Is battery storage worth it?

For most households, yes — especially if you're out during the day. Without a battery, around 50–60% of your solar generation is exported. A battery lets you use that energy in the evening when grid rates are highest.

How long does a solar battery last?

GivEnergy batteries come with a 10-year warranty and are designed to last 15+ years. Tesla Powerwall has a similar lifespan.

Can I add a battery to existing solar panels?

Yes. We retrofit battery storage to any existing solar system, regardless of who installed it — typically completed in half a day.

Can a battery power my house during a power cut?

Most home batteries can power essential circuits for several hours during an outage. We design backup functionality if resilience matters to you.
