My Givenergy battery stopped working nearly a month ago. After unsuccessfully reaching out to my installer, who looks like he's also busted, I found Solar Tech Support on a Google search. They fixed my issue in a couple of hours. Any frustrated Givenergy customers, I highly recommend these guys.

Ron made more sense in 20 mins than our installer has done over the last 12 months There is a jungle out there and you need someone like Ron to give a comprehensive overview and solution

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.

Ron was brilliant. He really tried to help. He spent hours trying to fix our GivEnergy AIO and ultimately it became apparent that it needed parts to fix the BMS management system. As there appears to be no replacement parts available on the market, he gave excellent advice on what options are now available to move forward. He is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable.

Contacted Solar Tech Support when trying to understand what my Givenergy inverter problem might be and what might be my options. Received good/honest advise which backed up my thoughts.

Contacted Solar Tech Support in desperation. After explaining the issues I had with my system a diagnosis was made and a solution proposed. Fantastic service, even contacted a manufacturer to arrange replacement parts for me. Great communications, explained all they were doing and what I had to do, clearly and precisly. Followed up to confirm all was ok. Excellent service.

Can't access your GivEnergy account?

This is one of the most common problems we deal with for GivEnergy owners. There are three main scenarios: the previous homeowner's account is still linked and they are uncontactable; the installing company registered the system under their own credentials and has since ceased trading; or access was lost following a portal migration or password change.

GivEnergy's standard account transfer process works when the previous owner is contactable and cooperative. When they're not, the process requires evidence of ownership — installation certificates, commissioning documents, or DNO G98/G99 notifications. We help compile that evidence and liaise with GivEnergy on your behalf to recover access.

FAQ

GivEnergy account — common questions

Transferring a GivEnergy system requires removing the previous owner's account from the portal and adding the new owner as primary device manager — this is done through givenergy.cloud. If the previous owner's account is inaccessible or the system was registered under an installer's account, a system recovery process is needed. See our monitoring transfer guide for the full process.
GivBack (part of the GivLink programme) is GivEnergy's virtual power plant scheme. It automatically exports your battery during national grid peak periods and pays you monthly. You need a GivEnergy battery, smart meter, and mainland UK address. Sign up via the GivBack app with your GivEnergy account details. See our GivLink & GivBack guide for full eligibility, sign-up steps, and what happens to your charge schedule during grid events.
Yes. If you've lost access to your GivEnergy portal, we can help you recover access, reset your credentials, or transfer monitoring to your account. Common scenarios include forgotten passwords, inherited systems where the previous owner's account is no longer contactable, or portals registered under an installer's account. Free remote diagnostics (no fix, no fee) can identify the best path to restore your access and give you full control of your system.
This is very common — many installers register GivEnergy systems under their own credentials during commissioning. This means you don't have direct control of your monitoring account. STS can help transfer the monitoring account to your ownership so you have full access to your system's data, settings, and the GivBack programme. We handle the process of liaising with GivEnergy and your installer to complete the transfer.
