Honest comparison for solar and battery homes

1app.energy vs SigEnergy: monitoring in the wider home view

Use mySigen for SigEnergy setup, native settings and manufacturer controls. Use the 1app.energy beta to understand SigEnergy readings beside EV demand, the tariff and daily household cost.

Read the quick answer Start onboarding

1app.energy dashboard showing supported solar, battery, EV, grid, tariff and daily cost data — The 1app.energy view depends on connected devices, available measurements and the selected date.

1app.energy mobile dashboard showing whole-home energy flow — The 1app.energy view depends on connected devices, available measurements and the selected date.

The quick answer

Use both, but give each app the right job.

Keep mySigen for SigEnergy setup, SigenStor settings, alarms, native automation and manufacturer support. Use 1app.energy for a joined-up daily monitoring view of supported SigEnergy solar, battery, grid and home-demand data beside tariff and EV context. SigEnergy Smart Control is not available in 1app.energy yet, so battery charge, discharge, export and hold commands stay with SigEnergy.

Choose by task

Where each app earns its place

Best for

Use mySigen for

System setup and owner management

mySigen and the SigEnergy account remain the direct route for binding the system, managing the native account and using SigEnergy-specific setup features.

Native settings and automation

Use SigEnergy tools for SigenStor settings, native strategy choices, battery modes and device-specific behaviour available to the account.

Manufacturer diagnostics and support

SigEnergy remains the primary place for product alarms, firmware, warranty support and manufacturer-specific service workflows.

Best for

Use 1app.energy for

SigEnergy readings in home context

Place supported SigEnergy solar, battery, grid, state-of-charge and home-demand readings beside tariff and EV charging context.

Daily outcomes, not isolated readings

Review import cost, standing charge, export credit, net daily cost and estimated energy destinations when connected measurements support it.

Monitoring without battery commands

Give the home a clearer monitoring view while SigEnergy battery command features stay unavailable in 1app.energy until separate proof and safety review are complete.

Capability by capability

A comparison without false checkmarks

The useful question is not which app has more features. It is which app is better suited to the job in front of you.

What you need to do	mySigen	1app.energy
System setup and binding	Primary route for adding the SigEnergy system, account ownership, native app setup and manufacturer-specific configuration.	Not a commissioning tool. Connect after the supported SigEnergy system is active and the selected system can be verified for monitoring.
Native settings and strategies	Use mySigen and SigEnergy tools for available system strategies, device settings, alarms and manufacturer workflows.	Standard SigEnergy onboarding is monitoring-only. Use SigEnergy for settings, schedules and battery commands.
Live solar, battery and grid monitoring	Native SigEnergy monitoring for the devices and measurements available in the SigEnergy account.	Supported SigEnergy readings in the same view as other connected devices, tariff data and daily cost context.
Daily financial context	SigEnergy focuses on the system and native energy-management experience.	Import cost, standing charge, export credit and net daily cost using the available home and tariff data.
EV and tariff context	The SigEnergy system remains the centre of the native experience.	Supported EV charging and tariff timing can sit beside SigEnergy solar, battery and grid results.
Battery control	Use SigEnergy for battery modes, system strategies and native command features available to the account.	SigEnergy Smart Control is not enabled in this 1app.energy monitoring rollout. Charge, discharge, export and hold commands stay off.

System setup and binding

mySigen: Primary route for adding the SigEnergy system, account ownership, native app setup and manufacturer-specific configuration.
1app.energy: Not a commissioning tool. Connect after the supported SigEnergy system is active and the selected system can be verified for monitoring.

Native settings and strategies

mySigen: Use mySigen and SigEnergy tools for available system strategies, device settings, alarms and manufacturer workflows.
1app.energy: Standard SigEnergy onboarding is monitoring-only. Use SigEnergy for settings, schedules and battery commands.

Live solar, battery and grid monitoring

mySigen: Native SigEnergy monitoring for the devices and measurements available in the SigEnergy account.
1app.energy: Supported SigEnergy readings in the same view as other connected devices, tariff data and daily cost context.

Daily financial context

mySigen: SigEnergy focuses on the system and native energy-management experience.
1app.energy: Import cost, standing charge, export credit and net daily cost using the available home and tariff data.

EV and tariff context

mySigen: The SigEnergy system remains the centre of the native experience.
1app.energy: Supported EV charging and tariff timing can sit beside SigEnergy solar, battery and grid results.

Battery control

mySigen: Use SigEnergy for battery modes, system strategies and native command features available to the account.
1app.energy: SigEnergy Smart Control is not enabled in this 1app.energy monitoring rollout. Charge, discharge, export and hold commands stay off.

Real decisions

Which app should you open?

You need to change a SigEnergy battery strategy

Open mySigen or the relevant SigEnergy tool. Standard 1app.energy SigEnergy onboarding is monitoring-only and does not change battery settings.

You want to understand yesterday's home energy result

Open 1app.energy to compare supported SigEnergy readings with grid movement, tariff pricing, EV context and daily cost.

You are waiting for full Smart Control

Keep using SigEnergy for native controls. 1app.energy can provide monitoring first while battery commands wait for separate command, readback and safety proof.

What to know first

Honest limits matter

Compatibility, data quality and control readiness depend on the equipment and account connected to the home.

SigEnergy support is currently monitoring-only beta through standard 1app.energy onboarding.
Available readings depend on SigEnergy account access, selected system, provider API availability and fresh monitoring data.
SigEnergy Smart Control, battery charge, discharge, export and hold are not available in this 1app.energy rollout.
Keep mySigen and SigEnergy tools for setup, firmware, diagnostics, warranty support, native automation and manufacturer-specific settings.

Common questions

Straight answers before you choose

Does 1app.energy replace mySigen?

No. Keep mySigen for setup, native settings, alarms, firmware, diagnostics and manufacturer support. 1app.energy adds a wider monitoring and tariff view.

Can 1app.energy control a SigEnergy battery?

Not yet. SigEnergy is monitoring-only in the current 1app.energy rollout, so charge, discharge, export and hold commands are not sent by 1app.energy.

What does 1app.energy add for a SigEnergy home?

It can place supported SigEnergy solar, battery, grid, state-of-charge and home-demand readings beside tariff, EV and daily financial context.

Is every SigEnergy system supported?

No. Compatibility depends on the SigEnergy account, selected system, available API readings and onboarding verification for the home.
