Sigenergy Unveils World's First Five-in-One Energy Storage System with Successful Vehicle-to-Grid Rollout in Australia

Will Hall, the managing director of Sigenergy for Australia and New Zealand, shares insights into his extensive experience in renewables over 15 years. He discusses a groundbreaking project involving the world's first five-in-one energy storage system that integrates hybrid inverters with DC EV chargers capable of vehicle-to-home (V2H) and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) functionalities. This innovative product bypasses car inverters to charge directly at up to 25 kilowatts, significantly increasing charging efficiency compared to traditional AC chargers. The V2G capability allows customers not only faster charging but also potential financial benefits through partnerships with Virtual Power Plant (VPP) providers like Amber, where users can earn substantial income by discharging stored energy back into the grid during peak times or outages. Despite challenges such as obtaining manufacturer cooperation on warranties and distribution network approvals due to concerns about battery damage or grid stability, successful trials have led manufacturers like Ford's F-150 Lightning adapting their models for this technology in Australia—demonstrating its commercial viability while enhancing resilience against blackouts without costly infrastructure upgrades.

Talk of session: Will Bidirectional Charging Make Home and Commercial Storage Systems Superfluous or are They a Perfect Match?

Bidirectional charging and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology in particular use the storage capacities of vehicle batteries to make our energy system more flexible, efficient and cost-effective. So do we still need home storage systems at all? In this session, the leading manufacturers of home storage systems will take a stand on the topic.
