Absolutely amazing service. Ive had a couple of issues with my Givenergy system and couldn't manage to get in touch with Givenergy after they went bust. So I was searching on Google and came across Rons number. I sent Ron a WhatsApp message and got a prompt reply and he resolved the problem I had with my system. I can't recommend Ron enough its not often you get such a good service in this day and age. If you are experiencing issues with your solar system Ron is the man to contact.

What a fantastic service. Had my fault diagnosed within minutes and actually managed to resolve the issue remotely within a few minutes more. This guy is like a “Solar Batman” helping consumers fix their problems using his extensive industry knowledge and expertise. Outstanding service. Thank you so much.

Called spoke to Ron. Was very informative and more importantly listen to the issues regarding my system. Was very professional and tackled the problem and had my system back on it's way. Thank you once again Ron

Brilliant. He fitted a new dongle and set the system up properly. Even better, he explained why the storage batteries don't work in a power cut - not correctly wired up - expensive to fix, but a simple turn of the master switch will give emergency power. He is the third technician to look at this issue and the only one to resolve it. Friendly and appoachable, comes when he says he will and reasonable charges. What's not to like!

Amazing! I was having trouble with a flat GivEnergy battery and solar panels not working. I contacted through WhatsApp and we managed to get it all sorted within a couple of days! Super fast service. I can’t thank you enough for your help when my installer didn’t want to know and GivEnergy has gone in to administration! I know where to go if anything happens again!
