A really big thank you to Ron and his team, he has vast amounts of knowledge and got my system back up and running, also good to get on with. I was absolutely lost as to know what to do, no help from installer and somehow came across Ron and am I glad I did. I would definitely definitely recommend him to anyone who has faults with there solar system, any make I would say. Thanks again Ron a pleasure meeting you.

This company are a rare gem, I had a very unusual problem following a failed firmware upgrade on my GivEnergy kit. I then found out GivEnergy were in administration and had dismissed all their support staff! None of the usual fixes to try and restore my inverter comms would work, and I looked everywhere, forums, GivEnergy youtube support videos - even AI couldn't figure it out. My installer was talking about huge sums for system replacements, and being vague / evasive about if they'd even install replacement GivEnergy inverter. Enter Solar Tech Support, reassuring and knowledgeable from the very start, I've learnt loads about my solar system though the friendly chat while my engineer worked as he diagnosed the problem and figured out a fix procedure that I've not found anywhere else - amazing. If you need solar system repairs - especially if you like me have been left high and dry by GivEnergy, I cannot recommend this company enough. Give them a call.

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.

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.

Setting up and fixing SolarEdge monitoring

SolarEdge runs two completely separate tools, and knowing which one you need is half the battle. MySolarEdge (monitoring.solaredge.com) is the cloud portal that stores your historical and panel-level optimiser data and sends fault alerts. SolarEdge Go talks to the inverter directly over Bluetooth, needs no account at all, and works even when the portal is down or a transfer is in progress. Most setup questions come down to getting into one or the other.

The biggest job we see is access. Most UK SolarEdge systems are registered under the installer's portal account, not the homeowner's, so when you buy the house or the installer goes bust you inherit a system you cannot log into. SolarEdge has the most formal transfer process of any major brand, handled by their accounts team and typically taking two to four weeks. Our MySolarEdge monitoring and transfer guide walks through registering a new account, claiming an orphaned system, and using SolarEdge Go in the meantime. The other regular call is connectivity: after a router swap or a WiFi password change the inverter's stored credentials no longer match, the Communication LED goes off or flashing, and the portal stops updating, though the inverter keeps generating throughout. Our WiFi reconnection guide covers that, including the 2.4GHz-only catch that trips up most new routers.

We are independent of SolarEdge and your installer, and we start every job with a free remote diagnostic. If it is something we can put right remotely, the fix is from £75 on a no fix, no fee basis, so you pay nothing if we cannot resolve it. The orphaned-account transfer is a managed service quoted up front, and any hands-on visit starts from £245.

FAQ

SolarEdge setup questions answered

First try creating an account at monitoring.solaredge.com and registering the system with the inverter serial number from the label on the unit. If the system is not already claimed, it links to your account. If MySolarEdge says it is already registered to another account, you need a formal ownership transfer: email support.uk@solaredge.com with your serial number, property address, proof of ownership and, if your installer has closed, evidence of that. Allow two to four weeks, as the request goes to SolarEdge's accounts team. While you wait, download SolarEdge Go and connect to the inverter over Bluetooth to confirm it is still generating. When the transfer completes, all your historical and panel-level data transfers with it.
SolarEdge inverters store the WiFi name and password internally, so a new router or changed password breaks the stored credentials, the Communication LED goes off or flashing, and the portal stops updating, though the inverter keeps generating the whole time. Download SolarEdge Go (the homeowner app, no installer login needed), stand within a few metres of the inverter, connect over Bluetooth, and update the WiFi under Communication settings. One catch: SolarEdge inverters only support 2.4GHz WiFi, not 5GHz, so make sure the 2.4GHz band is enabled, as some mesh systems default to 5GHz only. The LED should go solid green within a minute or two, and the portal updates within fifteen minutes.
The remote diagnostic is free, whether it is a first-time setup, a portal that has gone dark, or confirming the system is generating via SolarEdge Go. If we can fix it remotely, the fix is from £75 on a no fix, no fee basis, and a WiFi or communication fault is usually sorted same day in a single screen-share, with no site visit needed. The orphaned-account ownership transfer is a managed service: we prepare your documentation pack, email SolarEdge UK on your behalf and run the two to four week process to completion, quoted up front. Anything that genuinely needs an engineer on site starts from £245, quoted before anyone travels.
