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!

@indevolt-tech @indevolt-uk

Now we have established that the 'plug in' feature of these devices will (sadly) not become fully legal on 27th August (unlike compliant pure PV plug in), it would be helpful if you could detail here and on your website the compliant route to using these.

It strikes me that this need not add that much to the cost. As I understand it they could (for example) be wired by any registered electrician into a switched fused spur on an existing ring. If you have a spare socket in a convenient place that can be converted to a fused spur thats going to cost less than £250 I would guess. G98/G99 applications are FOC.

Some may want to go down this route, particularly if it opens up a faster discharge potential or (even if not) if this allows them to get an additional heating season in because they can connect up before the regs (hopefully) change again.

Why not make this explicit here and on your website!

It may even be cheaper for a bigger system. Remember that if an electrician buys it and installs it and wires it into the property then it may be vat exempted, whereas if you buy it and hand it to an electrician it's not.

On the other hand if you are going to pay a sparky and its 5 grand for a 40kWh battery / 5kWh inverter system in hardware costs (plus sparky time and work) there's some assessments to be done on what the right value option is.
