When it comes to home batteries, the Tesla Powerwall 3 is often the first name that comes to mind. It's sleek, smart, and comes from a well-known brand. But it’s not the only option—and for some homeowners, it may not be the right fit.
At Your Energy Your Way, we speak to many people who love the idea of battery storage and want to align their purchase to their values and needs. Whether it’s down to features, or simply wanting more choice, we're here to show you that there are great solutions out there.
Why You Might Want an Alternative to Tesla
Tesla has certainly raised the profile of home batteries - but it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution.
You might be considering a Tesla alternative if:
You prefer different companies or technologies
You want more flexibility in how much storage you install
You want a solution that grows with your needs over time
You want more solar inputs or access to some cutting edge tech
If any of those sound familiar, let us introduce you to a strong alternative: the Sigenergy SigenStor.

Meet the SigenStor – Flexible, Future-Ready Energy
The Sigenergy SigenStor is a modern, modular battery system that gives you options - so you can tailor your home energy setup to your lifestyle and goals.
Here’s how it helps solve some common homeowner concerns:
“I don’t want to overpay for capacity I don’t need.”
With SigenStor, you can start small (5 or 8 kWh) and add more later - up to 48 kWh per stack. That means you only pay for what you need now, and scale up if your energy use grows.
“I want backup power if there’s a power cut.”
SigenStor offers optional backup solutions, so your lights and appliances can stay on during outages. You can even integrate a generator for extra peace of mind.
“Can it work with my electric car?”
Yes! The SigenStor is EV-ready, with the ability to send power from your car back to your home (V2H) or even the grid (V2G), depending on your setup. That’s something Tesla’s Powerwall doesn’t currently offer.
“I want something safe and reliable.”
Safety is a top priority. The SigenStor comes with advanced protections, including multiple safety layers and even an onboard fire extinguisher - designed with your home in mind.
