Absolutely fantastic experience, after months of being fobbed off with rubbish from the installer Ronald fixed my issues in a few hours, his attention to detail and his tenacity was amazing, not only did he go above and beyond but did not ask for payment i had to ask him how to pay. If you need a solar fix this company is brilliant

Roland is a true gentleman. He provided a refurbished inverter when my givenergy one failed. The install was a pain and took him hours. I was expecting a big bill but he honoured his price despite the extra effort. While here he diagnosed a battery fault. He helped me get the battery down and recommended an excellent company who could repair the battery. Absolute legend of a person and company

Five stars for Ronald at Solar Tech Support. It’s been stressful trying to figure things out since GivEnergy went under, but Ronald was a welcome relief. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the system and sorted me out with some excellent advice. Really glad I found this service and will be keeping them on speed-dial for any issues in the future!

I have a GivEnergy system consisting of two batteries, two inverters and a controlling EMS (Energy Management System) which has not worked since Nov 2025. After six months I discovered Solar Tech Support, reached out to them and Ron phoned me back – how often do you get that service? Could not be more helpful – worked directly with me over the phone, outside what I would call normal working hours. Lucid explanations and we were able to discuss the issues and history using camera and email history. As this was a very rare setup, Ron was able to access an EMS expert in the field to confirm the solution. One sunny day in, I am now only paying for standing charge and a few pence for spikes in grid consumption while battery catches up with house demand.

Absolutely brilliant service. Our GivEnergy battery stopped working for no obvious reason. The manufacturers have gone in administration so no aftercare is available. Our installer could not diagnose the problem and gave up. We were at our wits end. A web search came up with Solar Tech Support. In truth, the reviews almost seemed to good to be true. But Ron diagnosed the problem within the hour and fixed it remotely the same day. He explained everything clearly and thoroughly and has offered solutions to other issues we had too. I honestly cannot recommend Ron highly enough. An absolute godsend in the mess that GivEnergy have left behind in their demise. Thank you again for all your help!

I reached on behalf of a friend, who had lost control of their battery following a storm. A couple giv energy “dealers” had attempted and said different fixes. None worked. Solar tech support solved it remotely on the first attempt almost instantly. Genuinely a 10/10 service.

Can't access your GivEnergy account?

There are three usual cases: the system is still in the previous owner's account, your installer registered it under their own account, or you have lost the email on your account.

Whoever holds the account can transfer the system in the app. If you have moved into a home with a GivEnergy system, ask the previous owner or the estate agent to do this for you. GivEnergy Software says it is working on a way for the new owner to request the transfer themselves. If your installer has gone or can't help, another installer can request access at givenergy.cloud/temporary-access, and the account owner approves it. If you have lost the email, write to premium@givenergy.co.uk with Log In as the subject.

We do not handle GivEnergy account transfers, because the owner can do them in the app. Our guide sets out each of these in full.

FAQ

GivEnergy account: common questions

GivEnergy transfers are now done between customers in the app. The current owner updates the GivEnergy app, logs in, taps the account button at the top right of the home page, chooses Transfer Hardware and enters the new owner's email address. The new owner accepts from the email they receive. Read the transfer guide.
Axle Energy runs a home-battery virtual power plant that GivEnergy owners can join: during grid events it exports from your battery and pays you for the energy. GivEnergy used to run its own scheme, GivBack, which has been withdrawn; GivEnergy Software, which runs the GivEnergy app and portal and is still trading, now points owners to Axle. You need to live in Great Britain, have a smart meter that has been connected for at least 30 days, a GivEnergy system that reports to GivEnergy Cloud, and the owner login. Sign up through Axle or from givenergy.cloud/billing: our Axle Energy guide covers eligibility, sign-up, events, payments and opting out.
If you have lost the email on the account, email premium@givenergy.co.uk with Log In as the subject, from the address you want to use, with your username or inverter serial and the installation postcode. While that is being sorted, the free tier of the GivEnergy app works on your home network without a login, so you should still be able to see and control the inverter at home. If you are still stuck after the steps in our transfer guide, use the same address and subject.
This is very common: many installers register GivEnergy systems under their own credentials during commissioning. It means you don't have direct control of the account, and schemes such as Axle Energy need the account owner. Ask the installer to transfer the system to you in the app. Our transfer guide has the steps, and says what GivEnergy Software advises if they have gone or can't help.
No. We do not handle GivEnergy account transfers, because the owner can do them in the app. If your system has a real fault, the remote diagnostic is free, and a remote fix is a flat £125, charged only if we fix it.
GivEnergy Software says it now takes a minute in the app. The new owner then accepts from the email they receive. If you have to email about a lost login, it aims to reply within 14 days.
