GivEnergy · Warranty position

The GivEnergy warranty is, in practical terms, no longer being honoured.

GivEnergy Ltd entered administration on 9 April 2026. The administrator has confirmed the company has ceased trading and that no further hardware warranties will be honoured. Your installed system still works — what you have lost is the manufacturer-backed replacement route if something fails. Below is what may still be claimable, and how STS can help.

Need a fault diagnosed?

Your GivEnergy system still operates regardless of the warranty position. If something has stopped working, an STS remote diagnostic can identify the cause and quote a repair — on a paid basis, since the manufacturer route is closed.

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.

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!

The reality

There isn't a manufacturer warranty to fall back on anymore

GivEnergy hardware came with a 12-year manufacturer warranty as standard. That warranty was issued by GivEnergy Ltd. With GivEnergy Ltd in administration as of 9 April 2026 and the administrator having confirmed the company has ceased trading, the warranty is, in practical terms, no longer being honoured.

The warranty document itself is technically a debt of GivEnergy Ltd, but recovering on it as an individual homeowner — through the administration process — is effectively impossible. You sit in the queue of unsecured creditors. Any payout would be a fraction of the warranty value, paid out only after the administration completes.

What that means for you: the hardware still works (it runs on locally-stored firmware), and most faults are still repairable on a paid basis. What you have lost is the manufacturer-backed free-replacement route. We are not going to dress this up.

Full administration facts and sources here →

Alternative routes

Routes that may still produce a result

Depending on how you bought the system and what cover sat alongside the manufacturer warranty, one of these may still be claimable. None of them are STS routes — we don't sell warranty cover — but we can supply the technical fault evidence each of these processes needs.

Route 1

Installer workmanship cover / IBG

If your installer offered a workmanship guarantee or an insurance-backed guarantee (IBG) at point of installation, that cover may still apply even though the manufacturer is in administration. Check your original paperwork — IBG certificates are usually issued by a third party (e.g. QANW, GGFi, HIES) and are independent of both your installer and GivEnergy.

Route 2

Section 75 (credit card / regulated credit)

If any part of the purchase was paid for on a credit card, or via a regulated credit agreement, Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 makes the credit provider jointly liable with the supplier for breach of contract. With GivEnergy gone, the credit provider remains. Contact your card issuer or finance provider; they will ask for evidence of the fault — which is where STS can help.

Route 3

MCS Consumer Code

If your installer was MCS-certified, the MCS Consumer Code gives you a complaints route covering installer-side issues. It does not cover manufacturer warranty as such, but if the failure ties back to installation quality, it is a path worth knowing about.

Route 4

Consumer Rights Act 2015

Independent of any manufacturer warranty, the Consumer Rights Act gives you statutory protection that the goods you bought were of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose. The remedy is claimable against the retailer who sold you the system (typically your installer) — not against GivEnergy. Useful when the installer is still trading.

Not legal advice. We are engineers, not solicitors. Citizens Advice can talk you through any of these routes for free. If a route looks promising and you need technical fault evidence to support it, that is the part we can write.
What STS can and cannot do

What STS can do

Diagnose the fault remotely and tell you what is actually wrong
Write an independent fault report that any of the routes above can use as evidence
Quote a paid repair where the route doesn't produce a result, or you want to skip the paperwork
Continue servicing your GivEnergy hardware indefinitely — independent of the manufacturer

What STS cannot do

Submit a warranty claim to GivEnergy — there is no functional process anymore
Honour the original 12-year manufacturer warranty in any sense — we did not issue it
Provide legal advice on Section 75, IBG, MCS or Consumer Rights Act claims
Recover the value of a warranty as such — only the value of a working system
FAQ

GivEnergy warranty — common questions after the administration

In practical terms, no. GivEnergy Ltd (the entity that issued and underwrote the warranty) entered administration on 9 April 2026. The administrator has confirmed the company has ceased trading and that no further hardware warranties will be honoured. The warranty document you were given is still legally a debt of GivEnergy Ltd, but with the company in administration, recovering on it is effectively impossible for individual homeowners.
Several routes may still produce a result depending on how the system was bought. Installer workmanship cover or insurance-backed guarantee (IBG) if your installer offered one. Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act if you paid by credit card (or a regulated credit agreement) — the card provider becomes jointly liable for the manufacturer. MCS Consumer Code complaints if the installation was MCS-certified. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 gives statutory protection against goods that are not of satisfactory quality, claimable against the retailer/installer. Each route has its own evidence requirements.
Yes. Your inverter and battery run on firmware stored on the units themselves. Charging, discharging, EPS backup, and the BMS safety system all continue to operate regardless of GivEnergy Ltd's status. What you have lost is the ability to claim free replacement of failed hardware — the equipment itself is unaffected.
No — and nobody else can either. The warranty was a contractual relationship between you and GivEnergy Ltd. With the company in administration, open claims sit in the queue of unsecured creditors and would only pay out a fraction (if anything) once the administration completes. What STS can do is diagnose the hardware fault you originally raised, advise on whether it is repairable, and — if so — quote the repair on a paid basis.
Almost certainly not. The hardware is working and will keep working. Replacing a functioning system because the manufacturer warranty has lapsed is rarely economic — the replacement cost dwarfs any plausible repair cost. Run the system, keep it monitored, and only act if something actually fails. If it does, the repair route is usually cheaper than wholesale replacement.

GivEnergy fault — and no manufacturer warranty to fall back on

If your system has developed a fault since 9 April 2026, the warranty route is closed, but the repair route usually isn't. Most GivEnergy faults are configuration or firmware issues that don't need hardware replacement at all. Even where hardware is at fault, repair is usually cheaper than replacement.
