SigenStor: New Home Pro Gateway, Bi-Directional EV (12/25kW) + Microinverters

Video Description

We hit the SigEnergy stand at Solar & Storage Live 2025 (NEC, Birmingham) for a hands-on SigenStor demo, plus an exclusive sit-down with SigEnergy UK Director, Luis. You’ll see what’s new on the Home Pro gateway (IP55, bypass, 125A breaker, cable cover), get a clear V2H/V2G walkthrough with the 12.5kW & 25kW DC bi-directional EV chargers, and learn when their new microinverter makes sense (adding panels after you’ve maxed out MPPTs, tricky roofs, rapid shutdown). Bonus: the £30–£50 Shelly hot-water hack that can save serious money vs a traditional diverter. 🌟 What You’ll Learn: - The upgraded SigenStor gateway: IP55 rating, built-in bypass, higher amperage, neater finish - Bi-directional EV charging (12.5kW / 25kW): how V2H/V2G really works in UK homes - Power sources for high-rate charging: PV, battery, grid — and when each applies - Microinverter use-cases: shaded panels, parallel with SigenStor, rapid shutdown potential - The Shelly device tip for hot-water diversion with SigenStor (low cost, high impact) Chapters: 00:18 Quick recap: Energy Controller (single-phase demo) 00:34 Controller range: Single Phase 3–12kW, 3 Phase up to 30kW 02:02 Name check: it’s “SigEnergy” ✅ 02:15 New Home Pro gateway overview (upgraded from Home Max) 02:48 Features: bypass, decorative cover, IP55, 125A breaker 03:20 Why bypass matters (keep the lights on if there’s an issue) 04:02 Bi-directional EV charging (DC): 12.5/25kW & cable lengths 04:54 Power sources: PV + battery + grid (behind-the-meter logic) 05:14 Car compatibility & software caveats (check SigEnergy list) 06:00 How many batteries for 25kW?
