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)

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.

I've spoken to Ron a couple of times with issues with my Givenergy installation. Such a friendly knowledge guy very highly recommended. Thank you very much for resolving my issues

Brilliant support to get my solar battery working again. I didn’t expect help on a Saturday but Ron answered the phone, listened and sent me the information I needed to get it going, answered questions etc. A brilliant service I’d happily recommend.

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.

Ron was really helpful. He remotely adjusted my battery settings on the same day I contacted him, and at a reasonable price. Great service.

FAQ

GivEnergy setup — common questions

GivEnergy systems require 2.4GHz WiFi — 5GHz is not supported. For the AECC multi-connect dongle, connect to the dongle's hotspot at 10.10.100.254 using default credentials (admin / 123456) and enter your home WiFi details. For the HF21 dongle, use the GivEnergy app's WiFi setup wizard. If you've recently changed your router or password, you need to repeat the setup process. See our WiFi dongle guide for full step-by-step instructions.
Firmware updates are done through the GivEnergy portal at givenergy.cloud. Log in, navigate to your inverter settings, go to the Software section, and press Update if a new version is available. The process takes 5–30 minutes. If the update stalls, wait a full hour before doing anything — restarting mid-flash can corrupt the installation. Always check your charge schedule and export limit settings afterwards. See our firmware update guide.
Register at givenergy.cloud using the details from your installation documents, enter your inverter serial number to link your system, and confirm WiFi is connected. The portal gives you live power flow, historical data, charge schedule controls, and system mode settings. See our portal guide for full navigation and setup instructions.
