Sell your GivEnergy Gen 3 hybrid inverter
Whatever code is on its label, we buy the GivEnergy Gen 3 hybrid inverter in both its sizes. It's the newest of the three hybrid generations, and its batteries connect through one combined plug.

The aerial gives a Gen 3 away
- 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.
- GivEnergy's portal lists the model as GIV-HY3.6 or GIV-HY5.0, by rating. Neither code names a generation.
Shown with it, at one scale, is the Gen 2 model, 178 mm shorter, with its WiFi built into the case.
The rating label gives you the size, 3.6 or 5.0 kW. GivEnergy's installation manual for it, version 2.1, is dated August 2023.
What a Gen 3 hybrid runs, and how
| Battery | Works with a Gen 3 hybrid? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Giv-Bat 2.6 (Gen 1) | Yes | Ring terminals and a DC breaker of at least 100 A. |
| Giv-Bat 5.2 (Gen 1) | Yes | Ring terminals and a DC breaker of at least 100 A. |
| Giv-Bat 8.2 (Gen 1) | Yes | Ring terminals and a DC breaker of at least 100 A. |
| Giv-Bat 9.5 (Gen 2) | Yes | Combined cable; no separate breaker needed. |
| Giv-Bat 5.12 (Gen 3) | Yes | Plug-to-plug cable. |
| Giv-Bat 9.5 (Gen 3) | Yes | Plug-to-plug cable. |
A Gen 3 meets each generation of pack its own way, and your installer makes the connection. Gen 3 packs such as the 9.5 Gen 3 plug in with a plug-to-plug cable, while older packs connect differently, and Gen 1 packs need a breaker as well.
If yours runs 9.5 Gen 3 packs, they're among the batteries we want most, so add them to the same form.
This is the low-voltage Gen 3
On its product page, GivEnergy calls this model the Hybrid Inverter Low Voltage (Gen 3). It runs the 51.2 V packs, like the older hybrids, and it's the unit the "Gen 3 hybrid" tile on the form means. A high-voltage Gen 3 is a different unit.
The tallest and heaviest of the hybrids
At 588 mm and 32 kg on its 5.0 kW datasheet, it's the biggest of the three. Even so, it weighs less than any of GivEnergy's low-voltage battery packs, so what we plan for is where it's mounted and the way in, which the form asks about.
Why a Gen 3 gets more
We don't publish a price list. As the newest generation it starts ahead of the older hybrids, and we judge its condition from your photos and notes.
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 what's going, the inverter alone or the whole system. The "Gen 3 hybrid" tile is picked for you at the inverter step, whichever code is on the label.
What's a used GivEnergy Gen 3 hybrid worth?
It's the newest generation, so it's worth more than a Gen 2 or a Gen 1. Which model it is, and the state it's in, settle the rest. We don't publish a price list. Once it's described on the form, we email a written offer.
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.

About selling a Gen 3 hybrid
How do I know my GivEnergy inverter is Gen 3?
Look for an external WiFi aerial, a network socket and one combined battery plug. The firmware in the app reads D3xx-A3xx, and at 588 mm it's the tallest of the hybrids.
Do you buy the 5.0 kW Gen 3 hybrid?
Yes, as well as the 3.6 kW. Whatever the rating label on yours reads, a picture of it lets us confirm the model.
Do you buy the three-phase Gen 3 hybrid?
Yes. We buy the high-voltage Gen 3 and three-phase hybrids as well, though they're less common and have no tile of their own. Pick "Other or not sure" at the inverter step and send a picture of its rating plate.
