My Solar PV and Battery Install - Why I chose a GivEnergy 13.5kWh All-In-One Battery and Gateway.

Hi Matt. Ive watched dozens of videos regarding different types of install. Your method/installation and instruction is one of the clearest ive seen. Showing those graphics, great idea, simple to understand. Thanks very much takin the time to do this. I will definitely use the code when i take the plunge in a few months!

Very good installation!!!

Nice.

03:15 Another benefit of DC batteries is if your inverter would clip with excess DC solar power, it can go into the battery rather than being lost.

Thank you for sharing your installation. @SolarJourneyWithMatt, does your battery or inverter goes offline when simulating a power outage? Do they do often offline. I'm experiencing these issues on my recent installation

Been working on this sort of setup for home hear but going with a 5kwh Hybrid as I need close to 20kwh of battery's and 2 x 9.5 fit the bill with 10 panels East and 10 panels West of 425w giving 8,5 Kwh total giving a predicted output of a bit over 7000 kwh a year. On site use is 6500 a year most days see's a average 15 to18kwh used so store as much as i can power cuts are short time if ever so going down the DC path makes sense over the 13.5 all in one and more power going out to grid can you add more battery's to the AC system all in one i cant see anyplace they say you can daisy chain the battery's like a Dc setup so as to make up a 23kw with one more 9.5 on it

I Wish there was an alarm to tell you when there was a power cut that way you would know to managed the stored power.

Hi, thanks for sharing. This is pretty much the system I'm interested in ! The GiveEnergy AIO battery inverter is 6kW, the solar inverter is 5kW. Surely both of these exceed the 3.68kW limit for the simpler G98 DNO approval... Did you not need to apply for the more complex G99 approval for this system ? If so, what were the extra time, money and complexity costs for doing this please ?

Dear Matt, I recently watched your video on YouTube with great interest. I have a question regarding energy storage solutions, specifically about the possibility of using a battery storage system independent of solar panels. My idea is to charge the battery overnight when electricity rates are lower and then use this stored energy to power my home during the day, especially when electricity prices are at their highest. I should mention that I don't own an electric vehicle, so the system would be solely for home energy use. Have you explored or discussed such a scenario in your videos? I am curious to know if this is a feasible option and would greatly appreciate any insights or analysis you might have on this topic. Thank you for your content and looking forward to your response. Best regards, Michael

what is the purpose of isolation switch and why should you get one installed?

So what is in the all in one then? I don't get why you need the gateway or Solis inverter. I thought that was inside with the battery? Hence "all in one" ?

Is the battery system modular ?

how much is this system roughly? THX.
