I have a GivEnergy system consisting of two batteries, two inverters and a controlling EMS (Energy Management System) which has not worked since Nov 2025. After six months I discovered Solar Tech Support, reached out to them and Ron phoned me back – how often do you get that service? Could not be more helpful – worked directly with me over the phone, outside what I would call normal working hours. Lucid explanations and we were able to discuss the issues and history using camera and email history. As this was a very rare setup, Ron was able to access an EMS expert in the field to confirm the solution. One sunny day in, I am now only paying for standing charge and a few pence for spikes in grid consumption while battery catches up with house demand.

When my GivEnergy system had an issue, I was completely left without support and had honestly lost all hope. Thankfully, I searched online and found Ron, which completely turned things around. After sending him a message, he responded incredibly fast and called me to assure me that he would get the problem fixed. I really admire his dedicated, supportive nature and his determination to find a solution. With this kind of outstanding attitude and customer service, he has absolutely secured a future customer in me.

Ron want out of is way to help, nothing was to much. He was very thorough in what he did Very knowledgeable I would highly recommend Ron and his company He did a fantastic job for me. if you have any problems, he'll do his best to help you out and resolve your problem. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them

Dennis Brown · May 2026 Trustpilot

Ron took me through a diagnostic to confirm my GivEnergy Inverter had a fault. A common one as it turns out with the AC Inverter. As GivEnergy is defunct there is no immediate fix, aside from sourcing 2nd hand replacement. It may be that a fix becomes available over the summer which would make a lot of GivEnergy customers happy (Again)

Tony Deacon · May 2026 Trustpilot

Contacted Ron with a problem and he sorted it out quickly with no problems at all. Very knowledgeable on anything solar/ batteries. I would recommend him to anyone

Phill · May 2026 Trustpilot

I've spoken to Ron a couple of times with issues with my Givenergy installation. Such a friendly knowledge guy very highly recommended. Thank you very much for resolving my issues

michael fairhurst · May 2026 Trustpilot

Contacted Solar Tech Support in desperation. After explaining the issues I had with my system a diagnosis was made and a solution proposed. Fantastic service, even contacted a manufacturer to arrange replacement parts for me. Great communications, explained all they were doing and what I had to do, clearly and precisly. Followed up to confirm all was ok. Excellent service.

Mr Machin · May 2026 Trustpilot

After GivEnergy went into liquidation, just my luck, my battery started playing up (internal board crashed). Contacted my installer - not interested! Found Solar tech support on a Google search. Sooo glad I found this company! Ron is extremely helpful and has plenty of experience. He soon confirmed what the fault was, and helped me to get my system up and running again. Now moved my GivEnergy account to Solar tech support, and will definitely use again if I have more issues. Unusual to find such a helpful company in these times, no morons reading scripts, just direct contact with the engineer.

Contacted Solar Tech Support when trying to understand what my Givenergy inverter problem might be and what might be my options. Received good/honest advise which backed up my thoughts.

Hugh Speirs · Apr 2026 Trustpilot

Ron is a super star. Two months ago my GivEnergy battery failed a firmware upgrade leaving it a brick. My installer couldn't/wouldn't fix it. GivEnergy couldn't/wouldn't fix it. Then they went into administration and all hope was lost. A flurry of emails later and Ron had diagnosed the fault (failed USB flash drive, something I'd suspected) and talked me through resolving it. Two months of nothing resolved in about 3 hours. It's great to work with someone who pays attention to the details, knows that they're doing (not just following a script) and gets stuff sorted without a fuss or up-charging.

Christopher · Apr 2026 Trustpilot

I can add to the list of customers who had already 'given up' on GivEnergy due to their appalling customer service, and that was before they went into administration (their Trustpilot reviews don't lie!). So you can imagine my desperation when, having changed my ISP and my Inverter, predictably, proving to be the only device that didn't connect automatically to my new network, I found zero prospect of any customer support with GivEnergy having called in the administrators just five days earlier! The salvation came from Solar Tech Support. My IT advisor stumbled across their web site and some very helpful tips for beleaguered GivEnergy customers, as well as an offer to provide direct assistance. Nothing ventured, I decided to drop them an E-Mail, with very low expectations based on my experience of GivEnergy customer support. Within an hour Ron had responded with some pin point advice, and after a few exchanges of E-Mails he had nailed the problem, enabling the combined efforts of my IT advisor and solar installer to resolve it and reconnect my Inverter. Thank you Solar Tech Support, and Ron in particular, for coming to the aid of a deserted and despondent GivEnergy customer. Expert, razor sharp advice and first class customer service, even though I wasn't officially a customer.

This company are a rare gem, I had a very unusual problem following a failed firmware upgrade on my GivEnergy kit. I then found out GivEnergy were in administration and had dismissed all their support staff! None of the usual fixes to try and restore my inverter comms would work, and I looked everywhere, forums, GivEnergy youtube support videos - even AI couldn't figure it out. My installer was talking about huge sums for system replacements, and being vague / evasive about if they'd even install replacement GivEnergy inverter. Enter Solar Tech Support, reassuring and knowledgeable from the very start, I've learnt loads about my solar system though the friendly chat while my engineer worked as he diagnosed the problem and figured out a fix procedure that I've not found anywhere else - amazing . If you need solar system repairs - especially if you like me have been left high and dry by GivEnergy, I cannot recommend this company enough. Give them a call.

Andy Thomas · Apr 2026 Trustpilot

I sent a message on their website regarding a problem I have on my Givenergy system. Although not supplied by Ronald, I thought it was worth an email. Within the hour on a Saturday, he phoned and we discussed the problem. He logged in remotely and gave excellent advice. I'm too far away for his on-site help but he did diagnose the problem and was happy also to chat through my thoughts about an upcoming solar/battery install I'm planning. Great bloke.... if only he was nearer!

Product lineup
Architecture overview

Four product lines, three architectures

GivEnergy's residential range splits cleanly into DC-coupled hybrid inverters (paired with separate GivBat modules), the integrated All-in-One range (battery + inverter in one box), and the standalone EV charger. The Gen 3 8.0kW hybrid is the only model that uses HV stackable batteries — everything else on the hybrid side is LV.

Product 1 — Gen 3 hybrid inverters
Modular hybrid

GivEnergy Gen 3 Hybrid Inverter

The Gen 3 hybrid is GivEnergy's flagship modular DC-coupled inverter. Three output ratings (3.6kW, 5.0kW, 8.0kW), single-phase only. The 3.6 and 5.0 take LV GivBats; the 8.0 is HV-only and uses the stackable kit. All Gen 3 hybrids have in-built WiFi and LAN per the datasheet — no external dongle, no "GivHub".

Key specifications (Gen 3 range)

ModelsGIV-HY-3.6 / 5.0 / 8.0
Output3,600W / 5,000W / 8,000W
Max PV voltage580V (3.6 + 5.0) · 600V (8.0)
Max PV input7,500W (3.6/5.0) · 12,000W (8.0)
EPS backup3.6kW (3.6 + 5.0) · 8kW + 50A pass-through (8.0)
Battery interfaceRS485 (3.6/5.0 LV) · CAN (8.0 HV)
ConnectivityIn-built WiFi + LAN
Warranty (datasheet)12 years

Battery pairing

3.6kW + 5.0kW Gen 3: LV GivBats (51.2V) — GivBat 5.12 Gen 3 or GivBat 9.5 Gen 3. Up to 5 in parallel = 47.5kWh max.
8.0kW Gen 3: HV stackable kit ONLY. GIV-BAT-13.6-HV (4 packs, 307VDC), GIV-BAT-17.0-HV (5 packs, 384VDC) or GIV-BAT-20.4-HV (6 packs, 460VDC). Does not accept 51.2V LV GivBats.
3.6kW pushes 3.6kW max regardless of stack size — a large stack just holds more, it does not charge/discharge faster.
Product 2 — All-in-One range
Integrated

GivEnergy All-in-One

Battery + inverter in a single 173.7kg floor-standing enclosure (181.3kg on the AIO 2 + MPPT). Three models in the residential range — the original AC-coupled 6kW AIO, the AC-coupled 3.6kW AIO, and the hybrid AIO 2 + MPPT with six independent PV trackers.

Model SKU Output Capacity Warranty
AIO (original, AC-coupled) GIV-AIO-AC-13.5 6kW continuous / 7.2kW peak 13.5kWh LiFePO₄ 12 yrs
AIO 3.6 (AC-coupled) GIV-AIO-AC-13.5-3.6 3.6kW on-grid · 6kW continuous off-grid 13.5kWh LiFePO₄ 12 yrs
AIO 2 + MPPT (hybrid) GIV-BAT-13.5-AIO2 (+ GIV-MPP-20.0-G1) 6/8/10/11/12kW configurable · 12kVA off-grid 13.5kWh LiFePO₄ + up to 2 expansion 15 yrs (datasheet)
AIO 2 expansion battery GIV-BAT-13.5-AIO2-E 13.5kWh · 307.2V 15 yrs
Product 3 — GivBat batteries
Storage modules

GivBat LV battery modules + HV stackable kits

LV GivBats (51.2V) connect to LV hybrids over the proprietary plug/lug DC+comms cable — RS485 with dip-switch master/slave addressing, NOT CAN/RJ45/terminator. HV stackable kits are a separate architecture for the Gen 3 8.0kW (CAN, 307–460VDC depending on kit size).

LV GivBat range — datasheet specs

Model SKU Capacity DoD Warranty
GivBat 2.6 Gen 1GIV-BAT-2.62.6 kWh80%12 yrs
GivBat 5.2 Gen 1GIV-BAT-5.25.2 kWh80%12 yrs

GivBat 9.5 Gen 3GIV-BAT-9.5-G39.5 kWh100%Unlimited cycles / 12 yrs

All LV GivBats: 51.2V nominal · LiFePO₄ · IP65. No "GivBat 10.2" — that model does not exist in the GivEnergy datasheets. Gen 1 2.6 and 5.2 are 80% DoD per datasheet; everything else is 100% DoD.

HV stackable kits (for the Gen 3 8.0 only)

Kit SKU Capacity Voltage Weight
4-pack HV stackGIV-BAT-13.6-HV13.6 kWh307VDC155.3 kg
5-pack HV stackGIV-BAT-17.0-HV17.0 kWh384VDC190.8 kg
6-pack HV stackGIV-BAT-20.4-HV20.4 kWh460VDC226.3 kg

HV stack uses CAN over RJ45 — the architecture where a 120-ohm terminator does exist (unlike LV). Comms uses the orange HV-kit connector. Per the stackable batteries manual, minimum 3 packs and maximum 6 in a single stack; commercial systems can parallel multiple stacks.

Product 4 — EV charger
EV charging

GivEnergy EV Charger (GIV-EV-7.2)

7kW at 32A · IEC 62196-2 Type 2 tethered cable · 230V single-phase input. Four configuration modes for standalone, third-party-PV CT meter, and integration with a GivEnergy inverter. Built-in Type B RCD per datasheet. 3-year manufacturer warranty (datasheet).

Decision guide
Choosing

Which GivEnergy product line fits your situation

Choose Gen 3 hybrid + GivBat if…
You want to start small and add capacity later
You want the flexibility to mix battery sizes / generations
Roof PV is up to 7.5kW (3.6/5.0) or up to 12kW (8.0)
You want clean wall installs with the inverter separate
Choose AIO range if…
You want one wall unit not two — simpler aesthetics, fewer cable runs
You already have a PV inverter and want AC-coupled retrofit (original AIO / AIO 3.6)
You want six independent PV trackers for a complex roof (AIO 2 + MPPT)
You like a 15-year datasheet warranty on AIO 2 + MPPT (post-admin caveats still apply)
General guidance only — the right product for any property depends on roof, panel output, grid connection, existing wiring, and energy use. A proper system design from an MCS-accredited installer should precede any purchase. With GivEnergy Ltd in administration, the "GivEnergy approved installer" badge is no longer the relevant credential — MCS accreditation is what protects you under Consumer Code, IBG, and Section 75 routes.
FAQ

GivEnergy product questions

The All-in-One (AIO) is an AC-coupled or DC-coupled wall unit with the inverter and a 13.5kWh LiFePO₄ battery integrated into one enclosure. The Gen 3 hybrid is a DC-coupled inverter on its own — it pairs with external GivBat modules. AIO suits retrofit jobs and single-unit installs; Gen 3 + GivBat suits homes that want to start small and add batteries later. None of the Gen 3 hybrids are an AIO and vice versa — they are different product lines.
AIO 2 + MPPT supports up to two GIV-BAT-13.5-AIO2-E expansion batteries (HV, 307VDC, 15-year warranty per datasheet) — so total capacity grows in 13.5kWh blocks. The original AC-coupled AIO and the AIO 3.6 are 13.5kWh integrated units; additional storage there is normally added by a separate Giv-Bat-on-hybrid system rather than expanding the AIO itself.
Yes. The inverter supports timed charge windows directly, and several smart tariffs (Octopus Intelligent Go, Agile, Flux) integrate via the GivEnergy cloud API. Note: from May 2026 the cloud runs under GivEnergy Software Ltd on a paid subscription model — that affects what API access costs. For owners who would rather not depend on a paid cloud, Sentinel (free local-first monitoring) and Predbat (agile-tariff in-home display) cover the same ground locally.
Per the datasheets: Gen 1, Gen 2 and Gen 3 hybrid inverters all carry 12-year manufacturer warranties. GivBat 2.6, 5.2, 8.2, 9.5 Gen 2, 9.5 Gen 3 and 5.12 Gen 3 are all 12 years (the 9.5 Gen 2 and 9.5 Gen 3 also state "unlimited cycles"). AIO 2 + MPPT and its expansion battery are 15 years. EV Charger is 3 years. However: GivEnergy Ltd entered administration on 9 April 2026 and the administrator has confirmed no further hardware warranties will be honoured by GivEnergy Ltd. Alternative recovery routes are installer cover, IBG, Section 75, MCS Consumer Code, and Consumer Rights Act 2015. See our warranty page.
No. The GIV-EV-7.2 (7kW at 32A, Type 2 tethered, IEC 62196-2) can run as a standalone grid charger, alongside a third-party solar system in CT-Meter mode, or fully integrated with a GivEnergy inverter via Inverter Control Cloud or Local. The configuration mode is set at commissioning. See the dedicated EV charger page for the four modes in detail.
Older installs are usually a Gen 1 or Gen 2 hybrid inverter plus a Gen 1 GivBat (2.6, 5.2 or 8.2). The Gen 3 hybrid and GivBat 9.5/5.12 Gen 3 came later. Look at the label for the SKU prefix — hybrids are GIV-HY-* and batteries are GIV-BAT-*. STS can identify any GivEnergy install from a clear photo of the inverter label.
