This article provides a complete installation, safety, configuration, and maintenance summary
for the GivEnergy All in One 2 (AIO2), including the MPPT Unit, Gateway 2, and Expansion
Battery. It condenses all key information from the official manual into an installer-focused
reference suitable for field use.
System Overview
The All in One 2 is a fully integrated AC-coupled energy storage system consisting of:
- AIO2 inverter with built-in 13.5 kWh LFP battery
- MPPT Unit (6-channel PV input)
- Gateway 2 for multi-load control and backup
- Optional expansion batteries (up to 2 additional units)
The system supports flexible on-grid, off-grid, and hybrid operation with generator control,
EV charger integration, and smart load functionality.
Key Features
- 13.5 kWh internal battery with scalable storage
- Supports up to 6 PV strings via MPPT module
- Full home backup when paired with Gateway 2
- Supports generators with remote start
- Built-in WiFi, BLE, and 4G connectivity
- Modular terminals for easier installation
- Supports ECO, TOU, off-grid, and islanding modes
Safety Requirements
- Only qualified installers may install or maintain the system.
- The AIO2 contains high-voltage components and presents electrical shock risk.
- Do not work on the system during rain, snow, lightning, or high winds.
- The unit must be grounded before any other connection is made.
- Never connect the MPPT Unit to wind or hydro systems—PV only.
- Do not open the casing; no user-serviceable parts are inside.
System Components
- AIO2: Integrated inverter + battery, AC terminal block, battery breaker, communication ports.
- MPPT Unit: 6 independent PV channels, 600 V max input.
- Gateway 2: Critical, smart, and general load management, generator input, EV charger input.
- Expansion Battery: 260–346 VDC, 13.5 kWh variant available.
Operating Modes
- Standby Mode: Powered but not actively working.
- On-Grid Mode: Normal operation, supports grid + solar + battery.
- Off-Grid Mode: Powers loads without the grid using battery and PV.
- Fault Mode: System halts to protect hardware and displays an error.
Main Work Modes
Daytime Mode
- Supplies power to local loads first.
- Charges battery with surplus solar.
- Exports excess energy to the grid.
Night-Time Mode
- Battery supplies loads to reduce peak pricing.
- Optional off-peak charging if allowed by tariff.
- Generator support if grid is unavailable.
Island Mode
During a grid outage, the system automatically switches to off-grid supply. The Gateway 2
manages critical and general loads based on battery SOC.
Demand Response Mode
Supports remote control by a grid services provider (optional integration).
Installation Requirements
Installation Steps — AIO2 & MPPT
- Mark drill holes using mounting bracket template.
- Drill to 75 mm depth and fix expansion bolts.
- Remove battery pack from packaging.
- Mount AIO2 on bracket; adjust support feet to level.
- Insert internal battery module and secure front cover.
- Place MPPT Unit on top and secure with screws.
Installation Steps — Gateway 2
- Mark wall, drill mounting holes, and secure bracket.
- Hang Gateway 2 and fasten screws.
- Maintain clearance for cooling.
Electrical Connections
AIO2 AC Connection
- Use minimum 10 mm² cable for AC output.
- Strip 12 mm and connect via waterproof gland to AC WAGO block.
MPPT PV Connection
- Use 4–6 mm² PV cable depending on run length.
- Max PV voltage: 600 V.
- PV input uses MC4 connectors — do not mix types.
Gateway 2 AC Connections
- Generator: Connect via suitable over-current protection (max 32 A).
- PV Inverter: Connect to designated WAGO via OCPD.
- Parallel Input: Up to 3× AIO2 systems supported.
- Critical Load: Max 32 A via suitable breaker.
- Smart Load: Enabled when export >1 kW.
- EV Charger: Feed via 40 A Type A RCD, 6 mm² cable.
- General Load: Typically 16–25 mm², via suitable breaker.
Communication Connections
The system uses multiple ports depending on configuration:
- RS485 for meters
- Gateway-to-AIO2 LAN
- USB port for firmware
- 4G / WiFi antennas
- DRM input (Australia)
Wireless Connectivity
The inverter includes built-in WiFi, BLE, and 4G. Default setup uses 4G, with WiFi configured
during commissioning.
System Commissioning
Pre-Commissioning Checks
- Verify all AC/DC connections are secure and correctly polarised.
- Check correct earthing on all components.
- Ensure PV strings fall within Voc/ISC limits.
- Ensure Gateway 2 wiring matches load design.
Startup Procedure
- Switch on AC breaker.
- Turn on both PV DC switches (MPPT channels 1–3 and 4–6).
- Turn on battery breakers (AIO2 + expansions).
- Inverter starts automatically when PV > 80 V and battery > 254 V.
Shutdown Procedure
- Open AC breaker.
- Turn off battery breakers.
- Turn off PV switches.
- Wait until LEDs go out (up to 5 minutes).
Maintenance
- Clean external surfaces using a dry or slightly damp cloth.
- Inspect heat sink and fan regularly.
- Cycle DC isolator annually to clean contacts.
- Ensure adequate airflow and clear dust/debris.
Troubleshooting
The manual includes a comprehensive fault list. Common issues include:
- Grid voltage/frequency faults: Check supply and grid code.
- PV isolation faults: Check grounding and humidity conditions.
- Battery communication faults: Verify BMS cable and connector seating.
- Meter comms loss: Check RS485 polarity and cable type.
System Removal & Disposal
- Follow full shutdown procedure.
- Disconnect all AC, DC, and communication cables.
- Remove cable glands, internal battery, and mounting bracket.
- Dispose according to regional electrical waste regulations.
