How your battery saves you money automatically

How your battery saves you money automatically

Your GivEnergy battery is designed to save you money without you needing to change your behaviour. Once installed, it intelligently stores and uses electricity based on your setup.

  • Stores cheap electricity – Charges when prices are low, discharges when prices are high.

  • Uses your solar better – Keeps more of your solar energy in your home instead of exporting it.

  • Supports grid services – With GivBack enabled, your battery can help stabilise the grid and earn you money.

Troubleshooting:

  • If your battery doesn’t appear to be saving you money, check your tariff settings and confirm Eco Mode is enabled.

When to Contact Support:

If your system is installed and running but doesn’t seem to store or discharge energy at all.
