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
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.
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.
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!

Solar in Leeds — the biggest and most varied install base in our area
Leeds has more domestic solar installations than any other city in our coverage area. The variety is huge: older FiT-era systems on terraced streets, mid-range arrays on suburban semis, and modern premium installs with battery storage and smart energy management. Leeds was also major Solarplicity territory — thousands of their customers here were left without support when the company collapsed.
Victorian terraces in Headingley and Hyde Park typically have compact 2–3kW arrays squeezed onto narrow south-facing roofs. Suburban semis in Roundhay, Horsforth, and Morley run 3–4kW FiT-era systems. Detached homes in Alwoodley, Adel, and Otley increasingly have modern 5–8kW systems with SolarEdge optimisers and GivEnergy batteries. New builds around South Bank and Kirkstall Forge come with solar as standard.
Solarplicity was a combined energy supplier and solar installer that went into administration before being dissolved in November 2023. They left over 7,500 customers nationally without support — a significant number in Leeds. If you have a Solarplicity system, your manufacturer warranties are still valid, the monitoring data is recoverable, and we can take over full support.
Leeds has a higher concentration of SolarEdge and Enphase systems than most of our coverage area. SolarEdge uses DC optimisers on each panel — great for performance on partially shaded roofs, but the optimisers can fail individually. Enphase uses microinverters — one per panel instead of a central inverter. Both require specialist diagnostic approaches that differ from standard string inverter systems.
GivEnergy dominates the retrofit battery market in Leeds, but we also see Sunsynk, Tesla Powerwall, and Fox ESS on newer full-system installs. Battery systems add complexity — charge schedules, tariff integration, CT clamp configuration, and firmware management all need to be right for the system to save you money rather than cost you.
What we do in Leeds
Leeds has the widest mix of system brands in our area — SolarEdge, Solis, GivEnergy, Enphase, and legacy installs from Solarplicity. We remote-diagnose before every visit, so we arrive with the right parts and a clear plan. No call-out fees. Pricing confirmed in writing.

What goes wrong with solar systems in Leeds
Leeds has the widest range of system types in our area, which means we see the widest range of faults. These are the most common.
SolarEdge systems are common on newer Leeds installs, especially on properties with partial shading — terraces in Headingley, tree-lined streets in Roundhay. Each panel has its own DC optimiser, and when one fails, that panel drops out of production. The SolarEdge monitoring portal flags the exact panel, but diagnosing whether it's the optimiser, the panel, or the wiring requires specialist tools. We carry replacement optimisers and can usually swap same-visit. Fault diagnosis →
Solarplicity left thousands of Leeds customers with locked monitoring accounts, missing MCS certificates, and no route to warranty claims. The systems themselves are usually still generating — they just have no one managing them. We handle full system recovery: monitoring transfer, documentation rebuild, warranty verification, and fault diagnosis. The manufacturer warranties are separate from Solarplicity and may still be valid. Solarplicity guide →
A common complaint on GivEnergy and Sunsynk battery installs across Leeds. The system is supposed to store solar generation and cheap-rate electricity, then use it during peak hours. When it imports from the grid instead, the cause is almost always configuration: CT clamp direction, eco mode settings, charge schedule timing, or a firmware update that has reset values. We diagnose and fix this remotely. GivEnergy support →
Older Leeds systems from the 2012–2015 FiT era are reaching the point where string inverters fail. Symptoms: blank display, no generation, recurring fault codes. These inverters are past economic repair — replacement is the route. We stock the most common models and can usually complete a swap in a single visit. Your FiT payments continue unaffected by an inverter change. Inverter replacement →
Your Leeds installer has closed — we take over from here
Leeds has been hit harder than most cities by installer closures. Solarplicity alone left thousands of local customers without support. If your installer has gone into liquidation or stopped trading, we handle the full recovery — monitoring transfer, documentation, warranty claims, fault diagnosis, and ongoing maintenance.
Dissolved November 2023. Combined energy supplier and solar installer. 7,500+ customers nationally — major Leeds presence.
Solarplicity guide →Administration 2015. Government scheme installs across Leeds. Fronius inverters now 10+ years old and failing.
Mark Group guide →Sheffield-based. Voluntary liquidation January 2026. Operated across Yorkshire including Leeds via ECO and government schemes.
All Seasons guide →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, SolarEdge, Enphase — we fix them all in Leeds
Leeds has the most diverse brand mix in our coverage area. GivEnergy dominates battery retrofits. SolarEdge is common on newer panel-level systems. Enphase microinverters appear on premium installs. Each brand has different diagnostic methods, firmware management, and warranty processes — we know them all.
Just bought a house in Leeds with solar panels?
Leeds has the widest variety of solar installations in our coverage area — everything from compact FiT-era arrays on Victorian terraces to modern SolarEdge and Enphase systems on new builds. When a property changes hands, the documentation rarely comes with it. We visit, identify every component (even multi-brand setups), check optimiser-level performance where applicable, set up monitoring in your name, and hand over a written report.
