⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Outstanding Service! My GivEnergy system had completely gone down, and unfortunately I was getting absolutely no support from either the original fitter or the supplier. I was left completely stuck with a system that wasn’t working. I contacted Solar Tech Support and they were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. They quickly got to the bottom of the problem, knew exactly what they were doing, and managed to get my entire system back up and running. Hands down, these guys are absolute experts in their field. The level of knowledge, professionalism and customer service was exceptional, especially when I’d already been left without any support elsewhere. If you have a GivEnergy system and you’re struggling with an issue, don’t hesitate to contact Solar Tech Support. I honestly can’t recommend them highly enough. 5 stars all day long! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Great service from STS after a power cut and brownout left my GivEnergy inverters effectively useless. After filling the enquiry form out I was promptly given clear instructions by email explaining how to run their diagnostic software and they were working remotely in minutes. Soon after my inverters were back running again. Very helpful and knowledgeable people - thank you.
The Solar Tech Support company was the only one to respond to a request for someone to supply and fit a new inverter for our solar panels after our old one finally expired after 26 years. Ron kept us well informed throughout, came and ascertained that the issue was down to the inverter having failed then sourced and fitted a new one. He got the system up and running again, set up the wi-fi performance feedback and took away the old inverter for disposal. By acting promptly and fitting the job around existing commitments we were able to get our solar power unit back in operation with minimal delay in the short while before we were due to go away for a week. The work was carried out very professionally and we were asked to confirm that all was in order the following day. I was impressed that, having recently taken on additional work for GivEnergy customers we were able to keep our solar panel down-time to a minimum. I would highly recommend for prompt attention and first-rate service.
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 Solar Tech about my Givenergy battery storage system that wasn't working. Battery status was "idle". Given the company Givenergy had gone bust, I need independent quality technical help. Very patient and clearly very knowledgeable about battery systems Ron diagnosed possible issues and suggested several possible remedies. Worked our way through them and fortunately it began to work. The fault was very specific and only an experienced engineer would have thought to check. Suffice to say I'll be back if I need independent support again. Lastly you only pay if there is a solution. Outstanding.
Ron very quickly diagnosed what was wrong with my GivEnergy system. Unfortunately the kit has died after only 3.5 years of use-which is quite sad and timing couldn’t be worse with GivEnergy gone bust. Ron gave me advise on how to handle this with my installer. I’m hoping they’ll be forthcoming, but if they aren’t i now have a good idea how to deal with that. Thanks a lot Ron!
Solar in Sheffield — terrain, shading, and a city full of panels
Sheffield has a huge residential solar install base spanning every era — from early FiT systems on social housing to modern premium installs with battery storage on the western suburbs. The city's steep topography creates unique challenges: properties in the same postcode can have wildly different solar yields depending on hillside orientation and overshadowing. We've worked on systems across the whole city and understand how Sheffield's geography affects performance.
Sheffield is built across the valleys of the Don, Sheaf, Rivelin, Loxley, and Porter rivers. Steep hillsides mean some roofs face directly south with no obstructions while others look north into adjacent hillsides. Tree cover along valley slopes adds seasonal shading that wasn't there when the system was installed. If your generation has dropped, orientation and shading analysis is the first step — a remote diagnostic can identify whether it's geography, hardware, or both.
All Seasons Energy was based at Meadowbrook Park, Halfway (S20 3PJ) and went into voluntary liquidation in January 2026. They installed solar, heat pumps, and insulation across Sheffield and wider Yorkshire — including work through ECO and government-backed schemes. If you have an All Seasons system, your manufacturer warranties usually survive, though GivEnergy is the exception. We handle full recovery including documentation, warranty claims where the manufacturer still trades, and monitoring on other brands. GivEnergy accounts are transferred in the app. If your installer has gone, another installer can request access at givenergy.cloud/temporary-access and the account owner approves it.
The range is huge. Stone-built terraces in Crookes and Walkley with compact 2kW arrays. 1930s semis in Hillsborough and Woodseats running 3–4kW. Detached homes in Dore, Totley, and Ecclesall with 6–8kW systems and battery storage. New estates around Crystal Peaks and Waverley with solar as standard. Each type has different hardware, different fault patterns, and different maintenance needs.
Sheffield's western suburbs — Dore, Totley, Ecclesall, Ranmoor — have some of the highest battery uptake in our area. GivEnergy dominates, but we also work on Sunsynk, Fox ESS, and Tesla Powerwall. Battery systems need configuration to match your tariff and usage patterns — when they're set up wrong, they cost you money instead of saving it.
What we do in Sheffield
Sheffield systems range from early FiT-era installs in the suburbs to newer hybrid setups across the city. We run a remote diagnostic before every visit — checking monitoring portals, fault logs, and generation data — so we arrive prepared. No call-out fees. All costs confirmed before work starts.
On-site fault diagnosis and repair — inverter failures, generation drops, grid faults, tripped DC isolators, battery errors. From £295.
Fault diagnosis →Old inverter removed, new one fitted, configured, and tested. We handle all major brands and carry common replacement units. From £995.
Inverter replacement →Sheffield's steep terrain means overhead power lines — and more frequent outages in exposed areas like Stannington and Hillsborough. EPS keeps your essentials running from battery storage.
EPS installation →Full system health check — inverter inspection, generation analysis, wiring check, firmware updates, and a written condition report. From £195.
Annual maintenance →Moved into a house with solar on one of Sheffield's hillside streets? We survey the full system, assess shading impact, set up monitoring, and hand you a written report. From £295.
On-site walk-through →Remote analysis via your monitoring portal — generation trends, fault codes, battery behaviour, firmware status. Written diagnostic report usually within hours. Free — £125 only if we fix it remotely.
Remote diagnostic →What goes wrong with solar systems in Sheffield
Sheffield's terrain and install history create a distinctive set of faults. Here's what we see most.
The most Sheffield-specific fault we see. Steep hillside properties where the system performed well for years can lose significant output as trees grow taller on adjacent land, or as the seasons shift shadow lines across valley slopes. On string inverter systems, shading on one panel drags down the entire string. On SolarEdge or microinverter systems, the impact is isolated to the shaded panel. A remote diagnostic comparing seasonal output data usually identifies whether shading is the issue. System underperforming guide →
All Seasons Energy was Sheffield's own solar installer — based at Halfway — and their liquidation in January 2026 left a significant number of local customers without monitoring access, warranty support, or anyone to call for faults. We handle the full recovery: monitoring transfer on brands other than GivEnergy, documentation rebuild, warranty verification, and ongoing maintenance. Their systems are relatively recent with modern hardware. All Seasons guide →
Older Sheffield systems from the 2012–2015 FiT era are reaching the point where string inverters fail. Common across terraces in Crookes and Walkley, semis in Hillsborough and Woodseats. Symptoms: blank display, no generation, recurring fault codes. Replacement is the route — these inverters are past the point of economic repair. We stock common models and can usually swap same-visit. FiT payments continue unaffected. Inverter replacement →
Sheffield's western suburbs have high battery uptake, but many systems aren't configured to maximise savings. Common issues: the battery charges from solar but doesn't charge from the grid overnight on cheap-rate, or it discharges during off-peak hours when grid electricity is already cheap. Correct tariff integration — matching charge windows to your actual Octopus/E.ON/British Gas schedule — makes a significant difference. We configure this remotely.

GivEnergy is the dominant battery brand in Sheffield
From Dore to Hillsborough, GivEnergy batteries are the most common we see across Sheffield. Whether it's a retrofit to an existing array or part of a full new install, we diagnose and fix every GivEnergy fault — battery not charging, portal offline, system importing when it shouldn't be, inverter errors, and firmware issues. GivEnergy Ltd entered administration on 9 April 2026, so its manufacturer warranty is no longer being honoured. An installer workmanship guarantee, an insurance-backed guarantee, Section 75, or the MCS Consumer Code may still apply, and we help you work out which. We also supply and install replacement GivEnergy hardware at fixed prices.
