GivEnergy
Solihull.

A GivEnergy battery system installed in Solihull typically costs £3,500–£4,500 for the 5.2kWh model and £4,500–£6,000 for the 9.5kWh model. Larger modular stacks up to 18.4kWh are available for bigger properties. 0% VAT applies when installed alongside solar panels.

Both are excellent battery systems for Solihull homes, but they suit different buyers. GivEnergy is modular (start with 2.6kWh, stack up to 18.4kWh), has a 12-year warranty, and is generally £2,000–£4,000 less expensive than the Tesla Powerwall 3. GivEnergy's monitoring app is widely regarded as the best in the UK residential market. The Powerwall 3 offers a higher peak output and an all-in-one design. Energy Concerns installs both — we recommend the right system for your Solihull property.

In Solihull, with approximately 1,380 sunshine hours per year, a GivEnergy battery paired with solar panels typically achieves a combined payback of 7–10 years. Using the battery to arbitrage cheap overnight Octopus Go electricity (from ~7p/kWh) against peak rates adds £200–£400 per year to savings. The 12-year warranty means your battery will be fully covered for the entire payback period and well beyond.

For most Solihull households, the GivEnergy 9.5kWh is the best-seller and suits an average UK home with 3,500–4,500kWh annual consumption. If you primarily want to store daytime solar generation for evening use, the 5.2kWh model is often sufficient. Larger properties or those wanting overnight Octopus Go arbitrage benefit from stacking two units to 18.4kWh. Energy Concerns models your exact energy usage during a free survey to recommend the optimal size.

The GivEnergy app is considered the best battery monitoring app in the UK market. For Solihull homeowners it provides: real-time solar generation and battery state-of-charge data; automatic Octopus Go and Octopus Flux tariff integration for timed charging; historical consumption reports; remote control of charge/discharge schedules; and smart grid export control. The app works via a home broadband connection and requires no subscription.

A GivEnergy battery installation in Solihull is typically completed in a single day by Energy Concerns' directly-employed engineers. If combined with a new solar panel installation, the full project takes 1–2 days. After installation, we commission the system, configure the GivEnergy app on your device, and provide a full handover — including Octopus tariff setup if applicable. MCS certification is issued within 10 working days.
