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!

My ideal install would have my battery installed before the CU and have my cu wired to the back up socket.

There are electricians who would be prepared to implement such a strategy...
... but not if the Loads could exceed the 400w available.

You could simply have two consumer units, one of which is supplied by the battery, and the other one with kitchen appliances on it.

I have some circuits which can be changed-over to operate from either the grid supply or the 240v output of a battery system:

Is it not 3KW?

As I recall, 3kW is the maximum available from the maintained outlet if you've bought sufficient add-on battery packs.

I'd need to check the specs again to know what level Indevolt will limit the output to if you have just the basic box, with & without a 'charge from the grid' option.
