Our 40kWh Sigenergy Battery: mySigen App and 3-Phase Backup Power Test

Video Description

Join Tom and Joy from Ludicrous Feed for a detailed walkthrough of their new 40kWh Sigenergy home battery installation in their Sydney garage. In this video, we cover the reasons for the upgrade, the specifications of the system, and how it integrates with their existing solar and the Amber Electric plan. We discuss the federal government battery rebate that influenced our decision and share the total cost before and after the incentive. We also show the process of relocating our previous Tesla Powerwall. A significant portion of the video is dedicated to the Sigenergy mySigen app's functionality, its integration with Amber Electric for energy trading (buying low and selling high), and a test of the system's three-phase backup capability during a simulated grid outage.
