EV Charger Installation Canberra

SunBuilt Solar is a certified Sigenergy installer based in Canberra, supplying and installing the Sigen EV AC Charger across the ACT and surrounding region — Tuggeranong, Belconnen, Gungahlin, Woden, Weston Creek, Inner North, Inner South and Queanbeyan included.

The Sigen EV AC Charger is a smart, solar-aware home EV charger that talks directly to your solar inverter and battery. Rather than pulling whatever's available off the grid, it can be configured to prioritise free rooftop solar, draw from off-peak tariffs, or top up from your SigenStor battery when the sun's not playing along — so the cheapest, greenest electrons charge your car first.

As a NETCC-approved retailer with CEC-accredited electricians, we handle the full job: site assessment, switchboard and cable run review, Evoenergy notification, install, commissioning and ongoing support — all by the same Canberra team.

Why Canberra EV owners choose Sigen EV AC Charger

  • Solar-priority charging: when paired with a Sigenergy inverter or SigenStor, the charger pulls from rooftop solar surplus first — your daytime production goes straight into the car instead of being exported.
  • Scheduled and off-peak charging: set time-of-use windows from the mySigen app so the charger only runs during low-rate periods — useful on ACT time-of-use plans.
  • Three power options: 7 kW, 11 kW and 22 kW models — we'll match the right one to your supply (single- vs three-phase) and your daily driving range.
  • Dynamic load management: the charger automatically scales down its draw if the rest of the house is using power, preventing main-fuse trips during peak evening loads.
  • Outdoor-rated for Canberra weather: IP65 enclosure, IK10 impact-rated glass and a wide operating temperature range — comfortably handles ACT frosts and summer heat.
  • One app, one ecosystem: the same mySigen app that monitors your solar and battery also controls EV charging — no juggling three different brand apps.

Key features of the Sigen EV AC Charger

1

Up to 22 kW Type 2 charging

Standard Type 2 connector (the AS/NZS standard in Australia). 7 kW for single-phase homes, up to 22 kW for three-phase installs.

2

Smart charging modes

Fast charge, solar-surplus charge, battery-boost charge and tariff-aware AI mode — pick the right one for the trip ahead.

3

Dynamic load management

Reads household load in real time (with the optional Sigen Power Sensor) and dials the charger up or down to stay within your main fuse limit.

4

Quick wall-mount install

Click-in mounting and rear, top or bottom cable entry — a clean, tidy install on a brick wall, garage stud or carport post.

Four ways the Sigen EV AC Charger fills your car

Match the mode to the moment — cheapest grid hour, free rooftop solar, fastest possible top-up, or a boost from your SigenStor battery. Switch between them from the mySigen app on your phone.

Sigen AI Mode

Tariff-aware charging that watches your ACT time-of-use plan and only draws grid power when it's cheap. Pauses when prices peak, prioritises rooftop solar surplus, and quietly tops the car up overnight — set it once and forget it.

Cheapest electrons first

Fast Charging

When you need range fast, the charger pulls a full 22 kW (on three-phase) by blending solar, grid and SigenStor battery output. Useful before a Snowys, South Coast or Sydney run when there's no time to wait for the sun.

Up to 22 kW

PV Surplus Charging

The charger only runs on solar your roof is about to export — so daytime production charges the car instead of feeding back at low FiT rates. Set whether the EV, the battery or the home gets first dibs on surplus PV.

Solar-only charging

Battery Boost Charging

Top the car up at full speed using stored SigenStor battery energy after dark — perfect for late returns home. Set a cut-off SOC (10–90%) so the battery still has enough headroom for the morning's house loads.

Day or night

The Sigenergy EV range we install

One platform, three models

SunBuilt Solar installs Sigenergy EV chargers exclusively. Sticking to a single ecosystem means the charger, your solar inverter, your battery and the monitoring app are all speaking the same language — so solar-priority charging, load balancing and scheduled charging actually work the way the spec sheet says they will.

The right model depends on your supply (single- vs three-phase) and how far you typically drive each day. We'll talk you through it during the quote.

Sigen EV AC Charger 7 kW — single-phase Type 2 home charger. Ideal for most Canberra homes on standard single-phase supply.

The ACT also offers strong support for EV owners: zero-emission vehicle stamp duty exemptions, the Sustainable Household Scheme zero-interest loan for energy upgrades, and time-of-use electricity plans that reward off-peak charging. Talk to our Canberra team about pairing a Sigen EV AC Charger with your existing solar — or as part of a full SigenStor system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a Sigen EV charger work with my existing solar inverter in Canberra?

Yes, the charger works as a standalone unit on any Australian solar setup — it'll still charge from grid-tied solar surplus via a power sensor. You unlock the full feature set (priority adjustment, battery boost, AI tariff mode) when it's paired with a Sigenergy inverter or SigenStor. We'll assess your existing system during the quote and tell you exactly what works and what doesn't.
