Inverter Replacement in Yorkshire

Yorkshire has one of the highest concentrations of ageing solar inverters in England. Thousands of FiT-era string inverters installed between 2012 and 2015 are now reaching end of life — and replacement is the only sensible fix. We're based in Leeds, carry stock of the most common replacement units, and can usually schedule a swap within the same week for our core coverage area.
  • Same-week availability across South Yorkshire
  • 19+ inverter brands replaced
  • DNO G99 variation included

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!

Yorkshire Context

Why Yorkshire is in the inverter replacement zone right now

Yorkshire was one of the biggest recipients of Feed-in Tariff era solar installations in England. Between 2012 and 2015, tens of thousands of residential systems were installed across the region — many through government energy efficiency schemes run by Mark Group, Solarplicity, and other installers who have since gone bust. The panels are still fine — they'll last 25+ years. But the string inverters have a typical lifespan of 10–15 years, and the region is now firmly in its first major replacement cycle.

10–15 yr

Typical string inverter lifespan

2012–15

Peak FiT installation period in Yorkshire

Now

First major replacement cycle is underway

If your inverter is showing a blank screen, a red fault light, persistent error codes, or simply isn't generating — and it was installed in the 2012–2015 window — replacement is almost certainly the right move. Repairing a 10+ year old inverter is rarely economical, and the replacement models are more efficient with longer warranties.

Pricing

Inverter replacement pricing in Yorkshire

String inverter
£795

Single-phase, 2–6 kW. Like-for-like or current generation equivalent. The most common replacement across Yorkshire.

Hybrid inverter
From £995

Upgrade to hybrid for battery and EPS compatibility. Popular choice for homeowners adding GivEnergy batteries.

Three-phase / large
From £1,200

8 kW+ and three-phase units. Assessed individually. Full pricing details →

All prices include supply, decommission, installation, commissioning, DNO G99 variation, and post-installation report. Hardware and labour quoted separately. See the full inverter replacement service page for complete detail on what's included.

Brands

Inverters we replace most often in Yorkshire

These are the brands and models we see failing most frequently on Yorkshire systems right now. We carry stock of the most common replacement units for faster turnaround.

Fronius

Galvo, Primo, and IG Plus models from 2012–2015 FiT installs. Very common on Mark Group systems across South Yorkshire. Typically replaced with current-generation GivEnergy, Sunsynk, or Solis hybrid units.

Solis

Mini and standard string models from social housing retrofits. Very common in Rotherham, Barnsley, and Doncaster. Budget-friendly replacement options available — like-for-like or hybrid upgrade.

Growatt

Older ShineWay and MTL models reaching end of life. Often replaced with Growatt SPH hybrid series for battery compatibility, or a GivEnergy/Sunsynk hybrid as an upgrade path.

SolarEdge

HD-Wave and older SE series. Common in Leeds and West Yorkshire on newer installs. Optimiser-level faults can sometimes be resolved without a full inverter replacement — a diagnostic confirms.

GivEnergy

AC and hybrid models. The most popular brand on newer Yorkshire installs. Faults are often firmware or configuration issues resolved remotely — true hardware failure is less common on these newer units.

SMA / Enphase / others

SMA Sunny Boy, Enphase microinverters, Huawei, Fox ESS, SolaX, and more. We replace all major UK brands — if yours isn't listed, contact us.

Installer gone bust?

Your installer folded — but the inverter still needs replacing

Your inverter has a manufacturer warranty that's separate from your installer — and it may still be valid even if the installer has folded. We check warranty status before quoting every job. If the hardware is covered, you only pay for labour and commissioning. We replace inverters on systems originally installed by Mark Group, Solarplicity, Snug Energy, and All Seasons Energy every week across Yorkshire.

FAQ

Inverter replacement in Yorkshire — common questions

String inverter replacement starts £795 including supply, decommission, installation, commissioning, DNO G99 variation, and post-installation report. Hybrid inverter replacement — enabling battery storage — starts from £995. Three-phase and larger residential units from £1,200. All costs confirmed in writing before work begins. Full pricing and service details →
For our core coverage area — Barnsley, Rotherham, Doncaster, Sheffield, Wakefield, and Leeds — we can usually schedule an inverter replacement within the same week once the quote is approved and hardware is in stock. Outer areas like Hull, Scarborough, and Bridlington may take a few extra days. The installation itself takes 4 to 6 hours on a standard residential system.
All major brands: Fronius, Solis, Growatt, GivEnergy, SolarEdge, SMA, Sunsynk, Huawei, Enphase, Fox ESS, SolaX, Lux Power, Sigenergy, AlphaESS, and more. We replace like-for-like or recommend an upgrade to a current hybrid model for battery and EPS compatibility. See all brands we support →
Not always. If your inverter has clearly failed — blank screen, physical damage, confirmed fault code — we can proceed directly to replacement. If there's any uncertainty about whether the inverter is at fault or whether repair is viable, a free remote diagnostic is worth doing first. It prevents ordering an unnecessary replacement, and the diagnostic fee is credited against the replacement if you proceed.

Inverter failed? Get a replacement quote.

Tell us the brand, model, and fault — or just send a photo of the inverter and we'll identify it. We'll confirm the replacement spec and come back with a written quote. No call-out fee. No obligation.
