If you can't identify your inverter or battery brand, send us a photo of the unit and its display. We'll identify it and point you to the right support resources.
Book a diagnosticHow to identify your inverterExcellent service from Solar Tech Support. Extremely quick to respond, easy to deal with and clearly very talented engineers. They were persistent throughout a complex GivEnergy battery issue and resolved everything completely. Highly knowledgeable, professional and reassuring support from start to finish. Highly recommended.
Prompt and useful support regarding my Sunsynk system lack of performance. Ronald simplified the technical issues to make them understandable. Many thanks, looking forward to follow up.
Absolutely wonderful. Would recommend without hesitation. I had an issue I was thinking would never be fixed and they fixed it. Help, advice and support every step of the way. I can't recommend highly enough. Thank you so much ⭐
I can’t praise this firm enough. After hearing my solar panels rattling in very windy conditions, I contacted Solar Tech (as my installers no longer trade). Ronald was fantastic at explaining what he thought the issue was likely to be. Communication was great throughout keeping me fully updated. The team worked really hard on the day to carry out the necessary work. I can now sleep soundly at night without worrying about the solar panels on my roof. I would thoroughly recommend this firm. Thank you for sorting the problem out.
Ronald was able to organise a brilliant electrician with extensive experience of GivEnergy systems local to me in the SW. I have now got a fully functioning system and suspect that my electricity bill will be substantially reduced or in credit over a year. Also when said electrician discovered an overvoltage in the my local grid, Ronald prepared a very lucid and comprehensive report of the situation which I have now supplied to my local grid. Cannot recommend Ron and Dan enough.
Excellent response to diagnose a problem on our SolarEdge installation. Kept us informed at every step. Diagnosis quickly completed and solution implemented.
STS Solar Tech Support provides specialist diagnostics and repair services across all major solar and battery storage brands available in the UK. Whether your system is a GivEnergy hybrid inverter with Pylontech batteries, a SolarEdge string system with power optimisers, a Growatt SPH with built-in battery support, or any other combination of hardware, we have the knowledge to diagnose faults and guide repairs. We're completely independent from manufacturers and installers, so our diagnostics are impartial and focused on identifying the real cause of the problem.
Each brand has its own quirks, common failure modes, and configuration best practices. A fault code that means one thing on a GivEnergy system might mean something entirely different on a SolarEdge. The same configuration setting that works on one brand might cause problems on another due to subtle differences in firmware logic or communication protocols. We maintain detailed fault databases for every major brand we support, built from hundreds of real repair jobs over many years. This deep brand knowledge means we can often identify the problem within minutes of reviewing your system data.
Whether your system was installed last month or over a decade ago, we can diagnose and repair it. Even if your inverter is no longer manufactured or your battery brand has been discontinued, we often have the spare parts and technical knowledge to get the system working again. Click on your inverter or battery brand below to access brand-specific troubleshooting guides, common faults, and detailed setup documentation. If you're not sure which brand you have, we have a guide to help you identify your system.

Go to Victron support →If you know your inverter brand, click through to its dedicated page above. Each brand page includes brand-specific troubleshooting guides, common fault codes, setup documentation, and known firmware issues. This allows you to focus on the faults and settings that are most relevant to your specific hardware, rather than wading through information for brands you don't have.
If you don't know your inverter brand, the easiest way to find it is to check the label on the front, side, or bottom of your inverter — the brand name and model number are usually printed clearly. Alternatively, log into your monitoring app (the app or portal you use to check your solar generation). The app homepage or settings page typically shows the inverter brand and model. If you're still unsure, we have a detailed guide to identifying your inverter brand and model that walks through the most common places to look.
If your fault isn't brand-specific — for example, if you're trying to understand why your system isn't generating, or you want general information about battery charging modes — visit the general problems section instead. The problems pages are brand-agnostic starting points that help you diagnose the fault, after which you can come back to your specific brand page for brand-specific configuration steps or fault code interpretation.
We also support a range of older and discontinued inverter brands that are no longer manufactured but are still in use across the UK. If your system uses Aurora (Power-One, later ABB then FIMER), Eversolar, Solar River, Trannergy, or similar legacy hardware, we can still help assess and repair the system. Many of these older inverters are exceptionally reliable and often worth maintaining rather than replacing — even a 10-15 year old system can often be restored to full function with the right diagnosis and repair.
The main challenge with legacy systems is parts availability. Replacement inverters for discontinued brands may no longer be in stock at distributors, which means you may need to source components second-hand or consider a full system replacement. During a diagnostic, we'll assess the fault and advise whether repair is practical and cost-effective. In many cases, we can source spare parts or provide interim solutions to keep an older system working. If your brand isn't listed below, contact us directly — we likely still support it or can advise on your options.
Power-One string inverters (later ABB, then FIMER). We can assess repair viability and source parts if needed.
Discontinued Chinese string inverters. Still repairable; parts may need sourcing second-hand.
Early-generation hybrid inverters. Diagnostic available to determine if repair or replacement is cost-effective.
Discontinued hybrid inverters. We maintain technical documentation and can assess repair options.
If your legacy inverter brand isn't listed above, contact us directly — we likely still support it or can provide guidance on your options. Many older systems are worth maintaining, and we can help you make the right decision.
Check the label on the front of your inverter — the brand name and model number are usually printed there. We also have a guide to identifying your system.
Tell us your inverter brand and model, what the system is doing, and we'll diagnose the fault. Most issues are resolved in a single remote session without a site visit.
