For Sigenergy system owners
SigBuddy sits on a shelf and shows what your system is doing this second — what the sun is making, what the house is drawing, where the battery is at. You stop unlocking your phone to find out.
Reads your Sigenergy system directly over your own wifi. No cloud account, no subscription, nothing leaving the house.
SigBuddy talks to your Sigenergy system over your own wifi, using the Modbus connection built into it. Your production figures never leave the house, and the display keeps working when the internet doesn't.
Got a Sigenergy EV charger? Your car gets its own spot on the screen, with how much power it's drawing and when it's charging, right next to the house. A DC charger adds the car's own battery level.
If there's a power cut and your system switches to backup, the grid figure drops to zero and a flashing OFF GRID appears under it, easy to spot from across the room. When the grid is back it goes back to showing import and export.
No battery? No grid? Say so during setup and that leg disappears from the diagram entirely. You get a display drawn for the system you own, not one with a dead corner.
Software updates can be loaded locally and the units upgraded later to take advantage of any new features.
No app to install, no account to make, no password to reset in two years. It's plug and play and fully self contained.
Three sizes
The 2.8-inch is for close range — a desk, a kitchen bench, the shelf by the door. The 4.3-inch reads across a room, and the 5-inch reads across a bigger one. Both of the larger two use an IPS panel — a clearer picture, and it stays readable from off to the side, so you are not stuck standing square on to it. All three show the same figures and follow a similar quick setup process.
—
320 × 240, in a printed case and stand. A good entry level model to place on a desk.
—
800 × 480 on an IPS panel — nearly four times the pixels of the 2.8-inch, and it holds its picture from off to the side rather than washing out. Touchscreen, so setup and settings happen on the display itself.
—
Premium 800 × 480 IPS touchscreen, on a bigger piece of glass and just as readable from an angle. The one to pick for a larger space.
New in firmware 4.0.0, every SigBuddy
If your car charges from a Sigenergy charger, it gets its own place on the screen: above the house, with the car's power as the big figure and what it's doing underneath.
Displays already out there can be upgraded anytime. Most can do it themselves: open the display's update page and it offers 4.0.0. If yours doesn't, just reach out. All new displays ship with this version. Tell the display which charger you have in its settings, or on the 2.8-inch, during setup or on its web page. Nothing on the charger needs changing. With other brands of charger, the car's draw is counted in the house figure.

My order arrived overnight thanks. It took me longer to walk to the letterbox than it did to set up the display… too easy!! 😄
My wife is rapt. She doesn’t carry her phone around 24/7 and gets tired of me telling her to check the solar.
Exactly as advertised — simple, effective, and it just works. 👍 That’s an easy 5/5 stars from me.
Thanks for the solar display. It is so simple but useful.
It’s excellent! Hope you sell plenty as it’s a great value for the price and a fabulous piece of kit!
