SigenStor by Sigenergy — the all-in-one solar battery for Aussie homes and businesses
SigenStor is Sigenergy's AI-optimised, integrated "5-in-one" energy system, combining a solar inverter, battery power conversion, battery pack, energy management system, and an optional DC EV charger. It reduces boxes, cabling, and complexity while providing a single platform to manage solar, storage, and charging.
The modular LiFePO₄ batteries are available in 5 kWh and 8 kWh sizes, with capacity scaling by stacking modules. In practice, systems can grow from small to large residential setups (commonly to ~48 kWh), so you can start modestly and expand without changing ecosystems.
Add the Sigen EV DC Charging Module to unlock up to 25 kW DC charging directly from solar or the battery, plus V2X readiness for vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid use—turning your car into part of the energy system.
For AllPhase customers, this means a cleaner installation today and clear upgrade paths tomorrow: start with solar and storage, then add EV charging or extra capacity as tariffs and loads evolve. SigenStor is ideal for households and small businesses pursuing higher self-consumption and a future-proof path to electrification.

Managing Director
Ben Bulter
Ben was raised on the South Coast in Batemans Bay and wanted to be a sparky from a young age. He didn't want to be an average sparky, he wanted to be the best and, today is among a small percent of electricians in the Southern Hemisphere to hold his specific package of licenses and accreditations. Bens drive for continuing his skills and knowledge is part of who he is professionally and personally and in 2024 he conquered his lifelong dream and became a pilot.
Ben is passionate about being at the forefront of his industry's new technologies and the latest ideas and concepts. He thrives on knowledge and being able to offer up-to-date products and services to all clients.
After starting his apprenticeship in the Bay, Ben headed to the capital to gain more extensive, in-depth experience. He did just that, completing his training with one of Canberra's leading electrical companies in record time. In Canberra, Ben managed multi-million dollar projects and large teams of electricians.
Backed by his experience and suite of licenses, Ben returned to the South Coast with his family to grow AllPhase Electrical and Solar, taking on domestic and commercial projects of all sizes with confidence.
Ben and the team, by mid 2025 will have completed a high-end unit site, Kailani, taking the electrical and solar component of the job from the ground up, starting with level 2 all the way to the roof top solar.
Ben isn't just passionate about being a top-notch electrician. He's passionate about providing quality and timely service to all clients, providing advice, explaining options, and answering questions. Coming from humble beginnings he understands the kind of investment that his clients outlay for the services he provides and conducts his business based on core values of superior service, professionalism and skill and knowledge beyond an average electrician.
Ben is the Managing Director of AllPhase Electrical and Solar. He works alongside his wife, Nadine Butler, who manages the company's Head Office in Batemans Bay. Together this dynamic duo is offering benchmark services with integrity, and they're proud of it.

Nadine was born and raised in Batemans Bay. After finishing her HSC at Carroll College, she headed to Canberra to kickstart her professional life.
It wasn't long before Nadine landed a position in the fast-paced medical industry, working for a Paediatric specialist and exhibiting initiative and drive.
Nadine volunteered twice in the Northern Territory during her time working with Dr. Peter Wong, offering dental care to indigenous children in Katherine and nearby remote communities. under general anaesthesia. This experience of helping children in need, still to this day, is one of the most fulfilling and meaningful experiences of her working life.

Solar FAQs
Solar power, as a renewable energy source, has many benefits for the planet and for our own health. One major benefit is that solar reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which are bad for the environment and contribute to climate change. Solar power also reduces air pollution and reduces your carbon footprint. Using solar results in fewer air pollutants which can affect our health.
Many studies have shown that quality solar energy systems add value to properties and can increase a sale price. The amount will obviously vary from property to property and even where the property is located. You can talk to an experienced real estate agent about this.
The best approach to choosing a reputable solar company is to do some research. This will help you avoid choosing a company that doesn't have a solid reputation and a proven track record. The last thing you need is a company that promises a 'too-good-to-be-true' deal and then disappears without a trace. Check out their experience, years in business, licensing, accreditations, and warranties. Also, check online for customer reviews.
It's important to maintain your solar power system, especially since it's a major investment. You can do this by:
- checking your inverter is working regularly, every week or fortnight
- checking your unit is operating with no error indicators (if in doubt, follow the shut-down procedure and arrange for a solar specialist to come and inspect)
- keeping your inverter manual close by to cross-reference if needed
- avoiding playing around with your system or trying to perform DIY repairs since you could create a major fire hazard without knowing it
- having a maintenance arrangement in place so your installer regularly checks your solar panel investment.
Your best bet is to talk to a solar expert and get them onsite to provide advice on the suitability of your roof. Certainly, North-facing roofs large enough to have a solar panel system installed are winners, especially if there's little or no shade. Even if your roof doesn't face North or has some shading issues, there will be options that a solar expert can pinpoint and explain.
This depends on the quality of your solar panel system. A quality system should generate free power for at least 25 years. Your solar expert can provide details on this.
Certainly, clean panels work better than ones covered in dirt. Quality solar panels positioned correctly can self-clean with rain for the most part. If a dry spell descends it's a good idea to have a professional give your solar panels a good clean to get the maximum power output possible.
It's wise to talk to expert Clean Energy Council accredited installers and designers. When you think about it, you wouldn't take your car to be looked by someone who isn't a mechanic, so don't have your solar dealt with by anyone other than a professional who is fully trained.
When choosing the best solar panel system, conduct some research to get your head wrapped around what the industry offers. Also talk to an expert, however, since they'll be able to communicate complexities in plain English.
Electrical FAQs
It's essential to engage a qualified electrician to handle electrical repairs in your home or business. It's the safest way and ensures you comply with legal requirements. The last thing you want is to start a fire or get shocked, which are the big risks with DIY electrical work. YouTube videos don't cut it with electrical work! Also, remember that handymen, although they might say they're capable of handling your electrical work, aren't trained or certified to do so. Do the right thing and call a qualified, licensed, insured and experienced electrician to get the job done to Australian standards.
You can change blown lightbulbs and install battery-operated smoke alarms (but not electrical wired ones) and other very basic jobs. The big thing to remember is that installing any electrical device needs the care of a qualified electrician. If in doubt, check with an electrician first.
Many signs indicate an electrical problem. Stay safe by contacting a qualified electrician immediately if you spot ANY sign you think could be a problem. This could include but is not limited to, discolouration of walls, which can be caused by burning inside your outlet or other damage or incorrect installation. Problems can also include experiencing a tingling sensation if you plug in any electrical device, which is a sign of major trouble. A burning smell coming from an outlet is another indicator. This could indicate that the outlet needs to be immediately replaced. Other signs include an outlet that is hot to the touch or makes sizzling or popping signs. Flickering lights can signal a problem too.
It's challenging for a layperson to identify, out of the rows of switches in a breaker, what the real problem is. If you reset your circuits and the breaker trips again, chances are you have a problem that needs to be addressed by a licensed electrician. A circuit breaker is your first line of defence against fire. They're there for your protection so if yours isn't working or if you think you have any kind of problem, get on the phone to an electrician asap.
Whether you've moved to an older home, unit, business or commercial property it's well worth having an electrician come on-site to check everything out. It will give you peace of mind that you, your family and friends—or staff and clients—are safe and sound. It's also good value for money compared to the cost of dealing with a major fire or other electrical problem.
You can install battery-powered smoke alarms, but not hardwired smoke alarms. These must be installed by a licensed electrician. Remember that regulations on smoke detectors change over time so you'll need to be aware of these. A qualified electrician will provide valuable advice on the number and location of smoke detectors, to keep you safe and give you peace of mind.
You'll want to take many factors into account when selecting an electrician for your residence or business. You'll want an electrician who is well educated, qualified, licensed and fully insured. Check experience on their website and online reviews. Ask for references and check these too. Also, ask the electrician how long they've been in business and whether they've handled a job like the one you need to be done.
We used AllPhase Electrical and Solar for both electrical work and solar installation. We found Ben and Nadine to be very helpful, informative and professional. They answered any questions we had without hesitation. We were very satisfied with their service. We highly recommend them and will definitely be using them for any future electrical work.
Adding battery storage to your solar panel system.
In recent years, integrating battery storage with solar panel systems has emerged as a transformative solution for homeowners and businesses looking to maximise their investment in renewable energy. By storing excess energy produced during peak sunlight hours, these batteries provide a reliable power source when sunlight is scarce, such as during the evening or on cloudy days.
This article delves into the benefits, considerations, and steps of adding battery storage to your solar panel setup.

How going solar is good for your business.
In an era where sustainability is increasingly important, businesses worldwide are turning to solar energy as a solution. Going solar contributes to environmental conservation and offers a range of benefits that can significantly enhance business operations and reputation. This article explores the various ways in which adopting solar energy can be advantageous for businesses.
Reduced Operating Costs: Solar panels significantly reduce or even eliminate electricity bills, which can be one of businesses' most significant operating expenses.
How do I know if my switchboard needs to be upgraded?
The first and foremost indication is the age of the switchboard. If your property was built over 25 years ago and the switchboard hasn't been replaced, it likely needs an upgrade. Older switchboards were not designed to handle today's electrical load and might not comply with NSW regulations.
Homes with ceramic fuses need to be updated. Modern circuit breakers and safety switches offer much better protection against electrical faults. If your switchboard still uses ceramic fuses, it's a clear sign to upgrade.
RCD's the lifesaving device every home should have.
In electrical safety, few innovations have had as profound an impact as the Residual Current Device (RCD). A protective measure that's as silent as it is effective, the RCD is a critical component of modern electrical installations. But what exactly is an RCD, and why is it such an essential device in your home? Let's dive in.
An RCD, a safety switch, is an electrical safety device that instantaneously breaks an electric circuit to prevent grave harm from an ongoing electric shock. It continuously monitors the electric current flowing through one or more circuits it protects.
10 most common electrical problems in your home.
Homeowners often face various electrical issues in their homes, and some of these can pose serious risks if left unattended. Awareness of these common problems is crucial to ensure safety and timely intervention. Below, we outline the ten most common electrical issues in homes:
When your circuit breaker frequently trips, it indicates an overloaded circuit. This means the circuit carries more electrical current than it can safely handle. Items like hairdryers, microwaves, and space heaters can overload circuits if operated simultaneously on the same circuit.
