GivEnergy All-in-One Gateway (GW1): The Essential Backup Interface for Energy Security and Smart Control
The GivEnergy Gateway GW1 is the intelligent bridge between your All-in-One storage system and complete home backup. Designed to provide seamless switchover during power outages, it ensures your property stays energised when the grid goes down. With a built-in energy meter and versatile connectivity, it also simplifies system design and enhances smart energy integration.
From keeping your solar running off-grid to powering essential appliances during blackouts, the Gateway transforms your GivEnergy system into a fully resilient, grid-independent energy hub.
Whole-Home Backup with Lightning-Fast Switchover
When paired with the GivEnergy All-in-One 3.6kW or 6.0kW units, the GW1 enables whole-home backup functionality. It automatically detects grid loss and switches to battery power in just 20 milliseconds, fast enough to avoid interruptions to lighting, refrigeration, or IT systems.
- Supports up to 18.4kW of nominal AC power
- 100A maximum AC current handling
- Fully IP65-rated for versatile indoor or outdoor installs
Integrated Energy Meter for Simplified Installation
The Gateway includes a pre-installed energy meter, significantly reducing setup complexity for installers. This integrated design eliminates the need for separate components, allowing faster commissioning and cleaner installations, especially where space or cable routing is limited.
Smart Connectivity and System Communication
Built-in WiFi and LAN support ensure the Gateway remains connected to the GivEnergy cloud, enabling remote monitoring and updates. Optional LoRa wireless communication allows it to interact with grid meters over long distances without the need for hard wiring, ideal for outbuildings or more complex system layouts.
Seamless Integration with Solar and EV Chargers
The Gateway is more than just a backup switch, it also acts as a central connection point for your solar PV system and EV charger. This ensures your solar continues to generate even during an outage, and any surplus energy can be intelligently directed to storage or your EV.
This consolidated approach supports smarter load balancing, better tariff optimisation and fewer components on the wall.
