GivEnergy Batteries
GivEnergy offer 2 ways in which a Battery can be connected to the Electrical system. that is 'AC Coupled' or a 'Hybrid Inverter', both have different reasons for being installed.
What is a Hybrid Inverter?
A hybrid inverter is an all-in-one inverter that incorporates both a solar and battery inverter in one simple unit and enables storage of excess solar energy in a battery system
What does AC coupled mean?
An AC Coupled Battery is one that has it's own Inverter, separate from Solar. It has an AC input/ output as well as a DC input/ output for the Battery connections.
Advantages & Disadvantages
Hybrid Inverter is a neat, all in one solution
​
Hybrid Inverter is more efficient with less conversions
​
If your PV Inverter fails then the AC Coupled Battery will continue operating
​
AC Coupled is a great retrofit without touching the existing PV Inverter
Hybrid Inverter has 1 point of failure
​
AC Coupled has losses due to multiple conversions
​
Hybrid Inverters have less options for output

LB Electrical installed two battery packs and a new PV Inverter and linked in the existing PV array for me. The whole installation was very professional and I would recommend their services for similar work.
