Sell your GivEnergy AC Coupled inverter
We'll buy your GivEnergy AC Coupled inverter, the unit fitted to add batteries beside a solar inverter that was already there. It's the smallest GivEnergy inverter, 260 mm tall and 22.4 kg, and its datasheets give it one size, 3.0 kW.

Telling an AC Coupled from a hybrid
- 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.
Its neighbour in the picture, 440 mm tall, is the Gen 1 hybrid. GivEnergy lists both as Gen 1, and they're the same width, so the height and the solar connections tell them apart.
Later firmware versions moved from D5xx to D2xx, and GivEnergy's firmware notes for it begin in November 2020.
Every low-voltage pack works with an AC Coupled
| Battery | Works with an AC Coupled? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Giv-Bat 2.6 (Gen 1) | Yes | |
| Giv-Bat 5.2 (Gen 1) | Yes | |
| Giv-Bat 8.2 (Gen 1) | Yes | |
| Giv-Bat 9.5 (Gen 2) | Yes | |
| Giv-Bat 5.12 (Gen 3) | Yes | |
| Giv-Bat 9.5 (Gen 3) | Yes |
The 8.2 pack is one of them, so an AC Coupled running 8.2s can go on a single form with them.
Two weights in GivEnergy's own papers
A 2022 training table gives 19 kg; the datasheet gives 22.4 kg.
We go by the current datasheet, which is what the rating plate above shows. The older figure is in the 2022 installer training manual (GivEnergy, distributor copy).
Selling the solar inverter as well
If the solar inverter next to it is GivEnergy's too, it's one of the old solar inverters we buy, though the solar-only string inverters bring in little. Mention it in the form's notes box, with a picture of its label.
Pricing an AC Coupled
We don't publish a price list. GivEnergy lists the AC Coupled as Gen 1, and the state it's in counts as well.
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.
Sell us your AC Coupled
Pick "Inverter only" if the batteries stay, or "Inverter and batteries" if they're going too. The "AC Coupled" tile is already chosen at the inverter step.
What's a used GivEnergy AC Coupled inverter worth?
We don't publish a price list. Yours is valued from your answers on the form and a picture of the rating plate. The written offer reaches you by email. Selling it with the batteries it runs is fine too.
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 an AC Coupled
Is there a 5 kW GivEnergy AC Coupled inverter?
Not in GivEnergy's datasheets, which list the AC Coupled at 3.0 kW only. If the label on yours says 5.0 kW, it's probably a hybrid, and a picture of it lets us confirm the model.
Will my panels keep working if I sell the AC Coupled inverter?
Yes. It has no solar input, because it sits beside your solar inverter rather than between it and the panels. The panels carry on through the solar inverter you already have.
Do you buy an AC Coupled inverter with its batteries?
Yes. Every GivEnergy low-voltage pack works with it, so whichever ones you have, choose "Inverter and batteries" and add the "AC Coupled" and each pack. One written offer covers it all.
