The GivEnergy Hybrid Inverter 3.6 (Gen 2) is a combined battery inverter and solar
inverter in one unit. It connects directly to solar panels to generate usable electricity
for the property, while storing surplus energy in a battery for later use. The system
aims to minimise export by charging the battery during generation hours and to
reduce import by discharging to meet household demand.
Key Features
- Hybrid design: Battery inverter and solar inverter integrated into a single unit.
- Export and import reduction: Stores excess solar and discharges to cover loads.
- Dual MPPTs: Two independent trackers for flexible PV array design.
- Fast backup switching: Approx. 10ms automatic transfer for backup loads.
- Flexible rate tariff ready: Charge from the grid at off-peak times and discharge at peak times.
- Remote monitoring and control: Via the GivEnergy Monitoring App and Portal.
- 12-year warranty: Backed by the GivEnergy UK support team.
- IP65 enclosure: Suitable for indoor or outdoor installation.
