Complete failure, undocumented fault codes, or severe underperformance — we assess Eversolar failures and recommend the right replacement.
Book replacement assessmentSee all servicesRon 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)
Ron was really helpful. He remotely adjusted my battery settings on the same day I contacted him, and at a reasonable price. Great service.
Ron is incredibly knowledgeable about solar installs in general but knows givenergy products inside out and the key personnel that worked there from the start to the end. My problem was spurious in its nature but Ron spotted it straight away when he understood the installation details. In essence the installers didn’t fit the correct trip switch. He also gave me hope that in the future hardware repairs could be possible but it’s still early days. This guy really is in the know and keen to sucas a business If you need help don’t hesitate
Our 3 year old GivEnergy batteries froze. They were showing 0% on the app, but they were fully charged. Some how Ron took over our inverter and remotely cured the problem. We live in King’s Lynn, he is in Leeds I believe. Very grateful.
Big thanks to Ron. He was incredibly patient and helpful over the phone, taking the time to walk myself and the installer through every troubleshooting step. Through lots of testing he figured out the issue was definitely a hardware issue, which allows us to consider our next steps. Support fees are clear and they operate a “no fix no fee” policy. It is rare to find that kind of honesty combined with dedicated phone support nowadays. I highly recommend Ron, if you need help with your solar system don’t hesitate to give him a call.
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.
Eversolar was a Chinese solar inverter manufacturer with a UK distribution presence. Their inverters — typically 1–5kW single-phase string units — were installed in volume during the Feed-in Tariff boom of 2010–2013. The Eversolar brand ceased to exist around 2011–2012 when the manufacturer merged and rebranded as Zeversolar, which was subsequently acquired by SMA and itself closed in 2019. Many UK owners have been without manufacturer support for over ten years. Eversolar inverters now aged 12–15 years are experiencing high failure rates, particularly capacitor and power board failures. No spare parts exist and there is no monitoring platform.
The internal collapse of Eversolar as a company left a vacuum with no technical support, no spare parts, and no service pathway for failed units. Unlike some other defunct brands, Eversolar has no third-party specialist service network in the UK — repair is effectively impossible. When an Eversolar inverter fails, the only viable option is replacement with a modern, actively-supported unit. Any investment in repair is not economically rational given the unit's age and the complete absence of support infrastructure.
The most common Eversolar failure mode. Dead inverter, no lights, no generation. DC bus capacitor failure after 10–15 years of operation. Non-repairable: no spare parts are available.
Eversolar fault codes are undocumented as the manufacturer no longer exists. A fault light with no production usually indicates a protection event caused by aging internal components. Cannot be cleared or diagnosed without replacement.
Still running but producing a fraction of expected output. Capacitor degradation causes MPPT efficiency loss and output clipping. Confirming the loss requires a comparison against calculated roof output.
When an Eversolar inverter fails, you can replace it with a modern string inverter at similar cost, or upgrade to a hybrid inverter to add battery storage capability. The solar panels and DC cabling remain — only the inverter is replaced. STS assesses your string configuration and recommends the most suitable replacement.
Upgrade to a hybrid inverter with battery storage — most popular choice for Feed-in Tariff-era system upgrades.
