EV charger installation Townsville

Sigenergy EV chargers

Sigenergy offers both an AC wallbox and a bidirectional DC charging module, making them the most capable EV charging option in our range. The AC charger suits any home with an EV. The DC module is for SigenStor owners who want to charge faster and unlock Vehicle-to-Home and Vehicle-to-Grid capability.

Sigenergy AC EV charger

The AC wallbox — smart solar charging for any EV owner

The Sigenergy AC wallbox is a smart home EV charger that works with any electric vehicle and integrates directly with the Sigenergy SigenStor ecosystem. It charges using AC power, which means your car’s onboard charger handles the power conversion. For most households this is the practical daily charging solution, particularly when paired with solar.

7kW single phase or up to 22kW three phase

Available in single-phase 7kW for standard homes or three-phase options up to 22kW for faster charging. The right configuration depends on your home’s electrical supply and how quickly you want to charge.

Solar surplus charging

When paired with a SigenStor system, the charger detects available solar surplus and adjusts its charge rate to match. Rather than sending excess solar to the grid at a low feed-in rate, it redirects that energy into your car.

Multiple charging modes

Choose between solar-only charging, solar and battery combined, or fast charging using all available energy sources. Schedule charging during off-peak tariff windows through the Sigenergy app.

Dynamic load management

Dynamic load management monitors your home’s total power draw and adjusts the charger output to prevent tripping the main breaker. Other appliances running at the same time as the charger does not create a problem.

Compatible with all EV brands

The AC wallbox uses a standard Type 2 connector and works with all electric vehicles sold in Australia. You do not need a Sigenergy battery system to use the AC charger, though integration with SigenStor unlocks the solar charging features.

Sigenergy DC EV charger

The DC module — fast bidirectional charging for SigenStor owners

The DC charging module is a different class of product to the AC wallbox. It converts power before it reaches your vehicle, delivering electricity directly to your car’s battery rather than relying on the car’s onboard charger to do the conversion. The result is significantly faster charging and, uniquely, the ability to run power in reverse — from your EV back to your home or back to the grid. The DC module must be part of a SigenStor system. It cannot be installed as a standalone product.

12.5kW or 25kW output

Available in a 12.5kW and a 25kW module. The 25kW module can add roughly 150km of range per hour of charging, which is significantly faster than any AC charger in a residential setting.

Vehicle-to-Home (V2H)

With a compatible EV, your car battery can power your home during a grid outage. In Townsville where cyclone events can knock out the grid, a large EV battery paired with V2H capability provides meaningful backup power.

Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)

Export stored energy from your EV battery back to the grid through Virtual Power Plant programs. V2G capability means your car becomes an active part of your home energy system, not just a vehicle that needs charging.

CCS2 connector

Uses the CCS2 Combined Charging System connector standard, which is found on most modern electric vehicles in Australia. A 10-metre cable gives practical reach in most garage and driveway configurations.

IP66 rated

IP66 rated for full dust and water protection. Suitable for outdoor installation in North Queensland’s tropical climate, including carport and driveway locations exposed to heavy seasonal rain.

Requires SigenStor system

The DC module connects downstream of the SigenStor energy controller and cannot be installed as a standalone charger. It is an add-on for existing or new SigenStor installations, not a standalone product.

Who each option suits

Which Sigenergy charger suits your situation

The right Sigenergy charger depends on whether you have or plan to install a SigenStor system, and how important charging speed and bidirectional capability are to your situation. Both options are available through True North Solar.

AC wallbox: best for any EV owner wanting smart solar charging

Works with any EV. Does not require a SigenStor system to operate, though solar integration is tightest when paired with one. The practical, cost-effective choice for most EV owners who want to charge from solar without paying for DC charging capability they do not need.

DC module: best for SigenStor owners wanting maximum speed and V2H

Requires a SigenStor system. Delivers significantly faster charging than AC and enables V2H and V2G with compatible EVs. The right choice for SigenStor owners who drive an EV that supports bidirectional charging and want to use their car as part of their home energy system. V2H compatibility is currently limited to select EV models — ask us about your specific vehicle before committing.

Installing solar, battery and EV charger together

For homeowners planning a full solar, battery and EV charging setup from the start, a SigenStor with either the AC or DC charger module creates a fully integrated system managed through a single app. This is the most capable residential energy setup we install.

Why it makes sense here

Charging your EV from solar in Townsville

Townsville’s 320 sunny days a year mean most solar systems generate a meaningful surplus during the day that currently gets exported to the grid at the feed-in tariff rate. An EV charger that integrates with your solar system redirects that surplus into your car instead. The economics are straightforward: charging from solar you have already generated costs significantly less than charging from the grid.

Charge from surplus solar instead of exporting it

Solar you use yourself is worth significantly more than solar you export at the current feed-in tariff rate. An EV is one of the most effective ways to consume more of your own generation.

Backup power during outages

With the DC module and a compatible EV, your car battery can power your home during a grid outage. A fully charged EV battery holds significantly more energy than most home battery systems.

One system, fully managed

Solar generation, battery storage and EV charging all managed through the Sigenergy app. You can set priorities, schedules and charging modes from your phone and see exactly how energy is flowing across your whole system.

Important to know

A note on V2H and V2G compatibility

Vehicle-to-Home and Vehicle-to-Grid capability through the Sigenergy DC module is available in Australia, but it requires your electric vehicle to support bidirectional charging via the CCS2 standard. As of 2025, compatibility has been confirmed with a limited number of EV models in Australia including the Volvo C40, BYD Atto 3 and Ford F-150 Lightning.

If your EV is not on the confirmed compatibility list, V2H and V2G will not be available to you even with the DC module installed. The DC module will still function as a fast DC charger for supported vehicles, but the bidirectional features require specific vehicle hardware.

Before committing to a DC module installation specifically for V2H or V2G, speak to us about your vehicle. We will confirm compatibility before we quote.
