Indevolt Batteries UK Support & Info Thread

Mars · 2026-04-04T15:01:25Z

There's some big news for UK solar and home-energy enthusiasts... we’ve just taken delivery of the very first Indevolt Powerflex 2000 Hybrid complete with the PFA 2000 battery expansion pack right here in Britain, ahead of the official summer rollout. This is a true plug-and-play system. It simply plugs into a standard UK 13A wall socket, no complicated wiring, no electrician required. You can even add a cheap smart meter clamp to automatically charge it from excess PV production. The modular expandable design looks like it could finally make home battery storage simple, scalable and genuinely accessible for normal UK homes. I’m gearing up to run full real-world testing and a detailed review over the next few weeks: performance numbers, actual bill savings, backup capability and a complete step-by-step guide on how to install it safely and fully in line with current (and updated) UK regulations. In the meantime, this thread is now open as the dedicated UK support & information hub for the Indevolt battery range. Got questions about: Compatibility with your existing solar setup? UK regs and G99/DNO notifications? Expansion options? Smart integration, app features or anything else? Fire away below! I’ll be sharing my hands-on insights, takeaways and any early findings as I go. Looking forward to your questions so drop them here and let’s get the conversation started! Full video review coming before the end of April 2026. Wow, that is a big YouTube embed!

@jamespa Indevolt will likely do what Ecoflow have done.

Just ship the product with a non-terminated A/C cable. The customer can have it fully installed...or they can just wire a plug on the end. It's none of their business once the product is sold!

Works for EcoFlow.

I think its 800W unless you fit an expansion battery in which case its 3kW.

Two 2kWh or one 4kWh expansion to enable 3kW.

We already do this - non grid tie self installed panels plugged into self installed battery/inverter stacks running the main air/air heatpumps. All directly connected, no house wiring except the battery charging side for winter. Doesn't count on our G99 (which is why we did it originally).

For the benefit of others who come across this discussion later, allow me to expand on that advice from @etchedpixels

You only need G98/G99 consent if the inverter/battery system can export to the grid.

If you arrange a solar inverter so that it only supplies a battery, a heat-pump and (optionally) other priority devices, then you can do so without obtaining permission from the DNO. In simplified diagrammatic form it might look like this:

If the inverter and its battery are only going to supply the heat-pump, and no other mains appliances, then you don't require Distribution Board 2.

The inverter can still import from the grid in order to top-up the battery when solar-input has been low.

The heat-pump and priority devices will continue to operate during a power-cut, whilst there is charge remaining in the battery.

This approach is particularly "grid friendly". It's unlikely that you will be recharging from the grid during peak-demand periods. That allows other homes to share the available capacity of the network.

Equally, since you're not exporting, your home doesn't contribute to losses due to phase imbalance at the local substation.
