Following an email enquiry i was able use Whatapp Chat to work with their online support agent who successfully solved my battery problem. Having been told that it had gone into sleep mode and would require a site visit Solar Tech successfully sorted the problem remotely. No hassle and no success no fee.

Ron was extremely helpful and tried his best to repair/reset our GivEnergy inverter remotely. In the event he was unsuccessful but he couldn’t have been more helpful. If you have problems with a GivEnergy system please contact him. Highly recommended

Following the storm my givenergy system was effectively useless. I contacted STS after seeing other reviews and recommendations and they delivered. My system was a challenging one, but is now back working as it was - this was all done remotely by them using their own software and expertise. Great service, thank you!

Great service in supplying and fitting an additional GivEnergy battery. Went the extra mile in managing to fit the battery in to a difficult space.

Local Knowledge
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.
Every type of property, every type of system
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.
Major Solarplicity territory
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 generally still valid, the monitoring data is recoverable, and we can take over full support. Two exceptions: GivEnergy Ltd entered administration on 9 April 2026 and no further hardware warranties will be honoured (GivEnergy warranty guide), and Fox ESS claims go through a Local Installer, a role we can take on (Fox ESS warranty guide).
SolarEdge and Enphase on newer installs
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.
Battery storage uptake
GivEnergy dominates the retrofit battery market in Leeds, but we also work on Sunsynk, Tesla Powerwall, and Fox ESS systems. 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.

Common Problems
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.
1
SolarEdge optimiser failures
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. Panel underperformance guide →
2
Orphaned Solarplicity systems with no support
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 (not GivEnergy), documentation rebuild, warranty verification, and fault diagnosis. The manufacturer warranties are separate from Solarplicity and may still be valid. Two exceptions: GivEnergy Ltd entered administration on 9 April 2026 and no further hardware warranties will be honoured (GivEnergy warranty guide), and Fox ESS claims go through a Local Installer, a role we can take on (Fox ESS warranty guide). Solarplicity guide →
3
Battery not saving money — importing from grid unnecessarily
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. Battery importing from grid →
4
Ageing inverter on older FiT-era installs
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 in Leeds →
Both of these are jobs we do on-site in Leeds: solar system repair in Leeds and, where pigeons have got under the array, bird mesh in Leeds.
Installer gone bust?
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 (not GivEnergy), documentation, warranty claims, fault diagnosis, and ongoing maintenance.

GivEnergy
GivEnergy, SolarEdge, Enphase — we fix them all in Leeds
Leeds has the most diverse brand mix in our coverage area. GivEnergy dominates battery retrofits. SolarEdge is common on newer panel-level systems. Enphase microinverters appear on premium installs. Each brand has different diagnostic methods, firmware management, and warranty processes — we know them all.
GivEnergy — battery diagnostics, configuration, firmware, post-administration warranty support
SolarEdge — optimiser replacement, inverter faults, monitoring issues
Enphase — microinverter diagnostics, Envoy gateway faults
Sunsynk, Fox ESS, Growatt, Solis, Huawei — all supported

New homeowner
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 our home base, so response here is as quick as it gets for us. Urgent faults, a dead inverter or a system producing nothing, are usually attended within one to two working days, and planned jobs such as inverter replacements and annual maintenance normally land within the same week. For same-day answers, start with a free remote diagnostic: most faults can be identified from the monitoring data before we visit.
Yes. Solarplicity installed thousands of systems across Leeds before ceasing trading and eventually being dissolved in November 2023. We handle the full recovery: monitoring transfer (not GivEnergy), 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, with two exceptions: GivEnergy Ltd entered administration on 9 April 2026 and no further hardware warranties will be honoured, and Fox ESS claims go through a Local Installer, a role we can take on. Solarplicity guide →
In Leeds the first question is whether you need a full replacement at all: SolarEdge systems are common here, and optimiser-level faults can sometimes be resolved without swapping the inverter. Where the inverter itself has failed, replacement costs from £995, with the new unit, removal of the old one, installation, configuration, and commissioning included. The brand, model, and system size set the final price, and a free remote diagnostic confirms which route applies before we quote. Inverter replacement in Leeds →
