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!

⚡ Safety Warning
Do not open your inverter or interfere with DC cabling. Solar panels produce live DC voltage whenever exposed to light. Always use your DC isolator switch and contact a qualified solar engineer for hands-on fault diagnosis.
6-step monitoring gap diagnosis
Work through these steps to identify why Enlighten is showing gaps in your production data and whether the missing data can be recovered.
Identify the pattern and duration of the monitoring gap
Log into Enphase Enlighten and open the production history graph. Switch between day, week, and month views to identify when the gap started and whether it is continuous or intermittent.
A single continuous gap — data stops at a specific time and does not return — means the Envoy lost its internet connection at that point. Intermittent gaps — data appearing for a few hours then dropping out again — suggest an unstable WiFi connection or a PLC communication problem.
Check whether all panels are affected equally. If all panels show identical gaps, the Envoy is the issue. If individual panels have different gap patterns while the overall system reports normally, the problem is at the microinverter communication level, not the Envoy internet connection.
Check Envoy internet connectivity status
The Envoy must have a stable internet connection to push data to Enlighten. Check the Envoy network LED — solid green means connected. If the LED is off or flashing, the Envoy has no internet.
Common causes of Envoy connectivity loss: router reboot or replacement, WiFi password change, Envoy moved out of WiFi range, ISP outage, or router firmware update that changed network settings.
The Envoy stores up to seven days of production data locally and will backfill Enlighten once reconnected. Data older than seven days during the outage is permanently lost.
Assess WiFi signal strength at the Envoy location
WiFi signal degrades through walls, floors, and distance. If the Envoy is in a garage, loft, or utility cupboard far from the router, the signal may be marginal — strong enough to connect intermittently but not reliable enough to maintain a constant data stream.
Access the Envoy local interface via envoy.local on your home network and check the WiFi signal strength. If the signal is weak or fluctuating, consider:
Ethernet is always more reliable than WiFi for the Envoy. If an ethernet port is available near the Envoy, this is the recommended permanent fix for intermittent monitoring gaps.
Check for PLC communication drops between microinverters and Envoy
Even when the Envoy has a stable internet connection, individual microinverters may fail to report if the powerline communication (PLC) signal is disrupted. PLC uses the AC wiring to carry data — electrical noise from other devices can interfere.
Access the Envoy diagnostics at envoy.local and review the communication status for each microinverter. If specific microinverters show intermittent communication while the Envoy internet connection is stable, PLC interference is the cause.
Common PLC interference sources include AFCI breakers, LED drivers, battery chargers on the same circuit, and long cable runs. An Enphase PLC bridge device or a communication filter on the offending circuit may resolve the issue.
Verify Envoy firmware is up to date
Older Envoy firmware versions have known bugs that cause intermittent reporting gaps. The Envoy should update automatically when connected to the internet, but the process can fail if the connection is unstable — creating a circular problem.
Check the current firmware version in Enlighten under the Envoy device details page. If the firmware is significantly out of date, a manual update via the Installer Toolkit app may be needed. Some firmware versions introduced improved PLC algorithms that resolved gap issues on affected systems.
Book a remote diagnostic if gaps persist
If the Envoy is online, WiFi signal is adequate, and PLC communication appears normal but Enlighten still shows gaps, the issue may be more complex — a failing Envoy, an intermittent router issue, or a PLC problem that only manifests under specific load conditions.
STS can analyse your Enlighten data history, correlate gap patterns with Envoy communication logs, and identify the root cause remotely. We also determine whether lost data can be recovered from the Envoy local buffer or whether it is permanently missing.
Why Enphase monitoring gaps matter more than they seem
A monitoring gap in Enlighten does not mean the system stopped generating — in almost every case, the microinverters continued producing normally and the house continued using the solar power. The gap is purely a data recording issue. However, monitoring gaps have real consequences that extend beyond missing graphs.
Feed-in tariff (FIT) and Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) payments rely on generation data. If your meter is estimated rather than read manually, gaps in Enlighten can make it harder to verify actual generation figures. Warranty claims for individual microinverters require production history to demonstrate the failure timeline — missing data makes the claim harder to support. And if you are trying to diagnose an underperformance issue, holes in the production data make it impossible to establish when the problem started.
The seven-day local buffer on the Envoy means you have a limited window to act. If you notice a monitoring gap within the first week, reconnecting the Envoy will recover the data automatically. After seven days, the buffer is overwritten and the data is gone. This is why persistent connectivity — ideally via ethernet rather than WiFi — is worth setting up properly from the start.
Common monitoring gap patterns and causes
Envoy lost its internet connection — router change, WiFi password update, or ISP outage. Reconnect the Envoy. Data within the seven-day buffer will backfill automatically.
Weak or unstable WiFi signal. The Envoy connects, uploads some data, loses the connection, reconnects, and repeats. Improve WiFi signal or switch to ethernet.
PLC communication issue between those specific microinverters and the Envoy. Electrical noise or long cable runs are interfering with the data signal. A PLC bridge may be needed. See also our panel not reporting guide.
This is normal behaviour — Enphase microinverters shut down at night when there is no solar production. The Envoy may also enter a low-power state. Gaps in the overnight hours are expected and do not indicate a fault.
The Envoy is still trying to connect to the old WiFi network. Reconfigure via the Installer Toolkit app or connect via ethernet. See our Envoy WiFi setup guide.
