GivEnergy - Collapsed into Administration

[MikeGrahamT21]

Not sure if anyone has one of these systems, i'd considered it but they were too expensive at the time, glad now.

Always ran low on cash reserves apparently

The software company is a different company, so that's ok for now. BUT if we want all the bells and whistles you have to pay monthly.

 

The hardware unless bought over there goes the warranty.

 

But battery inverter do not need cloud based services unless you need remote access and monitoring. It can all be controlled locally.

 

Several alternative controllers out there if you need them.

 

Big BUT, they won't be the last, tech startups come and go

Bugger. 
 

It would appear that my All-In-One didn’t charge up last night but I only spotted that this morning when we had a brief (1 second) power cut. It looks like that was the battery emptying and the grid picking up. Pretty sure that scenario shouldn’t give us a power cut but it did. 
 

All indications I get is that the battery is at 7% and not taking any charge from the excess solar we have at the moment. 
 

A quick internet search for resetting the AIO is to press the button on the right hand side of the battery for 5 seconds, the battery will shut down and then 1-2 mins later start up again. 
 

Guess what. It hasn’t restarted. Any one have any similar issues? Or any pointers as to how I can get this heavy box of chemicals working as a battery again?

It turns out that pressing the button again restarts the battery, so it’s up and running but discharging at max rate when it should be charging from excess solar. I reset to factory defaults and all seems to be well for the time being.

Got the battery running again.
