Solar Repair & Support in Leeds
Leeds is the largest city in our coverage area and where we see the widest variety of solar installations — from compact FiT-era arrays on Victorian terraces in Headingley to 8kW SolarEdge systems with battery storage on detached homes in Roundhay. We're registered in Leeds and cover the entire metropolitan area.
Tell us what's happening with your system. We'll confirm whether it needs a remote diagnostic or an on-site visit, and give you a clear price before any work starts. Leeds is core coverage — one to two working days for urgent faults.

Solar in Leeds — the biggest and most varied install base in our area
Leeds has more domestic solar installations than any other city in our coverage area. The variety is huge: older FiT-era systems on terraced streets, mid-range arrays on suburban semis, and modern premium installs with battery storage and smart energy management. Leeds was also major Solarplicity territory — thousands of their customers here were left without support when the company collapsed.
Victorian terraces in Headingley and Hyde Park typically have compact 2–3kW arrays squeezed onto narrow south-facing roofs. Suburban semis in Roundhay, Horsforth, and Morley run 3–4kW FiT-era systems. Detached homes in Alwoodley, Adel, and Otley increasingly have modern 5–8kW systems with SolarEdge optimisers and GivEnergy batteries. New builds around South Bank and Kirkstall Forge come with solar as standard.
Solarplicity was a combined energy supplier and solar installer that went into administration before being dissolved in November 2023. They left over 7,500 customers nationally without support — a significant number in Leeds. If you have a Solarplicity system, your manufacturer warranties are still valid, the monitoring data is recoverable, and we can take over full support.
Leeds has a higher concentration of SolarEdge and Enphase systems than most of our coverage area. SolarEdge uses DC optimisers on each panel — great for performance on partially shaded roofs, but the optimisers can fail individually. Enphase uses microinverters — one per panel instead of a central inverter. Both require specialist diagnostic approaches that differ from standard string inverter systems.
GivEnergy dominates the retrofit battery market in Leeds, but we also see Sunsynk, Tesla Powerwall, and Fox ESS on newer full-system installs. Battery systems add complexity — charge schedules, tariff integration, CT clamp configuration, and firmware management all need to be right for the system to save you money rather than cost you.
What we do in Leeds
Leeds has the widest mix of system brands in our area — SolarEdge, Solis, GivEnergy, Enphase, and legacy installs from Solarplicity. We remote-diagnose before every visit, so we arrive with the right parts and a clear plan. No call-out fees. Pricing confirmed in writing.
Fault-finding across all system types — string inverters, optimisers, micro-inverters, hybrid batteries. SolarEdge and Solis faults are the most common in Leeds. From £249.
Fault diagnosis →Complete replacement — old inverter removed, new unit installed, configured, and generation verified. SolarEdge, Solis, Fronius, and GivEnergy are the most common swaps we do in Leeds. £795.
Inverter replacement →Power cuts hit LS postcodes more often than you'd think. We add an EPS circuit to your battery system so essentials stay on — lights, router, fridge, charging points.
EPS installation →Annual system health check — generation analysis, SolarEdge optimiser scan or string inverter diagnostics, wiring inspection, firmware review. Written condition report. From £195.
Annual maintenance →Bought a property with solar in Leeds? We identify the system brand and type, set up monitoring on your phone, verify FiT or SEG status, and produce a clear written guide to what you now own. From £295.
On-site walk-through →We access your monitoring portal, analyse generation patterns, review fault history, and check firmware. Most faults diagnosed without a site visit. Written report same-day. £75.
Remote diagnostic →What goes wrong with solar systems in Leeds
Leeds has the widest range of system types in our area, which means we see the widest range of faults. These are the most common.
SolarEdge systems are common on newer Leeds installs, especially on properties with partial shading — terraces in Headingley, tree-lined streets in Roundhay. Each panel has its own DC optimiser, and when one fails, that panel drops out of production. The SolarEdge monitoring portal flags the exact panel, but diagnosing whether it's the optimiser, the panel, or the wiring requires specialist tools. We carry replacement optimisers and can usually swap same-visit. Fault diagnosis →
Solarplicity left thousands of Leeds customers with locked monitoring accounts, missing MCS certificates, and no route to warranty claims. The systems themselves are usually still generating — they just have no one managing them. We handle full system recovery: monitoring transfer, documentation rebuild, warranty verification, and fault diagnosis. The manufacturer warranties are separate from Solarplicity and may still be valid. Solarplicity guide →
A common complaint on GivEnergy and Sunsynk battery installs across Leeds. The system is supposed to store solar generation and cheap-rate electricity, then use it during peak hours. When it imports from the grid instead, the cause is almost always configuration: CT clamp direction, eco mode settings, charge schedule timing, or a firmware update that has reset values. We diagnose and fix this remotely. GivEnergy support →
Older Leeds systems from the 2012–2015 FiT era are reaching the point where string inverters fail. Symptoms: blank display, no generation, recurring fault codes. These inverters are past economic repair — replacement is the route. We stock the most common models and can usually complete a swap in a single visit. Your FiT payments continue unaffected by an inverter change. Inverter replacement →
Your Leeds installer has closed — we take over from here
Leeds has been hit harder than most cities by installer closures. Solarplicity alone left thousands of local customers without support. If your installer has gone into liquidation or stopped trading, we handle the full recovery — monitoring transfer, documentation, warranty claims, fault diagnosis, and ongoing maintenance.
Dissolved November 2023. Combined energy supplier and solar installer. 7,500+ customers nationally — major Leeds presence.
Solarplicity guide →Administration 2015. Government scheme installs across Leeds. Fronius inverters now 10+ years old and failing.
Mark Group guide →Sheffield-based. Voluntary liquidation January 2026. Operated across Yorkshire including Leeds via ECO and government schemes.
All Seasons guide →Installer not listed? The recovery process is the same regardless of who installed your system. Full installer gone bust guide or book a call.

Just bought a house in Leeds with solar panels?
Leeds has the widest variety of solar installations in our coverage area — everything from compact FiT-era arrays on Victorian terraces to modern SolarEdge and Enphase systems on new builds. When a property changes hands, the documentation rarely comes with it. We visit, identify every component (even multi-brand setups), check optimiser-level performance where applicable, set up monitoring in your name, and hand over a written report.
Solar repair in Leeds — common questions
Leeds is one of our core coverage areas — about 35 minutes from our base. For urgent faults like a dead inverter or total generation loss, we can usually attend within one to two working days. Scheduled work such as inverter replacements and annual maintenance is typically within the same week. A remote diagnostic at £75 can identify most faults same-day if you need answers before the on-site visit.
Yes. Solarplicity installed thousands of systems across Leeds before ceasing trading and eventually being dissolved in November 2023. Many of these customers were left with no monitoring access, no documentation, and no one to call when faults appeared. We handle the full recovery: monitoring transfer, MCS certificate retrieval, warranty verification, fault diagnosis, and ongoing maintenance. The manufacturer warranties on your inverter and panels are separate from Solarplicity and may still be valid. Solarplicity guide →
Inverter replacement starts £795, which includes the new unit, removal of the old one, installation, configuration, and commissioning. The exact price depends on the brand, model, and system size. For SolarEdge systems common in Leeds, optimiser faults can sometimes be resolved without a full inverter swap — a remote diagnostic at £75 confirms exactly what's needed before we quote.
