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)

Tony Deacon · May 2026 Trustpilot

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

Phill · May 2026 Trustpilot

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

michael fairhurst · May 2026 Trustpilot

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.

Mr Machin · May 2026 Trustpilot

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.

Keith Ballard · Apr 2026 Trustpilot

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.

Christopher · Apr 2026 Trustpilot

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.

customer · Apr 2026 Trustpilot

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!

1
You contact us

You submit the booking form, call, or email. No charge for the conversation. We don't take payment details upfront.

Free remote diagnostic

We confirm same-day, schedule a 30-minute live session, run the diagnostic. Still no charge at this point.

3
Clear outcome

We identify the fault and tell you one of: we can fix it remotely (here's the charge), it needs on-site (here's the quote), it's DIY-fixable (free advice), or it's out-of-scope (free direction).

4
You decide

No pressure. You decide whether to proceed with the paid fix or not. If you decline, you pay nothing for the diagnostic.

If we proceed, you get a written invoice covering the fix charge and any parts. Parts always quoted before purchase.

FAQ

Common pricing questions

For remote diagnostics, no — we operate no fix, no fee. If we cannot resolve your fault remotely you pay nothing. No session fee, no admin fee, no charge whatsoever. For on-site visits, the minimum visit fee always applies because we cover travel and time on site — but we always quote the on-site work in writing before we attend, so you commit before we travel.
Free advice. We tell you exactly what to do. No charge, no obligation. Many common faults (CT clamp reversed, Eco Mode reset, app misconfigured) take five minutes to walk you through. We give you the answer because it's the right thing to do — and because customers we treat fairly come back. Our Solar Health Plan is available from £10 per month if you'd like ongoing support for future issues.
No. The service fee covers our engineering labour and travel. Any parts needed — inverter, battery module, CT clamp, wiring, contactor, breaker — are quoted separately once identified. You receive an itemised written quote and approve costs before we purchase or install anything. This keeps pricing transparent and prevents surprises.
Not applicable — the remote diagnostic is free. If your free remote diagnostic identifies a fault that needs the remote fix charge, you pay only the fix charge from £75. If it needs on-site work, you pay the on-site visit fee from £245 minimum. You're not paying twice — the diagnostic itself is genuinely free either way.
All work is completed to a high standard using parts with manufacturer guarantees. Components we install carry the manufacturer warranty (typically 2–5 years depending on the part). Our labour is warrantied for 12 months from completion — if we make an error, we return to put it right at no cost. We also work to protect your existing inverter or battery manufacturer warranty throughout the repair.
Book the free diagnostic anyway. We'll review your system, your symptoms, and any quotes you've received from other engineers. If everything is fine or someone else has quoted you fairly, we tell you. If something is wrong or someone has overquoted you, we explain that too. Free either way — no obligation, no pressure to book follow-on work.
Commercial and B2B customers operate on a paid-from-the-start model — engineering time is billed regardless of fault outcome. Annual O&M contracts start from £795 per system per year. Emergency repair, system takeover, and independent audit work is priced per engagement (POA). The no-fix-no-fee policy applies only to homeowners using the free remote diagnostic.
