You wanna try being a gen 1 customer lol

@@stuartburns8657 We are, its been in for a year without any real issues but I may want to add a second battery.

Q1 is their target

I doubt it. It would make their batteries redundant.

Short answer. No. But with their new Ems device maybe. Won't know for sure until they release it

No. The 9.5 is a low voltage battery. While the All In One's are High voltage. Some enthusiasts have them together using 3rd party software to manage them and display their data.

Ditto here. My Gen 2 3.6kW Inverter is too small so rather than replace it (unless GE would take it back as a trade -in) I would be looking to add an additional larger inverter of at least 6kW to home while retaining my existing 2 x 9.5kW Gen 2 batteries. Only other option is to scrap my existing system altogether & replace it with what I should have had from day one.

@@PaulLandregan shame, making things backwards compatible is a great way to retain customers, having recently spent around £10k on GivEnergy products I'm starting to think I made a poor long term choice.

@PropertyAtAuction we are developing a multi functional EMS called HEMS. This will be able to integrate LV and HV systems in the same property.

Thank you for your comment! It's certainly something we get asked A LOT and there's no straightforward answer. We are platinum installers for GivEnergy and Award Winning Tesla installers, they each have drawbacks & benefits - the best system ultimately depends on your specific needs and requirements. Here is some general advice of when you might choose system over the other: If you are a family of four with no heat pump and average loads (2000 - 5000KWH), then a GivEnergy Hybrid inverter will likely give you the best ROI and meet your needs. If your home is in a much higher demand (5000 KWH +) or you have a heat pump, then you would more than likely make the best use of the larger inverter in the Powerwall 3. If you don’t want the whole home back up but a want the increased storage capacity of the Powerwall 3, then GivEnergy has a product called the All in One, which is worth a look at; this has a 13.5KWH battery (similar chemistry to the Powerwall 3), the inverter is a bit smaller at 6KW (charge and discharge), but you get more bang for your buck particularly if you are a battery only (AC/Coupled) customer. Hope that helps a bit! Let us know if you have any more questions :)

Hi Colin, we've just had a conversation with Tesla Energy about this - as lots of our customers like this tariff. Maybe for the minute try flux, but our contacts at Tesla Energy tell us compatibility with IOF is imminent, so fingers crossed it won't be long before you can switch! It's definitely something in the pipeline 👀 🐙

@ Thanks for this. I have asked Octopus to provide confirmation that it will happen and by when. No response as yet, so it’s good to hear positive feedback from the Tesla side. In the interim I might go with Flux to use the Netzero app to integrate with Agile. But I am very disappointed with Octopus, and not for the first time either.

Thanks so much for your comment. Regarding FIT payments, it will all depend on the installation method for the Powerwall 3. Check whether your energy supplier is okay with hybrid inverter setups (some aren't). Assuming your energy provide is happy with the set up, you will need a bi-directional energy meter (approved by your energy supplier) and installed by an MCS-approved contractor (make sure you get the make and model your energy provider are happy with). If your energy supplier isn't happy with the hybrid-inverter set-up, don't worry! It is possible with almost all FIT payment providers to install a Powerwall 3 in an A/C coupled format (your installer can fit an additional CT clamp to track the usage of your current Inverter). This means you clock the unit of energy (getting your full FIT payment) and then store it in the battery. You'll also need to tell your energy supplier, they will usually require some paperwork and require a schematic diagram, and your deemed export will change to Smart Export Guarantee. My suggestion would be Octopus Outgoing for your export at the time of writing this comment it was 15p fixed per KWH (essentially you get a FIT payment, buy loads in your battery for 7p and if you buy too much you get 15p a KW - result!) Octopus Intelligent Go and Powerwall 3 is a good choice. The only thing you should be aware of is that Intelligent Go has a fixed window from 11.30 to 17.30. But, it also randomly changes charging slots when the car is plugged in, which means your Powerwall outside of the event could push energy to your vehicle (which you are unlikely to want). To prevent this, you can either get an API to program the Powerwall to amend the time windows on your Powerwall, or you could set your charger to avoid taking charge outside of 11.30-17.30 as long as your Powerwall 3 and your car are synced to the exact times it will work fine. Hope that helps! Don't forget to like and subscribe :)

Many thanks for such a detailed response which i will now be able to address my configuration and ongoing usage. Very much appreciated.😊

You are welcome! Anything else you'd like to know, just leave us a comment :) AD
