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 Sheffield — terrain, shading, and a city full of panels
Sheffield has a huge residential solar install base spanning every era — from early FiT systems on social housing to modern premium installs with battery storage on the western suburbs. The city's steep topography creates unique challenges: properties in the same postcode can have wildly different solar yields depending on hillside orientation and overshadowing. We've worked on systems across the whole city and understand how Sheffield's geography affects performance.
Sheffield is built across the valleys of the Don, Sheaf, Rivelin, Loxley, and Porter rivers. Steep hillsides mean some roofs face directly south with no obstructions while others look north into adjacent hillsides. Tree cover along valley slopes adds seasonal shading that wasn't there when the system was installed. If your generation has dropped, orientation and shading analysis is the first step — a remote diagnostic can identify whether it's geography, hardware, or both.
All Seasons Energy was based at Meadowbrook Park, Halfway (S20 3PJ) and went into voluntary liquidation in January 2026. They installed solar, heat pumps, and insulation across Sheffield and wider Yorkshire — including work through ECO and government-backed schemes. If you have an All Seasons system, the manufacturer warranties are still valid. We handle full recovery including monitoring, documentation, and warranty claims.
The range is huge. Stone-built terraces in Crookes and Walkley with compact 2kW arrays. 1930s semis in Hillsborough and Woodseats running 3–4kW. Detached homes in Dore, Totley, and Ecclesall with 6–8kW systems and battery storage. New estates around Crystal Peaks and Waverley with solar as standard. Each type has different hardware, different fault patterns, and different maintenance needs.
Sheffield's western suburbs — Dore, Totley, Ecclesall, Ranmoor — have some of the highest battery uptake in our area. GivEnergy dominates, but we also see Sunsynk, Fox ESS, and Tesla Powerwall. Battery systems need configuration to match your tariff and usage patterns — when they're set up wrong, they cost you money instead of saving it.
What we do in Sheffield
Sheffield systems range from early FiT-era installs in the suburbs to newer hybrid setups across the city. We run a remote diagnostic before every visit — checking monitoring portals, fault logs, and generation data — so we arrive prepared. No call-out fees. All costs confirmed before work starts.
On-site fault diagnosis and repair — inverter failures, generation drops, grid faults, tripped DC isolators, battery errors. From £245.
Fault diagnosis →Old inverter removed, new one fitted, configured, and tested. We handle all major brands and carry common replacement units. £795.
Inverter replacement →Sheffield's steep terrain means overhead power lines — and more frequent outages in exposed areas like Stannington and Hillsborough. EPS keeps your essentials running from battery storage.
EPS installation →Full system health check — inverter inspection, generation analysis, wiring check, firmware updates, and a written condition report. From £195.
Annual maintenance →Moved into a house with solar on one of Sheffield's hillside streets? We survey the full system, assess shading impact, set up monitoring, and hand you a written report. From £295.
On-site walk-through →Remote analysis via your monitoring portal — generation trends, fault codes, battery behaviour, firmware status. Written diagnostic report usually within hours. £75.
Remote diagnostic →What goes wrong with solar systems in Sheffield
Sheffield's terrain and install history create a distinctive set of faults. Here's what we see most.
The most Sheffield-specific fault we see. Steep hillside properties where the system performed well for years can lose significant output as trees grow taller on adjacent land, or as the seasons shift shadow lines across valley slopes. On string inverter systems, shading on one panel drags down the entire string. On SolarEdge or microinverter systems, the impact is isolated to the shaded panel. A remote diagnostic comparing seasonal output data usually identifies whether shading is the issue. Remote diagnostic →
All Seasons Energy was Sheffield's own solar installer — based at Halfway — and their liquidation in January 2026 left a significant number of local customers without monitoring access, warranty support, or anyone to call for faults. We handle the full recovery: monitoring transfer, documentation rebuild, warranty verification, and ongoing maintenance. Their systems are relatively recent with modern hardware. All Seasons guide →
Older Sheffield systems from the 2012–2015 FiT era are reaching the point where string inverters fail. Common across terraces in Crookes and Walkley, semis in Hillsborough and Woodseats. Symptoms: blank display, no generation, recurring fault codes. Replacement is the route — these inverters are past the point of economic repair. We stock common models and can usually swap same-visit. FiT payments continue unaffected. Inverter replacement →
Sheffield's western suburbs have high battery uptake, but many systems aren't configured to maximise savings. Common issues: the battery charges from solar but doesn't charge from the grid overnight on cheap-rate, or it discharges during off-peak hours when grid electricity is already cheap. Correct tariff integration — matching charge windows to your actual Octopus/E.ON/British Gas schedule — makes a significant difference. We configure this remotely. GivEnergy support →
All Seasons Energy was Sheffield's — and now they're gone
All Seasons Energy was based at Halfway in Sheffield and served customers across the city and beyond. Their liquidation in January 2026 is the most recent major installer closure affecting Sheffield. Mark Group also operated heavily here through government schemes. We handle full system recovery for customers of any closed installer.
Sheffield-based. Voluntary liquidation January 2026. Solar, heat pumps, and insulation. ECO and government schemes.
All Seasons guide →Administration 2015. Government scheme installs across Sheffield. Fronius inverters now 10+ years old.
Mark Group guide →Doncaster-based. Voluntary liquidation December 2025. Served customers across South Yorkshire including Sheffield.
