Didn't watch the video through did you 😂

Not sure you understood about beta either. Beta is code for sort of works.

@paulnextlevelbusiness2257 I stated nothing about what it could or couldn't do bud. You made a sweeping statement about it not working in conjunction with other batteries which is false, and that it won't go outside yet it can, with caveat of it being affected by climate. Keep on talking halve truths though, I'm sure it's served you well upto now 😉

@@sdtunstall no sweeping statements all true, I wanted to add one to my existing Giv setup, not possible according to them (not officially supported). Also my existing Giv multi inverter setup wasn’t officially supported either and should work but doesn’t and no support. I have lived with these products and what is/isn’t supported and what does/doesn’t work. Junked the lot and moved to multiple Tesla Powerwalls (installed by Heatable) and they work seamlessly and as described, no beta or half compatibilities. Trying to save others from wasting their valuable money and time.

Hey Ben, I couldn’t have explained it any better myself. Honest review: my AIO is great. I was aware of the cold issue before installation, so as you’ve seen, I opted for installation in the garage right next to the consumer unit and meter. I’m aware of numerous GivEnergy customers who have had issues with AIO, but when you read between the lines, it has generally been down to bad installs. In their early days, there were some software and firmware issues, but it seems that these have been ironed out. I too had a few SOC issues just after installation caused by software and firmware, but between Heatable and GivEnergy, these were swiftly resolved, and the system hasn’t blipped since. I am very pleased with it. I would recommend the GivEnergy AIO. The Tesla may be considered better by some, but it also comes at a higher cost. The AIO is great value for money, with a long warranty, but I always tell people to do their homework to make sure it works for them. The breaking news made me giggle about the 2nd AIO in parallel as you guys are already arranging the install of the 2nd unit 😊

You can with a canopy

Coming to the channel this month 👀

Class, we'll see if Allen's free next time😂

Hey Michael, thanks so much for this feedback, glad we kept you entertained 😂

@@Heatable Genuinely good video though. It can be hard to come up with new content, so it was great to see a fresh approach being taken on this one. Enough technical information, but not overloaded. Funny in a number of ways, a just good to see things from the perspective of an actual customer without the focus being solely on them.

@@michaelwinkley2302If you've ever got any suggestions we'd love to hear them!

😂😂

He sure knows his stuff!

Thanks for your comment! We'll definitely keep this in mind then 😄

Our pleasure Roger, thanks for being so great letting us film this video!

Hi, thanks for your comment. We'll be doing a full comparison review in the coming month or so

Hi, thanks for your comment. The PW2 is still available across most of Europe until mid 2025. Just because the product is due to be replaced in the UK later this year doesn't remove the curiosity to learn about it's features.

Hi Allen, glad you enjoyed it

That would make a good video 😆

Hi, thanks for your comment. Sounds like you have an impressive setup there! Do the batteries function below zero as they are lead acid chemistry, opposed to lithium?

@@Heatable lts a lead carbon,sealed,non spillable,discharge 90% max,charge and discharge at -40, they seem to loose a little capacity when cold but for 30 day you can partial charge, eg using a gen for winter charge. No bms inverter just monitors by voltage in the bank. after 6 months I checked all of them.1 v difference so no optimizer needed. Victron has lead carbon mine are XTerra there are others all a bit different specs. 12v 250a weighs 170lbs.i did a lifespan calculation looks like 14 to 16 years till it's down too 40 kw also 97% recyclable . I have a solar system vid, truly simple to install. Tesla makes good stuff but the Powerwall is too much $ for the performance.

Hi, thanks for your comment. Lots of clients charge their battery on the same tariff as their EV (usually, these are the cheapest options)

Hi John, thanks for your comment. Yes we have a review of each model coming to the channel, plus a full comparison.

Hi, thanks for your comment. PAS 63100: 2024 related to recommendations around siting of batteries. GivEnergy have released their own guidance on this following the PAS 63100: 2024 release. Ideally, where space allows we would avoid loft spaces.

Hi Neil, this would be down to your local authority to decide.

The benefits will be minimal. Bifacial are designed to be used where light can be reflected on to the back of them, ideally installed meters above the surface, not on a roof.

@@TheRonskiman The question was aimed at Heatable as they are the ones who installed the panels.

@@rogerthomas7040 I know, but do you really think they are going to answer the question? If answered honestly it would undermine / contradict their advertising, other option is to lie.

Hi Roger, thanks for your question. This gets asked a lot so we're putting a comparison test video together at the moment. All will be revealed. Importantly though, we only ever quote the front sheet power rating when sizing systems for our clients. Any upside is a bonus 😀

@@TheRonskiman Hi, thanks for your comment. We've answered the question above, we'll be uploading the comparison test in the coming month. All our proposals use the front sheet KWp ratings, which in this case is 440w.

😃

...and most string inverters have start up voltage ranging from 80-150V, not 300V as stated in this video. Some string inverters like the goodwe ES G2 have startup voltage as low as 58V and mppt range of 60 - 550V. Why some installers feel it's necessary to oversell micro inverters is what I don't get. Micro and string inverters have their respective pros and cons so claiming one type is best for all cases is simply ridiculous.

JA is low end Chinese rubbish. No comparison to REA / REC etc.

@@singlendhot8628 REC not comparable to REA

You can find a number of vendors who make statements about their products such as "Module efficiency up to" or for one vendor their warranty states "During the first year, {The company} warrants the actual power output of the Products will be no less than 97.5% of the labeled power output." which is stated on a 575W panel for 2.5% possible drop is a fair amount. Both are ways to not have to state a firm +- value. As long as you find the fine print it is easy to work out the real 'value' of a panel.

@@singlendhot8628and how do they perform as the temperature of the panel increases? Better or worse than REA?

@@StefanHolmes REA = Rolls Royce JA Solar = MG That is the best way to describe the two. There is no comparison.
