I have a GivEnergy system consisting of two batteries, two inverters and a controlling EMS (Energy Management System) which has not worked since Nov 2025. After six months I discovered Solar Tech Support, reached out to them and Ron phoned me back – how often do you get that service? Could not be more helpful – worked directly with me over the phone, outside what I would call normal working hours. Lucid explanations and we were able to discuss the issues and history using camera and email history. As this was a very rare setup, Ron was able to access an EMS expert in the field to confirm the solution. One sunny day in, I am now only paying for standing charge and a few pence for spikes in grid consumption while battery catches up with house demand.

When my GivEnergy system had an issue, I was completely left without support and had honestly lost all hope. Thankfully, I searched online and found Ron, which completely turned things around. After sending him a message, he responded incredibly fast and called me to assure me that he would get the problem fixed. I really admire his dedicated, supportive nature and his determination to find a solution. With this kind of outstanding attitude and customer service, he has absolutely secured a future customer in me.

Ron want out of is way to help, nothing was to much. He was very thorough in what he did Very knowledgeable I would highly recommend Ron and his company He did a fantastic job for me. if you have any problems, he'll do his best to help you out and resolve your problem. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them

Dennis Brown · May 2026 Trustpilot

Ron took me through a diagnostic to confirm my GivEnergy Inverter had a fault. A common one as it turns out with the AC Inverter. As GivEnergy is defunct there is no immediate fix, aside from sourcing 2nd hand replacement. It may be that a fix becomes available over the summer which would make a lot of GivEnergy customers happy (Again)

Contacted Ron with a problem and he sorted it out quickly with no problems at all. Very knowledgeable on anything solar/ batteries. I would recommend him to anyone

I've spoken to Ron a couple of times with issues with my Givenergy installation. Such a friendly knowledge guy very highly recommended. Thank you very much for resolving my issues

Contacted Solar Tech Support in desperation. After explaining the issues I had with my system a diagnosis was made and a solution proposed. Fantastic service, even contacted a manufacturer to arrange replacement parts for me. Great communications, explained all they were doing and what I had to do, clearly and precisly. Followed up to confirm all was ok. Excellent service.

After GivEnergy went into liquidation, just my luck, my battery started playing up (internal board crashed). Contacted my installer - not interested! Found Solar tech support on a Google search. Sooo glad I found this company! Ron is extremely helpful and has plenty of experience. He soon confirmed what the fault was, and helped me to get my system up and running again. Now moved my GivEnergy account to Solar tech support, and will definitely use again if I have more issues. Unusual to find such a helpful company in these times, no morons reading scripts, just direct contact with the engineer.

Contacted Solar Tech Support when trying to understand what my Givenergy inverter problem might be and what might be my options. Received good/honest advise which backed up my thoughts.

Hugh Speirs · Apr 2026 Trustpilot

Ron is a super star. Two months ago my GivEnergy battery failed a firmware upgrade leaving it a brick. My installer couldn't/wouldn't fix it. GivEnergy couldn't/wouldn't fix it. Then they went into administration and all hope was lost. A flurry of emails later and Ron had diagnosed the fault (failed USB flash drive, something I'd suspected) and talked me through resolving it. Two months of nothing resolved in about 3 hours. It's great to work with someone who pays attention to the details, knows that they're doing (not just following a script) and gets stuff sorted without a fuss or up-charging.

I can add to the list of customers who had already 'given up' on GivEnergy due to their appalling customer service, and that was before they went into administration (their Trustpilot reviews don't lie!). So you can imagine my desperation when, having changed my ISP and my Inverter, predictably, proving to be the only device that didn't connect automatically to my new network, I found zero prospect of any customer support with GivEnergy having called in the administrators just five days earlier! The salvation came from Solar Tech Support. My IT advisor stumbled across their web site and some very helpful tips for beleaguered GivEnergy customers, as well as an offer to provide direct assistance. Nothing ventured, I decided to drop them an E-Mail, with very low expectations based on my experience of GivEnergy customer support. Within an hour Ron had responded with some pin point advice, and after a few exchanges of E-Mails he had nailed the problem, enabling the combined efforts of my IT advisor and solar installer to resolve it and reconnect my Inverter. Thank you Solar Tech Support, and Ron in particular, for coming to the aid of a deserted and despondent GivEnergy customer. Expert, razor sharp advice and first class customer service, even though I wasn't officially a customer.

This company are a rare gem, I had a very unusual problem following a failed firmware upgrade on my GivEnergy kit. I then found out GivEnergy were in administration and had dismissed all their support staff! None of the usual fixes to try and restore my inverter comms would work, and I looked everywhere, forums, GivEnergy youtube support videos - even AI couldn't figure it out. My installer was talking about huge sums for system replacements, and being vague / evasive about if they'd even install replacement GivEnergy inverter. Enter Solar Tech Support, reassuring and knowledgeable from the very start, I've learnt loads about my solar system though the friendly chat while my engineer worked as he diagnosed the problem and figured out a fix procedure that I've not found anywhere else - amazing . If you need solar system repairs - especially if you like me have been left high and dry by GivEnergy, I cannot recommend this company enough. Give them a call.

Andy Thomas · Apr 2026 Trustpilot

I sent a message on their website regarding a problem I have on my Givenergy system. Although not supplied by Ronald, I thought it was worth an email. Within the hour on a Saturday, he phoned and we discussed the problem. He logged in remotely and gave excellent advice. I'm too far away for his on-site help but he did diagnose the problem and was happy also to chat through my thoughts about an upcoming solar/battery install I'm planning. Great bloke.... if only he was nearer!

Local Knowledge

Solar in Beverley — market town meets modern estate

Beverley is the gateway to the wider East Riding — a mix of Georgian and Victorian period properties in the town centre, post-war semis in the suburbs, and growing modern developments on the outskirts towards Woodmansey and Tickton. The rural properties dotted across the East Riding Wolds often have larger arrays than anything you'd find in the city, and they've been generating quietly for years with no one keeping an eye on them.

🏛️
Period properties with compact FiT-era arrays

Beverley's town centre is full of Georgian and Victorian homes where panels were fitted during the 2011–2015 FiT rush. Roof space is limited and orientations vary — many arrays are east-west splits rather than pure south-facing. The inverters on these systems are now 10–14 years old and reaching end of life. Replacement needs to account for the original system size and any shading from neighbouring buildings or the Minster.

🌾
Rural properties with larger systems

Detached homes, farmhouses, and conversions across the East Riding Wolds commonly run 4–6kW arrays — significantly bigger than typical urban installs. These properties often have unobstructed south-facing roofs with excellent generation potential, but the systems are frequently unmonitored. Owners know the panels are there but have no idea whether they're performing properly or if a fault has been silently reducing output for years.

🏗️
Modern estates around Pocklington and Market Weighton

New-build developments across the East Riding increasingly come with solar as standard — typically 3–4kW panel arrays with GivEnergy battery storage. The hardware is good, but developer handovers are often incomplete: monitoring not activated, CT clamps not configured, battery schedules left on factory defaults. These systems work but underperform until someone sets them up properly.

🔗
Extension of Hull coverage into the East Riding

We cover Hull and the surrounding area as part of our outer-ring coverage. Beverley extends that reach into the wider East Riding — from Cottingham and the western suburbs of Hull through to Market Weighton, Pocklington, and up towards Driffield. If you're anywhere in the East Riding, we can get to you.

Services

What we do in Beverley

Beverley properties often have well-specified solar installations — larger arrays on detached homes with good roof orientation. We run a remote diagnostic before every visit, so we arrive with the right parts and a clear repair plan. No call-out fees. All costs confirmed in writing.

Common Problems

What goes wrong with solar systems in Beverley

The East Riding has excellent solar conditions — flat terrain, minimal shading, long south-facing roof runs. But that doesn't mean the systems are trouble-free. These are the faults we see most often across the Beverley area.

1
Ageing string inverters on FiT-era period properties

Beverley's older homes were popular targets for FiT-era solar installations between 2011 and 2015. The panels themselves typically last 25+ years, but the inverters — usually Solis, Growatt, or Fronius string units — have a practical lifespan of 10–15 years. Many are now failing: blank displays, intermittent shutdowns, earth fault codes. Replacement is straightforward and your FiT payments continue unaffected. Inverter replacement →

2
Unmonitored rural systems generating below capacity

Larger arrays on detached and rural properties across the East Riding Wolds often have no active monitoring. Owners assume the system is working because they can see the inverter light is on, but a partial string failure, degraded panel, or connector fault can silently reduce output by 30–50% for years. A remote diagnostic checks generation data against what the system should be producing for its size and location. Remote diagnostic →

3
New-build battery systems left on factory defaults

Modern developments around Pocklington, Market Weighton, and the outskirts of Beverley increasingly include GivEnergy battery storage as standard. The developer installs the hardware, but rarely configures it for the homeowner's actual usage pattern or electricity tariff. CT clamps may be fitted but not calibrated, charge schedules are left on defaults, and eco mode settings that should prioritise self-consumption aren't enabled. We configure the system properly — usually remotely. GivEnergy support →

4
Bird nesting and debris under panels on rural roofs

Rural and semi-rural properties around the East Riding are particularly prone to pigeon and starling nesting under solar panels. The birds damage DC cable insulation, block ventilation gaps, and create hotspots on panels. Once the nesting material is cleared (by a specialist — we don't do the cleaning), we inspect the wiring, check for insulation damage, test string voltages, and repair any electrical faults the nesting has caused. Fault diagnosis →

Installer gone bust?

Your Beverley installer has closed — we take over from here

Many solar systems across the East Riding were installed by national companies operating through government energy efficiency schemes. Several of those companies have since gone into administration or been dissolved. If your installer has closed, your manufacturer warranties are still valid and the system can be fully supported — you just need someone independent to pick it up.

Installer not listed? The recovery process is the same regardless of who installed your system. Full installer gone bust guide or book a call.

GivEnergy

GivEnergy is the default battery choice across the East Riding

Almost every battery retrofit and new-build battery installation we see in the Beverley area uses GivEnergy hardware. It's good kit when configured properly — but many systems are running with default settings that don't match the homeowner's tariff or usage pattern. We also support every other brand you'll find in the area.

GivEnergy — battery diagnostics, configuration, firmware, warranty claims
Solis, Growatt, Fronius — string inverter replacement on older FiT systems
SolarEdge — optimiser replacement, inverter faults, monitoring issues
Sunsynk, Fox ESS, Huawei — all supported
19+ brands — independent, no manufacturer bias

New homeowner

Just bought a house in Beverley with solar panels?

The East Riding property market moves quickly and solar documentation rarely follows. Whether you've bought a period home in Beverley with an older FiT-era system or a modern estate property with GivEnergy battery storage, the situation is the same — you don't know what's on your roof, whether it's working properly, or who installed it. We visit, identify every component, check performance, set up monitoring in your name, and hand over a written report.

FAQ

Solar repair in Beverley — common questions

Beverley is about an hour from our base — similar to Hull. For urgent faults like a dead inverter or total generation loss, we can usually attend within two to three working days. Scheduled work such as inverter replacements and annual maintenance is typically within the same week. A free remote diagnostic can identify most faults same-day if you need answers before the on-site visit.
Yes. We cover Beverley and the wider East Riding including Market Weighton, Pocklington, Driffield, Hutton Cranswick, Bishop Burton, Walkington, Middleton-on-the-Wolds, and surrounding villages. Driffield is at the edge of our standard on-site range — for properties further north towards Bridlington, check our Bridlington coverage page. Remote diagnostics are available UK-wide regardless of location.
Inverter replacement starts £795, which includes the new unit, removal of the old one, installation, configuration, and commissioning. The exact price depends on the brand, model, and system size. Many East Riding properties have larger arrays than urban homes — 4–6kW systems are common on detached and farmhouse properties around Beverley, which sometimes need a higher-capacity replacement inverter. A free remote diagnostic confirms exactly what's needed before we quote. Inverter replacement service →
Yes. Beverley has a mix of older FiT-era systems on period properties and newer installs on modern estates — and documentation rarely transfers with the house sale. We visit, identify every component, check whether the system is generating properly, set up monitoring in your name, verify warranty status, and hand over a written report covering everything. If the previous owner's installer has closed down, we handle that recovery too. New homeowner walk-through →
