Why should I choose a GivEnergy approved installer?

Choosing a GivEnergy approved installer like Naked Solar brings you peace of mind you’re in the hands of industry experts who’ve undergone detailed installation training from GivEnergy themselves.

The coveted approved installer is a symbol of trust:

  • Before: Ensure you get maximium value, using in-depth knowledge to identify the most suitable GivEnergy products for your needs.
  • During: Carry out an installation of the highest quality, adhering to best practices and safety standards.
  • After: Provide responsive aftercare upon completion to ensure you continue to get the most out of your system.
Can GivEnergy Solar batteries be installed outside?

Yes, as long as you have a cover over it.  GivEnergy equipment is IP65 rated, meaning it’s OK to be sited outdoors.  It must be installed out of direct sunlight and should also have a cover or canopy to keep the worst of the rain off of it.  Bear in mind that Lithium batteries perform best around room temperature so you’ll also see a drop off in performance and efficiency on colder days.

Can you connect Solar PV to the GivEnergy All in One?

No, the GivEnergy All In One is an AC coupled battery, meaning it’s designed to be installed in a property that already has Solar PV fitted.  The All In One can be installed without solar if you want to power your home on off-peak electric or take advantage of Grid Trading.

You can find out the differences between AC coupled V DC coupled systems on our “6 Watts? of Solar Storage” page.

Can I increase my GivEnergy storage capacity at a later date?

GivEnergy products can have further battery modules added to them after the initial installation.  Bear in mind that things move quickly in our industry so as newer products replace existing ones, the modules to expand your system may have ceased production.
