Battery and Solar Inverter in One Mounting Bracket Fixings Mounting bracket The third generation of the GivEnergy Hybrid Inverter is a battery and solar inverter in one unit. It can be coupled directly with solar panels to generate electricity in the property during daylight hours, as well as store any excess energy for later use in our batteries to minimise export.
The model and specification of the inverter’s nameplate match the order specifications If any damaged or missing parts are found, please contact GivEnergy on 01377 252 874 or email support@givenergy.co.uk immediately. Returns must be provided in original or equivalent packaging. The...

AC UTILITY GRID CONNECTION CONNECTING TO THE EPS Cable size requirements for the Hybrid Inverter are dependant on the model: The Emergency Power Supply (EPS) can provide a maximum output power of 8000/10000W during a grid failure. This output must be protected as close to the inverter as possible, with a double pole 30mA RCD rated at up to 20A.

CONNECTING THE BATTERY TO THE INVERTER CONNECTING MULTIPLE BATTERY STACKS Connect the cable to the battery and the other end to the inverter. Ensure that the grommeted Connect the cable to the battery and the other end to the inverter. Ensure that the grommeted end of the cable is the inverter end.
CONNECTING MID APPROVED METER LABEL DESCRIPTION Nameplate In the system, a mid approved meter must be installed to ensure correct monitoring of the grid power. The inverter uses this information to decide whether to charge or discharge the battery. This provides unique identification of the inverter (product type, device-specific characteristics, certificates and approvals).
