Smart Energy teams up with GivEnergy for Aussie homes

Thu, 30th May 2024

Australia's independent solar and battery company, Smart Energy, has announced a new partnership with UK-based GivEnergy, a premier manufacturer of inverters, cobalt-free battery systems, and advanced energy management software. This collaboration aims to introduce cutting-edge energy storage solutions to Australian households and further promote sustainable energy practices across the country.

Smart Energy will begin offering a range of innovative products from GivEnergy, including the All-in-One AC coupled 13.4kW unit. These AC-coupled solutions are designed to store excess energy generated from solar and wind sources, optimising energy use and ensuring homes remain powered even during grid outages. The company plans to expand its product offerings with the full GivEnergy range as approvals from the Clean Energy Council (CEC) are secured in the coming months.

Australians will now have access to GivEnergy’s single and three-phase hybrid systems, which integrate seamlessly with existing renewable energy setups to provide efficient and scalable energy storage solutions. This marks a significant step in enhancing energy independence and reducing carbon footprints for Australian households.

Joel Power, Joint Managing Director of Smart Energy, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership: "We are ecstatic to be partnering with industry leaders like GivEnergy, whose innovative approach and cutting-edge technology align perfectly with our mission to deliver the highest quality products and services to our customers. This partnership allows us to provide Australians with advanced energy storage solutions that are both reliable and efficient, empowering them to take control of their energy usage and reduce their carbon footprint."

Martin Cobb, Managing Director of GivEnergy, Australia, echoed this sentiment: "We're thrilled to welcome Smart Energy Group as our national renewables partner at GivEnergy Australia. This partnership is a crucial step in our strategic mission to lead the Australian energy storage market, following our successes in the UK. Currently, our AC-coupled solution, the All-in-One 13.5kWh battery system, is making waves. Soon, we'll also be introducing our single and three-phase hybrid systems in Australia, all accessible through Smart Energy."

Cobb added: "We’ve long professed here at GivEnergy that truly taking positive energy action requires robust collaboration between manufacturers and service providers. We believe this latest strategic partnership with Smart Energy Group to be a highly impactful collaboration that will accelerate Australia’s drive towards energy-efficient homes. Through committed, cross-industry relationships such as the one with Smart Energy, we continue our mission to empower energy freedom for all."

The partnership signifies Smart Energy's dedication to providing Australian homes with sustainable energy solutions, reducing their carbon footprint, and achieving energy independence through the adoption of renewable energy technologies. GivEnergy, which employs over 600 people globally, continues to expand its reach in Australia through its offices in South Australia and Victoria.
