please can someone help advise whether Ovo will install an additional GivEnergy battery for me to extend my system.

I believe GivEnergy are no more , so once physically installed how do you configure the battery as I understand that GivEnergy needed to send some instruction to the inverter

any help and guidance really appreciated

Thanks

Hi @Colin at home

GivEnergy went bust in April this year so there is no warranty on equipment, no spares and no server for them to operate with. There is a possibility of local control but you will need some familiarity with home automation systems.

OVO won't be installing a home battery from a company in administration even though I found a web page (probably out of date) that says they do. If you want to discuss the situation suggest you call customer support and see if they can help.

For help with regaining control of you battery see this web page from SpeakEV

Note to @Bradley_OVO - can we get this web page updated?

Hey @Peter E great catch!

We can certainly raise an internal ticket to the website team to ask that they update their content.

Thanks for raising this,
