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.

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!

Leeds context

Why Leeds has so many GivEnergy systems — and so many needing support

Three things happened at once in Leeds. The energy crisis pushed thousands of homeowners to add battery storage to existing solar systems — and GivEnergy was the go-to brand for retrofits. At the same time, new-build developments around South Bank, Kirkstall Forge, and the LS postcode fringes started shipping with GivEnergy All-in-One units as standard. And national installation chains flooded the city to meet demand, fitted systems quickly, and then scaled back — leaving homeowners with GivEnergy hardware they can't configure, monitoring they can't access, and no one local to call.

Energy crisis retrofit wave (2022–23)

GivEnergy 5.2kWh and 8.2kWh batteries added to existing FiT-era solar systems across Headingley, Roundhay, Horsforth, and Morley. Many were AC-coupled to older string inverters — creating charge flow and CT clamp challenges that the original installers didn't always resolve before moving on to the next job.

New-build and Gen 3 systems

GivEnergy Gen 3 hybrid inverters and All-in-One units on newer installs around Horsforth, Guiseley, and Otley. These are modern, capable systems — but Gen 3 firmware is still maturing and we regularly see charge schedule behaviour that differs from the Gen 2 units homeowners researched before buying.

Installer aftercare gap

Leeds attracted every major national installer during the battery boom. Many have since scaled back, stopped answering support calls, or closed entirely. Solarplicity's former Leeds customers also discovered GivEnergy systems on council-scheme properties they inherited. The hardware works — the support relationship doesn't.

Tariff mismatch on most systems

A huge number of GivEnergy systems in Leeds are still running default settings — or settings configured for a tariff the homeowner has since left. Octopus Flux, Intelligent Go, and Agile all need different charge/discharge schedules. If your battery charges at the wrong time or doesn't discharge during peak, the configuration hasn't been updated.

Common faults

GivEnergy problems we fix most often in Leeds

These are the faults we diagnose on Leeds GivEnergy systems every week. Most are resolved remotely. Each links to a detailed guide.

1
Battery not charging from solar

The single most common fault on Leeds GivEnergy systems. Solar panels generating but the battery stays empty. On retrofit installs (battery added to an existing system), the cause is almost always a CT clamp installed in the wrong direction or eco mode left disabled after commissioning. On hybrid systems, it's usually a charge target or SOC floor misconfiguration. Resolved remotely via the portal.

2
Importing from grid with battery full

Battery shows 100% but the house pulls from the grid instead of the battery. On Leeds systems this is overwhelmingly a CT clamp direction issue — the clamp tells the inverter which way electricity flows, and if it's backwards the system thinks the house doesn't need power. One of the fastest fixes we do — usually resolved in the diagnostic session itself.

3
Battery not charging overnight on cheap rate

Charge schedule set but the battery doesn't fill overnight. Common on Leeds systems where homeowners have switched to Octopus Go or Intelligent Go after the GivEnergy system was installed — the charge window needs updating to match the new tariff's cheap-rate hours. Also caused by firmware updates resetting the charge schedule to defaults.

4
Portal showing offline

GivEnergy app or portal says the system is offline. The system is almost certainly still working — the WiFi dongle has lost its router connection. Common after BT or Sky router restarts, broadband provider changes, or when the router assigns the dongle a new IP. We reconnect it remotely or walk you through the dongle reset process.

5
Click of death — inverter relay failure

Rapid clicking sound from the inverter, system fails to connect to the grid, generation stops. A known hardware fault on some GivEnergy units — the internal relay has failed and needs physical repair or inverter replacement. Covered by GivEnergy's 12-year warranty in most cases. We handle the full claim process including on-site swap.

Configuration

GivEnergy not saving you money? It's probably the settings

A correctly configured GivEnergy system on Octopus Flux in Leeds should be saving £800–1,200 a year on a typical household. If yours isn't anywhere near that, the charge schedule, eco mode, export limit, or tariff integration is wrong. We audit the entire configuration and optimise it for your specific tariff and usage pattern — remotely, in a single session.

Charge schedule — aligned to your tariff's cheap-rate window
Eco mode — enabled and configured correctly
Export limit — set to match your DNO approval
CT clamp direction — verified correct for your consumer unit
Installer gone?

Your GivEnergy installer in Leeds isn't answering — we take over

Leeds saw a wave of GivEnergy installations from national chains and local companies during the battery boom. Many have since scaled back, stopped doing aftercare, or closed entirely. Solarplicity's former Leeds customers have a unique version of this problem — GivEnergy systems inherited from council-scheme properties with monitoring locked to an account that no longer exists. Whatever the situation, the GivEnergy 12-year warranty is with the manufacturer, not the installer. We handle the full transition.

01
Monitoring transfer

Move the GivEnergy system from the installer's portal account to your own homeowner account. Full data history preserved. Monitoring setup guide →

02
Configuration audit

Check every setting — charge schedule, eco mode, export limit, CT clamp direction — and optimise for your current tariff and usage. Many installer-commissioned systems were left on defaults.

03
Warranty verification

Confirm your GivEnergy warranty status directly with the manufacturer. If you have a covered fault, we handle the claim. GivEnergy warranty details →

FAQ

GivEnergy support in Leeds — common questions

A free remote diagnostic identifies most GivEnergy faults without a site visit — battery charging issues, configuration problems, portal offline, and firmware faults are almost always resolved remotely. On-site repair starts from £245 for hardware faults like relay failures or CAN communication issues. Inverter replacement starts £795 including supply, installation, and commissioning. Leeds is our home base so there is no additional travel charge. Full pricing →
Possibly not. During 2022 and 2023, installers across Leeds fitted GivEnergy batteries at pace to meet demand. Many systems were commissioned with default settings rather than being configured for the homeowner's specific tariff, usage pattern, and export arrangements. If your battery charges overnight but you are not on a cheap-rate tariff, or if it does not discharge during peak hours, or if you are importing from the grid with a full battery, the configuration almost certainly needs adjusting. A remote diagnostic checks all of this and optimises the settings in a single session.
Yes. Many GivEnergy systems in Leeds were installed by companies that have since closed, stopped doing aftercare, or are unresponsive. Solarplicity customers in particular were left without support when the company was dissolved in November 2023. We take over the full relationship — monitoring transfer to your own account, warranty verification, configuration audit, and ongoing maintenance. GivEnergy Ltd entered administration on 9 April 2026 and no further hardware warranties will be honoured by GivEnergy Ltd — but alternative routes (installer cover, IBG, Section 75, MCS Consumer Code) may still apply. Installer gone bust guide →
At STS Solar Tech Support, the most common GivEnergy faults we fix in Leeds are: battery not charging from solar (usually eco mode or CT clamp direction), battery not discharging during peak hours (charge schedule or tariff settings), portal showing offline (WiFi dongle disconnection after router changes), system importing from grid with a full battery (CT clamp reversed or eco mode disabled), and GivEnergy settings changing after firmware updates. On the hardware side, the click of death relay fault and CAN communication errors are the most common reasons for an on-site visit.
