery pairing is recorded as confirmed for Australia.

Three phase · AU · checked 2026-08-02

Backup: Whole-home backup requires a Sigen Energy Gateway used with the Energy Controller and Sigen battery.

Required hardware: Sigen Energy Gateway Home AU.

Configuration boundary: One to six battery modules per controller; only the combinations listed in Sigenergy's current model table are established.

Before you buy

Two things to check

Local positionUse a market view to check local availability, approvals and warranty scope.

Ask the installer: Will the exact SigenStor EC TP model satisfy the site phase, array, MPPT, export-control and local grid requirements?
