MyEnergi's Libbi Battery on Fully Charged show

764 Posts

Episode here.
I'm not sold on the need for a battery, especially when I'm selling energy for 15p to Octopus and buying it for less via Octopus Agile import. However, if my consumption patterns heavily skewed towards nighttime usage, or I had much higher consumption (EVs, heat pump), the Libbi seems like a quality UK alternative to brands like Growatt, Pylontech etc.
The modular capability and blackout protection are excellent pros. And the built in hybrid inverter will likely lead to system purchase savings. All at < £5K.
From Myenergi "The libbi will come with the inverter as a package which can be installed alongside your current inverter, you don't have to replace the one you have"

If I was starting again I'd be very interested in the complete package from Myenergi.
If they can make it all work so that customers don't have to worry about getting the cheapest most efficient running of a system then that's fantastic.
Integration is worth much more than it seems.
I can see the libbi being a big hit in the UK as it'll be sold as a complete system to lots of people new to solar.
Especially if Myenergi start installing or saddle up with a big group of installers.
