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!

About Duracell Energy Home systems

Duracell Energy is a UK market brand offering an integrated home energy storage solution under the well-known Duracell brand. The Duracell Energy Home combines a hybrid solar inverter with modular battery storage in a single system managed through the Duracell Energy app. The system handles solar generation, battery charge/discharge, and grid connection — all displayed in the mobile app.

As a relatively new entrant to the UK market, firmware updates are common and can occasionally affect app connectivity and system behavior. EPS (Emergency Power Supply) is available but requires correct wiring to a dedicated backup circuit and must be enabled in system settings. Battery isolation alarms and communication faults are logged in the app alarm history.

If you're searching for Duracell Energy battery not charging, Duracell Energy Home fault, Duracell Energy app offline, Duracell Energy EPS not working, or Duracell Energy battery communication error, STS provides independent diagnostic and repair support across the UK — not affiliated with Duracell Energy Ltd or your installer. We diagnose at the engineering level using app data, screenshots, and on-site testing where needed.

Compare Duracell Energy against other brands: Duracell vs GivEnergy, Duracell vs AlphaESS, Duracell vs Fox ESS, Duracell vs Sigenergy.

FAQ

Duracell Energy questions answered

The most common causes are an incorrect operating mode in the Duracell Energy app, a battery communication fault between the battery modules and the hybrid inverter, or a grid protection event preventing normal operation. Check the Duracell Energy app for any active alarms or fault notifications. If a communication alarm is shown, a full power cycle of the system (inverter off, battery off, wait 60 seconds, battery on first, then inverter) resolves most transient faults.
Duracell Energy EPS backup requires the backup circuit to be connected to the correct EPS output terminal and EPS mode to be enabled in the system settings. If the battery's state of charge was below the minimum EPS threshold at the time of the outage, backup mode will not activate. Check the Duracell Energy app history for the battery SoC at the time of the power cut. If SoC was sufficient and EPS still didn't activate, the EPS wiring configuration or settings need investigation.
The Duracell Energy app shows offline when the system's communication module has lost its internet connection. This typically happens after a router change, WiFi password update, or broadband interruption. Power cycling the hybrid inverter (AC isolator off, wait 30 seconds, back on) usually restores the connection. If the system remains offline, the WiFi settings in the inverter may need to be reconfigured — contact STS for remote support with this process.
Yes. The Duracell Energy app logs fault events and alarm history, which we review remotely to identify the cause of battery, EPS, or monitoring faults. In most cases, a remote diagnostic is sufficient to determine whether the issue is a configuration fault (correctable remotely), a transient communication error (resolved by power cycle), or a hardware fault requiring a site visit. We provide a written report with cause and recommended action after every diagnostic.
EPS backup in Duracell Energy requires two steps: (1) Wiring — your backup load (typically critical circuits) must be connected to the dedicated EPS output terminal on the inverter, separate from the main load connection. (2) Settings — EPS mode must be enabled in the Duracell Energy app system settings and configured to activate during grid outage. If both are correct but EPS still doesn't work during a power cut, check the app history for battery SoC at the time — if below minimum threshold, EPS won't activate. Book a diagnostic if in doubt.
