Sell your GivEnergy inverter, hybrid or AC Coupled
We buy every GivEnergy inverter made for homes. The low-voltage hybrid came in three generations, all at 3.6 or 5.0 kW, while the datasheets give the AC Coupled a single size, 3.0 kW.
An independent buyer. Not affiliated with, or endorsed by, GivEnergy, Tesla or any other manufacturer.
The hybrids, newest first, then the AC Coupled
The high-voltage Gen 3 and three-phase hybrids are on our list too, though we see fewer of them, so they have no card here.
The solar-only string inverters are worth little, but they're still among the used solar inverters we buy.
Inside an All in One's cabinet, the inverter sits with the battery, at 6.0 or 3.6 kW.
What the front and the height tell you
A photo of the rating label is best, though GivEnergy's own documents don't print these inverters' model codes. If the label's out of reach, what's on the front and how tall it is usually give it away.
- Hybrid inverter (Gen 1) An LED display, and a WiFi or 4G dongle in the USB port. No network socket. 440 mm tall and 24 kg. Inverter firmware in the app reads D4xx-A4xx.
- Hybrid inverter (Gen 2) An LCD screen, WiFi built in and a network socket. 410 mm tall and 27.5 kg. Inverter firmware in the app reads D9xx-A9xx.
- Hybrid inverter (Gen 3) The tallest hybrid, at 588 mm and 32 kg. An external WiFi aerial, a network socket and one combined battery plug. Inverter firmware in the app reads D3xx-A3xx.
- AC Coupled inverter 3.0 kW The smallest inverter, 260 mm tall and 22.4 kg. No solar input. It sits beside an existing solar inverter. GivEnergy's datasheets list it at 3.0 kW only. Inverter firmware in the app reads D5xx or D2xx.
If you still can't tell, pick "Other or not sure" on the form and send us a picture of the label.
The firmware number the app shows differs from one generation to the next.
How big each GivEnergy inverter is
They're all 480 mm wide. The AC Coupled is the shortest at 260 mm, and a Gen 3 hybrid the tallest at 588 mm.
| Model | Generation | Height | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hybrid inverter (Gen 3) | Gen 3 | 588 mm | 32 kg |
| Hybrid inverter (Gen 2) | Gen 2 | 410 mm | 27.5 kg |
| Hybrid inverter (Gen 1) | Gen 1 | 440 mm | 24 kg |
| AC Coupled inverter 3.0 kW | Gen 1 | 260 mm | 22.4 kg |
If yours is high up or tucked away, the form has room to say so, and a photo of how we'd reach it helps.
Generation counts most on an inverter
We don't publish a price list. After the generation, the state it's in decides the rest.
Generation
A newer generation is worth more, so a Gen 3 hybrid is worth more than a Gen 1. The front of the unit and its rating label tell us which one you have.
Start with the inverter you're selling
The form opens with "Inverter only" picked. Next comes the model, and "Other or not sure" is fine if the label's worn.
What's a used GivEnergy inverter worth?
A newer one is worth more, so a Gen 3 hybrid is worth more than a Gen 1. We don't publish a price list. Add a picture of its label and a word on its condition, and the written offer comes by email.
Please don't take it off the wall yourself
A low-voltage GivEnergy pack runs at 51.2 V DC with real fault current behind it. A high-voltage stack runs well above that, and an All in One at around 307 V. Our engineer isolates the system before anything is moved. If your installer has already disconnected it, say so on the form.

Selling a GivEnergy inverter
Which GivEnergy inverter models do you buy?
We buy every generation of GivEnergy hybrid, at either power rating, and the AC Coupled. The high-voltage Gen 3 and three-phase hybrids are less common, and we buy them too. The solar-only string inverters are on our list as well, though they're worth little.
Do you buy a GivEnergy inverter on its own?
Yes. Pick "Inverter only" at the form's first step, and any batteries stay where they are. An inverter sold on its own holds no battery, so we work from its model and a picture of its rating label. On the day, our engineer makes the system safe and removes only the inverter.
What's the difference between a GivEnergy hybrid and an AC Coupled inverter?
Your solar panels connect to a hybrid, which is why selling one stops them until a replacement goes in. An AC Coupled takes no solar in. It works next to the panels' own solar inverter, which keeps them going after the AC Coupled has gone.
