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!

Most common cause: A new router, ISP switch, or WiFi password change breaks the stored WiFi credentials inside the inverter. The inverter keeps generating electricity — only monitoring is affected. Reconnecting takes 5–10 minutes with a phone and the SolarEdge Go app.
6-step WiFi reconnection guide
Work through these steps in order. You need a phone with SolarEdge Go installed and physical access to the inverter. No tools or qualifications required.
Confirm the inverter has lost WiFi
Check monitoring.solaredge.com — if the last communication timestamp is more than a few hours old, the inverter is offline. The Communication LED on the front of the inverter (middle LED) should be solid green when connected. If it is off or flashing, the WiFi connection has been lost.
No network connection at all. The inverter is not attempting to connect — the stored WiFi credentials are likely wrong or the WiFi module has no network to reach.
The inverter is trying to connect but failing. This usually means it can see the network but the password is wrong, or the router is rejecting the connection.
Check whether the inverter uses WiFi or Ethernet
Look at the underside of the inverter for a network cable plugged into an RJ45 port. If there is a cable running to your router or a network switch, the inverter uses Ethernet — not WiFi. In that case, check the cable is securely plugged in at both ends, the router port has link lights, and DHCP is enabled on your router.
If there is no Ethernet cable, the inverter uses its internal WiFi module. Continue to Step 3.
Download SolarEdge Go and connect via Bluetooth
Download SolarEdge Go from the App Store (iOS) or Google Play (Android). Stand within 3–4 metres of the inverter and open the app. It uses Bluetooth to connect directly — no WiFi or internet required for this step.
If Bluetooth fails to connect, power-cycle the inverter: switch off the AC isolator at the consumer unit, wait 30 seconds, then switch it back on. Try connecting within 2 minutes of the restart — the Bluetooth module is most responsive immediately after power-up.
SetApp is the installer version and offers more settings, but SolarEdge Go is sufficient for WiFi reconnection and is available to homeowners without an installer login.
Navigate to WiFi settings and scan for networks
In SolarEdge Go, go to the inverter's Settings then Communication then WiFi. The app will scan for available networks. Your home WiFi network should appear in the list.
SolarEdge inverters only support 2.4GHz WiFi. They cannot see or connect to 5GHz networks. Check your router settings and ensure 2.4GHz is enabled. If your router combines both bands under one SSID, the inverter should still detect the 2.4GHz band. Some mesh systems and newer routers default to 5GHz-only — you may need to enable the 2.4GHz band separately.
Select your network and enter the WiFi password
Tap your network name and enter the WiFi password exactly as set on your router. The password is case-sensitive. After entering it, the app sends the credentials to the inverter over Bluetooth.
The Communication LED should turn solid green within 1–2 minutes. If it does not connect, double-check the password character by character, confirm you selected the 2.4GHz network (not 5GHz), and check that your router does not have MAC address filtering enabled.
If the password contains special characters, enter them exactly. Some routers use a default password printed on the back of the unit — if you have changed the password since installation, the new password is what the inverter needs.
Verify the connection in the monitoring portal
Once the Communication LED is solid green, wait 10–15 minutes and check monitoring.solaredge.com. The last communication timestamp should update to the current time. Live production data will start flowing again once the portal syncs.
If the portal still shows no communication after 30 minutes with a solid green LED, the issue is likely a firewall, DNS, or port-blocking setting on your router rather than the WiFi credentials. SolarEdge monitoring uses outbound HTTPS (port 443) — check that your router is not blocking this traffic.
Historical data from the offline period will not back-fill in the portal. The inverter does not store production data locally for later upload — only real-time data flows once the connection is restored.
When WiFi reconnection is not enough
Most SolarEdge WiFi disconnections are caused by a router change, ISP switch, or password update. The fix is straightforward — update the credentials via SolarEdge Go and the inverter reconnects within minutes. However, some situations require a different approach.
If the inverter is installed in a garage, loft, or outbuilding that is far from the router, the WiFi signal may be too weak for a reliable connection. In these cases, consider a WiFi range extender positioned between the router and the inverter, or run an Ethernet cable directly to the inverter's RJ45 port. Ethernet is always more reliable than WiFi for inverter communication and eliminates signal-strength issues permanently.
If the Communication LED turns green but the monitoring portal never updates, the issue is usually a router-level block — some routers block outbound traffic on certain ports by default, or the router's DNS settings are preventing the inverter from reaching SolarEdge's servers. Check that outbound HTTPS (port 443) is not restricted and that the router's DNS is set to a public provider such as 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1.
