Solar, Battery & Backup in One

The SigenStor 5-in-one platform — solar, battery, inverter, gateway and EV charging — engineered around your dairy farm and designed to grow with you.

  • 33.25 kW solar + 36kWh battery
  • 30kW 3-phase hybrid inverter
  • SigenStor 5-in-one platform
  • Investment From $73,170 + GST
SEANZ Accredited Green Loans Eligible Battery Included

SOLAR + BATTERY + BACKUP IN ONE PLATFORM

One Platform. Total Energy Control.

70 × 475W panels generating 33.25 kW DC, 36kWh battery storage, a 30kW 3-phase hybrid inverter and 3-phase gateway — all integrated into one stackable SigenStor unit. Built for Taranaki dairy farms.

Solar + Battery From Day One

Not just solar-only — the SigenStor platform includes battery storage, so excess daytime generation powers your evening milking and hot water.

5-in-One Architecture

Solar inverter, battery PCS, battery packs, energy management and EV DC charging integrated into one stackable unit — less wall clutter, more capability.

Stackable & Expandable

Battery modules click together as your farm grows. Start with 36kWh, add more when you add sheds, irrigation or EV utes.

Gateway Backup Options

Where correctly designed, the 3-phase gateway enables backup capability for critical farm circuits — milking, refrigeration, water pumping.

Local Taranaki Support

Designed, installed and serviced by Sinclair Electrical crews based here — not a national call centre. SEANZ-accredited installs.

FAQ

Sigenergy Farm Energy System — FAQs

What makes the Sigenergy system different from a solar-only setup?

The SigenStor platform is a 5-in-one architecture — solar inverter, battery PCS, battery packs, energy management and EV DC charging in one unit. You get solar generation AND battery storage from day one, rather than adding batteries later.

Can I expand the battery storage later?

Yes. SigenStor battery modules are stackable and modular. Start with 36kWh and add more modules as your farm grows — when you add sheds, irrigation, EV utes or want more backup capacity.

What does the 3-phase gateway do?

The gateway coordinates energy across your property and enables backup capability where configured. This means critical farm circuits — milking, refrigeration, water pumping — can stay powered during an outage where the system is correctly designed for it.

How long does installation take?

Typically 2–3 weeks depending on site complexity. We schedule around farm operations to minimise disruption to milking and daily routines.

Do I get tax benefits like depreciation?

Yes — IRD depreciation typically includes a 20% first-year boost. At a 30% tax rate, that's ≈ $4,390 tax saving in Year 1 on a $73,170 system (consult your accountant). Typical payback is ~4–5 years after tax.

Can I charge EVs from this system?

Yes. SigenStor includes a DC charging path, so you can charge farm EVs and utes directly from solar without needing a separate AC EV charger.

The Sinclair team turned up promptly and installed some additional solar panels to give my system a boost, work place left tidy and communication great. Most importantly generating a lot more power. Well recommended!
