GivEnergy GIV-EMS-V1: The Intelligent Energy Management System for Smart Solar Homes

The GivEnergy GIV-EMS-V1 Energy Management System is the digital brain behind your home’s solar and storage network. Designed to integrate up to three inverters and six meters, it connects your energy devices into one cohesive ecosystem. With remote access via WiFi or Ethernet, you can schedule energy usage, monitor performance, and optimise savings, all from the intuitive GivEnergy app or web portal.

Control and Monitor Your Entire Energy System

With the EMS V1, you gain complete visibility and control over your solar generation, battery storage, and household consumption. Whether you’re managing a multi-inverter system or just want tighter control over your daily usage, the EMS provides a real-time snapshot of your energy flows and automates how your energy is used, saving money and improving efficiency.

For UK homes with variable tariff plans or diverse storage setups, this intelligent controller makes energy optimisation easy and accessible.

Supports Complex Multi-Inverter and Multi-Meter Systems

The GIV-EMS-V1 supports connection to:

• Up to 3 AC coupled inverters
• Up to 6 energy meters

This means larger or more advanced systems, such as those with multiple battery banks or varied PV installations, can be managed under one platform. It ensures all energy inputs and outputs are balanced, coordinated, and displayed in one user-friendly interface. Ideal for installers working with growing energy systems, or homeowners expanding capacity over time.

Cloud Integration with Remote Updates and Scheduling

Thanks to built-in WiFi and LAN ports, the EMS connects securely to the GivEnergy cloud platform. Through the free mobile app or web portal, users can:

• Schedule charging and discharging based on energy tariffs
• Visualise current and historical energy flows
• Receive firmware updates remotely for feature improvements

This cloud capability makes the EMS an ideal companion for variable-rate tariffs such as Octopus Agile or Intelligent Go, enabling maximum cost savings by aligning usage with your cheapest available energy.
