Sell used solar equipment from your installs and rentals
Installers swapping out old systems can sell used solar equipment to us as it comes out, and so can landlords with kit in a rented home. There's no minimum quantity, and every unit on the form is priced in one written offer that comes back by email.
An independent buyer. Not affiliated with, or endorsed by, GivEnergy, Tesla or any other manufacturer.
The kit we buy, make by make
Every GivEnergy model we take
What each one looks like, so you can match it to what came out.
GivEnergy battery packs
Six low-voltage sizes over three generations. Height and the way the cables plug in show which is which.
GivEnergy inverters
Every hybrid generation, plus the AC Coupled. A newer generation fetches more.
Tesla Powerwalls
Powerwall 2 and Powerwall 3 units, and Powerwall 3 Expansions, as they come out.
Kit with no tile of its own still goes through the form. The "Other or not sure" inverter tile and the "Not sure" pack tile are there for it. Add a picture of its rating label so we can see the model.
Where a label has worn or faded, the firmware version the app shows still points to the generation.
Kit still on the wall
Send the form before the job if you can. Our engineer disconnects just what's being sold.
If the whole old system is coming out, pick "Inverter and batteries", then say in the notes when the replacement goes in.
We collect free across mainland England and Wales. We come to the address on the form.
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.
More than five packs at one address
The pack count on the form stops at five. Past that, choose "6 or more", and it asks "Roughly how many packs?" and "Mostly which model?" instead of a tile for every pack.
Under "Anything else?", give the year each system went in and say which packs worked as one set. Each battery is priced separately, and packs that have run together count for more than odd ones.
Every sale, trade or not, takes the same four steps, and a question the form leaves out goes to our email address.
Kit in a rented home
The offer goes to the email address on the form, so a landlord selling from a let property hears from us directly, not through the tenant.
Agree a day with your tenant before you book, so our engineer can reach the kit.
One form for each address
List every unit at that address, then send the next one.
How do you price several units at once?
One by one, inside a single written offer. Each GivEnergy battery is priced on its cycle count and how much capacity it still has, then the rest of what we check, and each inverter on its generation. With a Tesla Powerwall, the model, the use its app shows and where it was fitted set the figure. We don't publish a price list. Describe every unit on the form.

Step 1 of 3
Trade and bulk sales
Is there a minimum number of units?
No, there's no minimum quantity. One unit from one job is as welcome as several systems from different jobs.
Do you buy GivEnergy kit that installers take out during upgrades?
Yes. We buy every residential GivEnergy battery, hybrid and AC Coupled inverter, All in One and Gateway. The high-voltage battery stacks and the high-voltage Gen 3 and three-phase hybrids come our way less often, and we buy those as well. The solar-only string inverters are worth little, and we'll take them too.
Can you collect several systems at once?
Yes, from different addresses too, in one booking. The form takes one address at a time, so send one for each and mention the others in the notes. Our engineer disconnects whatever is still on the wall at each address.
Do you buy kit that's already been disconnected?
Yes. Tell us on the form that it's already off the wall. We'd rather see a battery while it's still running, so ask us first if you can. Kit that's already disconnected still gets an offer, though a lower one.
Can a landlord sell the battery from a rented property?
Yes. Our seller terms ask whoever sells to confirm the kit is theirs to sell, or that they have the owner's written permission. On collection day we ask the seller for photo ID.
