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!

How GivEnergy works

Your GivEnergy system is tied to three parties

Unlike simpler solar systems, GivEnergy operates a platform model. Every system on the GivEnergy portal is linked to a homeowner account and an installer account. Both are connected to GivEnergy centrally. This three-way relationship is how GivEnergy manages warranties, firmware updates, fault alerts, and remote support.

👤
You (homeowner)

Your portal account at givenergy.cloud. You see live data, change schedules, and manage battery settings. This is the consumer-facing account.

🔧
Your installer

The company that installed the system is registered on GivEnergy's platform as the responsible installer. They receive fault alerts, can access your system remotely, and act as your first line of technical support.

GivEnergy

The manufacturer. They host the cloud portal, manage firmware updates, process warranty claims, and coordinate between homeowner and installer. They sit at the centre of the relationship.

Why this matters: When your installer goes bust, one leg of this triangle disappears. GivEnergy still holds the system on their platform, but there is no active installer receiving fault alerts or providing support. Your homeowner account may still work — but nobody is watching the system for you. Faults go unnoticed, warranty claims have no installer to process them, and firmware updates may stall.
What you lose
When the installer disappears

What breaks when your GivEnergy installer goes bust

Your system keeps generating — the hardware does not depend on the installer being active. But the support structure around it collapses, and problems that would have been caught early can go unnoticed for months.

1
No one is monitoring your system for faults

When an installer is active on the GivEnergy platform, they receive automatic alerts if your inverter goes offline, if generation drops, or if fault codes appear. Without an active installer, these alerts go nowhere. A fault that would have been caught in hours can run for weeks or months.

2
Portal account may be locked under the installer

Many installers registered customer systems under their own company account rather than creating individual homeowner accounts. If the company no longer exists, you may not be able to log in at all — your system is visible only under a dead company account.

3
Warranty claims have no installer to process them

GivEnergy's warranty process typically runs through the installer. If a component fails and your installer no longer exists, you need an active registered installer on the account to raise the claim and coordinate the replacement with GivEnergy.

4
No one to call for technical support

If your system starts behaving oddly — battery not charging, export dropping, fault codes flashing — the installer would have been your first call. Without one, you are left trying to navigate GivEnergy's direct support as an unassigned homeowner, which is slower and less effective.

5
System may miss firmware updates

Some GivEnergy firmware updates are pushed through the installer relationship. Without an active installer, your system may fall behind on updates that fix bugs, improve battery management, or patch security issues.

STS takes over
Installer replacement

We become your registered GivEnergy installer

STS takes over the installer role on the GivEnergy platform. We handle the transfer with GivEnergy, get you a homeowner portal account under your own email, and register as your active installer — restoring the full three-way relationship so your system is properly supported again.

What we do

1
Handle the account transfer with GivEnergy

We contact GivEnergy directly, provide the documentation they need (your serial number, proof of ownership, Companies House evidence if the installer is dissolved), and manage the process until the system is released from the old installer account. You do not need to chase GivEnergy yourself.

2
Set up your own homeowner portal account

Once the transfer is complete, you get a GivEnergy portal account under your own email address with full access to live data, schedules, battery settings, and system configuration. Your system, your account, your control.

3
Register as your installer on the GivEnergy platform

STS is added as the registered installer for your system. This restores the installer layer — we have visibility of your system, receive fault alerts from GivEnergy, and can access your system remotely for diagnostics and support.

4
Run a system health check

Once we have access, we review your system configuration, check for active fault codes, verify the dongle is connected and reporting correctly, review battery health, and confirm that charge schedules and export limits are set correctly for your tariff. If something needs fixing, we flag it immediately.

What you need to provide

Inverter serial number — on the label on the side or bottom of the GivEnergy inverter. Take a photo.

Proof of property ownership — completion letter, Land Registry document, tenancy agreement, or recent utility bill at the address.

Installer name (if known) — so we can check Companies House status and include dissolution evidence with the transfer request.

Any documentation you have — MCS certificate, original invoice, commissioning report, warranty documents. More evidence strengthens the case with GivEnergy.

Ongoing monitoring
Health plan

Keep your system watched — the STS health plan

Once STS is registered as your installer, you can opt for the health plan for constant monitoring and proactive fault notification. Your system is watched so you do not have to be.

1
Constant remote monitoring

We monitor your GivEnergy system through the installer portal. If the inverter goes offline, if generation drops below expected levels, or if fault codes appear — we know about it, usually before you do.

2
Automatic fault alerts and notification

When a fault is detected, we contact you with a clear explanation of what has happened, how serious it is, and what the next steps are. No jargon, no guesswork — just a plain message telling you whether you need to do something or whether we can resolve it remotely.

3
Early detection saves money

A system generating at 60% capacity because of a tripped string, a failing battery module, or a disconnected CT clamp can cost hundreds in lost generation and missed export payments before you notice it on your electricity bill. Monitoring catches these issues early — often within hours rather than months.

4
Warranty support when you need it

As your registered installer, STS can raise warranty claims directly with GivEnergy on your behalf. If a component fails within warranty, we handle the claim, coordinate the replacement, and make sure it is resolved — rather than you trying to navigate GivEnergy's process alone as an unassigned homeowner.

5
Configuration reviews and seasonal adjustments

We periodically review your system configuration to make sure charge schedules, battery settings, and export limits are still optimal for your tariff and usage pattern. If you change energy supplier or tariff, we can adjust your settings remotely.

The health plan is optional. The one-off installer transfer and account recovery service works without it. But if your installer has gone bust, you have already experienced what happens when nobody is watching your system. The health plan makes sure that does not happen again.
DIY option
Do it yourself

Transferring the account yourself

If you prefer to handle the transfer directly with GivEnergy rather than using STS, here is the process. Be aware that installer-linked accounts can be more difficult to transfer than standard homeowner accounts — GivEnergy may attempt to contact the dissolved company before proceeding.

1
Find the inverter serial number

On the label on the side or bottom of the GivEnergy inverter. Take a photo — you will need this for every communication with GivEnergy.

2
Check the installer's company status on Companies House

Search for the installer at gov.uk/get-information-about-a-company. If the company is dissolved or struck off, screenshot the entry — include it in your transfer request to GivEnergy as evidence the installer no longer exists.

3
Prepare proof of property ownership

Completion letter from your solicitor, Land Registry document, tenancy agreement, or recent utility bill. GivEnergy requires this before transferring any system.

4
Email GivEnergy support with everything in one message

Contact GivEnergy via givenergy.cloud. Include your serial number, proof of ownership, Companies House evidence, your full name, property address, and the email you want the new account created under. A complete first email avoids back-and-forth.

5
Follow up after one week if no response

Installer-linked transfers can take longer than standard ones. Reply to your original email — do not open a new ticket. If still stuck after two follow-ups, get in touch with STS and we can take over from wherever you left off.

Do not factory reset the inverter. A factory reset wipes all configuration — charge schedules, export limits, EPS settings — and does not help with account access. The monitoring account issue is administrative and must be resolved through GivEnergy support, not hardware intervention.
FAQ

GivEnergy monitoring transfer questions

Your system continues to generate and operate normally — the hardware does not depend on the installer. But you lose the support layer: no one monitors for faults, no one receives alerts if the inverter goes offline, and warranty claims become harder to process. STS can take over as your registered installer to restore this support.
Yes. STS can be registered as the installer on your GivEnergy system through GivEnergy's platform. This gives us visibility of your system for monitoring, fault alerts, and remote diagnostics. We handle the transfer process with GivEnergy directly so you do not need to navigate their support yourself.
The health plan provides constant remote monitoring of your GivEnergy system. We receive automatic alerts if the inverter goes offline, if generation drops, or if fault codes appear. We contact you with a clear explanation and next steps. The plan also includes periodic configuration reviews, warranty claim support, and seasonal schedule adjustments.
Standard transfers typically take 2–5 working days once GivEnergy has all the documentation. Installer-linked accounts where the company has been dissolved can take longer if GivEnergy needs to verify company status. STS handles all follow-up so you do not need to chase GivEnergy yourself.
In most cases no. Historical data is stored on GivEnergy's servers and transfers with the system. Data from periods when the dongle was offline will be missing as it was never uploaded. If the account was locked for months before the transfer, there will be a gap in the records for that period.
