yeah i would also like to get some feedback from anyone running Sigenergy systems as seems like a great system and thus far support from Sigenergy themselves has been brilliant. NOTE i am still researching on which system to deploy.

Advantages: 

- Oms Change over 

- 100% DoD on their SigenStor bataries 

- avd Fire detection / prevention ( temp sensors , internal fire-extinguister , Aearogel insulated pads, decompression valves , high temp resistacne inusation )

- much lower noise levels 

- Weatherproof ( IP54 GW / IP66 Inverter / Bataries ) - Ideal for coastal area.

- seems it comes with everything apart from the PV side 

- Faults - you dont have to take / send the unit in for repair , they send you a replacement and installer to resove at Sigenergy cost

 

Disadvanates 

- Seems more costly initial capital outlay 

- not as widely used / adpoted in SA as UK/AUS .. so not much info avaiable from end users.

 

Thanks in advance

My initial thoughts: 

Clever design, good form factor across the range. Makes for scalability very easily. I  don't know the pricing but I can imagine it must be expensive. Also it uses AI to manage it's entire system on how you will use energy. So AI is great when I works but what happens when it doesn't? Imagine the frustration of trying to work with a system that is planning your usage & you not really part of that conversation. 

I like automation & lived with it in life critical equipment & it worked very well. AI unfortunately for me takes the leap a bit far because you are observed but not privy to the information. I like to know what a machine has planned for my house hold energy management. Also I think there needs to be a manual mode where one can manually do what they want to do. 

I hope there are these modes but for a residential modern home that will have an EV at some stage it's great. However, AI is relatively new...I would hate to be the guinea pig. I see that some want to use this on the Heavy C&I market & thats where I think the right tool for.the job comes to mind. It doesn't have a transformer so my guess is that it's a Gate Drive system. 

Unfortunately I don't have much confidence in that architecture for Heavy industrial places. 

Looks super modern & promising. Looks like it will be judged as time goes by but most average ppl will just buy a more simple easy cheaper manageable system that's not complicated. Maybe I'm just old & sceptical...

yeah the AI portion is very vague at this stage .... in essence I think it means the ability to change the config manually is removed and the AI is going to manage the backend.. which is fine in UK/AUS but here we want the flexibility to adapt the system priorities when load shedding kicks in, if you are dependent on the Grid at all , or if sun power is not sufficient for a few days ( aka overcast / rainy and in winter )
