When the Givenergy system is installed and setup we connect the inverter to the cloud via your WIFI internet settings. Many customers then change their router, password or even internet provider. This will cause the cloud to lose connection. Please note that the battery system keeps working, you just cannot see it from the cloud login. To change the WIFI settings follow the easy to follow instructions at https://kb.givenergy.cloud/article.php?id=1
Just go to the Apple App Store or Android Play Store.

The Octopus Agile Tariff is variable and based upon supply and demand. On some occasions the price of electricity goes negative. You get paid to use electricity. This is also know as plunge prices. Click the image to get a larger version of the spreadsheet. This shows actual prices for the Agile Tariff in Chelmsford during October. This spreadsheet was supplied by Mr Holland. He did his research before placing the order for his battery. Please note; the price of energy changes across the UK due to local DNO charges. Check with octopus.
With Agile Octopus, you get access to half-hourly energy prices, tied to wholesale prices and updated daily. So when wholesale prices drop, so do your bills – and if you can shift your daily electricity use outside of peak times with the use of a GivEnergy battery storage system, you can save even more.
When a situation occurs where there is more electricity generated than consumed, energy prices fall. Simple economics of supply and demand. Sometimes these prices drop below zero, and suppliers are paid to take energy off the grid.
Agile Octopus hasintroduced “Plunge Pricing” – a world first that lets you take advantage of these negative price events, and get paid for the electricity you use.
The GivEnergy battery system can be controlled automatically to take advantage of Plunge Prices and super cheap prices. With solar panels and a battery storage system your electric unit price is either zero or damn cheap.
Over the last 12 months, unit prices dropped below 2p / kWh 31 times.
At 4pm every day, your unit rates are updated for the next 24 hours, based on the wholesale market rates. The GivEnergy battery storage system is then programmed by Octopus Energy to make best use of the cheapest electric, if needed.
Your solar PV and battery gives you free electric then, if needed, you use electricity from the grid. The programming of the GivEnergy battery prevents you from buying expensive rate electric.
Solar PV, GivEnergy battery storage and Agile Octopus energy could reduce your energy bills by over 85% and ALL your electric comes from a renewable green source. You win and the environment wins.
The GivEnergy battery system keeps you away from these peak prices.
Please note that businesses pay more than residential.
