Understanding Eco Mode (and why it’s the default)

Understanding Eco Mode (and why it’s the default)

Eco Mode is the default setting for most GivEnergy systems and is designed to save you money automatically without you needing to change settings.

  • In Eco Mode, your battery discharges to cover your home’s demand whenever there is charge available.

  • This reduces your draw from the grid and makes use of stored solar or off-peak electricity.

  • For most households, Eco Mode is the recommended setting.

Troubleshooting:

  • If you are on a time-of-use tariff, you may wish to add a timed charge period to take advantage of cheap rates.

When to Contact Support:

If your system does not appear to be working in Eco Mode (e.g., not covering home usage).
