Good to know there is a good PVSolar/Tesla installation company near me if ever my PW2 system needs attention. My system has been up 7 years with no issues so don't expect a call just yet though.

Nice episode Ben. Each of those little cars needs 20kw to go up the ramp at the start? Do they get winched up and left to roll back to the shed, or powered all the way round?
@Evorenewables 3 ай бұрын
Their demand is 20kw of power as they go around and they're powered continually all the way around. The ride takes around 3 minutes so it would be I imagine around 1kwh of energy used at a demand of 20kw

Hey do you know the proper order of how to turn off the inverter, disconnect, and battery/batteries? A coworker told me if you do not turn these off in the correct order that you will ruin the battery.
@Evorenewables 7 ай бұрын
Yep, toggle switch off, AC Isolator off, Battery toggle switch off, battery MCB off and then reverse for start up

How do you find commissioning? We always find that the GivEnergy dongles (across their entire range of products) are much trickier to connect to a client's wifi network compared to other brands. Connectivity issues are our main gripe as it makes it difficult to predict how long commissioning will take. We could always hardwire of course, but it's a bit frustrating when other devices connect seamlessly and we're often swimming upstream with the GivEnergy kit.
@Evorenewables 7 ай бұрын
Commissioning on all Givenergy systems is a nightmare and something we dread however once you’ve passed that point they typically work very well. We just now allow additional time on GivEnergy jobs which could mean a return visit the next morning

One thing I've not understood with this, hopefully someone can help pls. The Givenergy 'All in one' is a battery with inverter in the same box. The Gateway is a separate box to which solar panels are connected. So do the solar panels still need a solar inverter to conver to AC to plug into this gateway. Or is the gateway capable of taking the DC straight from the solar panels ? I.e. Is a separate solar inverter still required with a system like this, or is the All in One and Gateway all that is needed ? It would surely make sense to be able to use DC from solar panels to charge the battery without the solar input being converted to AC then back to DC again.
@Evorenewables 7 ай бұрын
Hi Chris, Great question! The All In One is an AC coupled battery system so still requires the Solar Pv to have a standard string inverter. There’s Pro’s and Con’s for having an Ac coupled system or a DC coupled system however the all in ones main advanced Is the whole home back up in the event of a power cut due to the gateway. The All In One is a fantastic system but in my opinion the name is wrong as it’s actually not all in one.
@chrisgavin 7 ай бұрын
@@EvorenewablesMany thanks for this explanation. I think I agree, the name 'All in One' is a bit confusing. When they finally do add DC inputs to the battery, they'll have to call that something else ... 'Even more in One' maybe ; ) But yes, it seems like a good system, cheaper than Powerwall3, and already available here in the UK. Thanks for sharing all this information/experience.
@Evorenewables 7 ай бұрын
The story I heard was that it was due to be called the Givenergy Liberty. Inside the gateway it’s also labelled up as Liberty connections however MyEnergi brought out the Libbi before Givenergy so the name was changed to AIO. Might just be a rumour but that’s what we’ve heard. The AIO in my opinion is just as good as a Powerwall and for a great price

Out of interest, why install the DB so that you can only work on it with steps? Seems a bit of a faff and would have been much easier to work on and maintain in the future installed at a sensible height?
@Evorenewables 8 ай бұрын
In all honesty mainly because it’s the nearest option and in keeping with the existing installation and due to the fact that the site does store pallets etc in this area so up out of the way stops any unwanted damage to the DB etc.

What if you invest the exact cost of the optimisers you speak of into more panels and another inverter won't that fit in better?
@Evorenewables 8 ай бұрын
There’s no real right or wrong way. Sometimes it comes down to clients budgets for example. It’s worth remembering that optimisers don’t just optimise the generation, it also provides panel level monitoring aswell as Safe Dc where it restricts the output voltage in the event of a fault to prevent things like arching and fire etc

I have an all-electric house and AIO with an EV but no solar unfortunately. Currently my storage heating/hot water is fed via a separate switched CU from the 5th meter port. The Tesla charger(with PEN fault breaker) is currently fed from the main 24H CU (not the AIO as I already had that prior to getting the AIO) Would I gain anything by shifting the EV charger over to the Gateway (quite a tricky job due lack of access) I've read about problems if I shift to Octopus Intelligent causing the car charger to drain the battery during EV extra slots.
@Evorenewables 9 ай бұрын
The only thing you would gain is seeing it on the Givenery App otherwise there’s no real need to do it. You can set the battery to do both discharge between certain times to prevent scheduling EV charging from drawing the battery, however I don’t think you can get it to not charge if it’s on Octopus Intelligent….. might be a question for the Givenergy tech support.
@McOw123 10 ай бұрын
You mentioned the EV charger can be wired into the Gateway. Does it have to be GivEnergy’s own charger, or can you wire in, say, an existing Zappi or similar?

It can be any 3rd party EV point. The reason behind doing it is just so that it shows up on the Givenergy monitoring.

It can be any, however one of the objections to do this is the installer may have to use al alternate branded MCB to what Givenergy have supplied and many installers don’t like to mix and match brands which is why in the end we opted not to add it to the gateway.
