What is a home energy management system?
A home energy management system (HEMS) is a smart technology that helps homeowners monitor and control energy use from sources like solar panels, batteries, and electric vehicles. Systems like Sigenergy, formerly PointGuard Home, optimize energy use, lower utility bills, and increase energy independence.
Sigenergy Is an Energy Management System That Will Transform How You Power Your Home
For Vancouver homeowners feeling the squeeze of rising energy costs or simply trying to live more sustainably, adding energy efficiency and flexibility to your home is invaluable. A home energy management system can help homeowners take greater control over their power usage, enjoy greater energy independence, reduce costs, and help build greater resilience within the power grid.
Our team at TCA Electric is thrilled to announce that we’re now a certified installer for Sigenergy, formerly PointGuard Home, a cutting-edge energy management system enabling Vancouver residents to take greater control over their power usage right from home.
More than just a battery or inverter, Sigenergy is a fully integrated, intelligent energy ecosystem that empowers homeowners to optimize their energy use, support the grid, and live more sustainably. Here’s how you can benefit from Sigenergy.
What Is Sigenergy?
Sigenergy’s SigenStor is an all-in-one, modular home energy management system designed to simplify and optimize how homeowners generate, store, and use power. This 5-in-1 solution combines five core energy technologies into a single, unified platform:
- Hybrid Inverter (Sigen Energy Controller): Converts solar energy into usable electricity for your home and enables grid export.
- Battery Pack: Scalable lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries that store excess solar energy—expandable from 5.4 kWh to 39 kWh based on your energy needs.
- Battery PCS (Power Conversion System): Controls and balances energy flows between your solar panels, home, battery, and the grid.
- EV DC Charger (Sigen EV Charger): Built-in fast charging for your electric vehicle with optional bi-directional V2X support (V2H, V2G, and V2X-ready).
- EMS (Energy Management System): Uses AI and real-time data to manage and optimize energy usage across all connected devices for maximum efficiency and savings.
Together, these components form a seamless smart energy ecosystem—helping Vancouver homeowners reduce grid dependence, improve energy reliability, and unlock powerful features like vehicle-to-grid (V2G) energy sharing.
Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) Technology
For prospective and current EV owners, one of the most exciting features of the Sigenergy system is its Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology. This technology enables a plugged-in EV to not only draw power from the grid, but also to send power back into it.
With the Sigenergy, this dynamic charging capability enables multiple functionalities; V2G enables an EV to send excess power back to the grid
- V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid): Send excess EV battery power to the grid and potentially earn credits or income from your utility provider
- V2H (Vehicle-to-Home): Use your EV as a power source for your home during outages or peak hours, serving as a battery backup for your home
- V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything): Combines solar, battery, and EV charging into a full bi-directional energy system
Popular Use Cases:
- EV + Battery = extended outage protection
- Solar + EV = charge your car with sunshine
- Solar + EV + Battery = maximize energy independence and resilience
Sigenergy features a V2X module that is bi-directional, enabling some truly futuristic-sounding capabilities. Consider these use cases:
- V2G Only: Selling excess EV battery power back to the grid for credits/revenue.
- V2G + Battery Backup: EV and home battery backup working together for extended outage protection.
- V2G + Solar: Charge your EV directly from solar, then use that stored power to run your home or sell it back to the grid.
V2G + Battery + Solar: The ultimate integrated solution for maximum independence and resilience.
EV owners have long enjoyed greater independence as drivers, freeing themselves from needing to purchase gasoline. Now, an electric vehicle paired with a home energy management system can be the key to near-total energy independence, netting EV owners lower energy bills, greater self-reliance, and even a potential revenue stream—all while supporting the grid and contributing to a cleaner energy future.
Is Sigenergy Right for You?
Vancouver homeowners who are also EV owners, have solar panels, worry about power outages, or simply want to reduce electricity bills, should strongly consider installing the Sigenergy.
Sigenergy tackles common energy frustrations by putting you in control—providing backup during outages, cutting utility costs, and allowing you to live off solar and EV power when needed.
