Had a fault on a GivEnergy AC coupled 3kW home battery and was getting no joy from multiple companies I contacted, as well as the original installer. Contacted Solar Tech Support and they sorted it really quickly, now working perfectly again, can’t recommend them highly enough, professional and very responsive!
Great service in supplying and fitting an additional GivEnergy battery. Went the extra mile in managing to fit the battery in to a difficult space.
When my GivEnergy battery started playing up it became basically useless and several companies I called said they couldn’t help. Solar Tech Support really knew their stuff, communicated very well and resolved the problem quickly. Without them I’d have had to buy a replacement battery.
Within an hour they were online and after less than another hour had it all sorted. Good communication throughout.
Excellent knowledgeable company which sorted out my Givenergy issues that no one else could sort! Initial remote diagnosis into what unit(s) where faulty which enabled me to confidently source and buy a replacement at a good price and on so doing Solar Tech then got my system up and running remotely within an hour or two. A1 service!
Outstanding support, very detailed knowledge of the system and clarity on what was needed to fix it, no hesitation in recommending them to all.
Snug Energy Ltd was a family-run installer based at Kirk Sandall Industrial Estate in Doncaster. They installed solar PV systems, battery storage, and gas boilers across South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, and Lincolnshire. The company held MCS, RECC, NAPIT, and TrustMark accreditations.
Companies House filings — Company no. 11422096
Directors passed a resolution to voluntarily wind up the company.
A licensed insolvency practitioner was appointed to manage the liquidation process. Statement of affairs filed the same day.
Address transferred from Kirk Sandall Industrial Estate, Doncaster DN3 1QR to Suite 500, 94a Wycliffe Road, Northampton NN1 5JF (liquidator's address).
Liquidator filed a notice of disclaimer with the Registrar of Companies.
Act now on consumer protection. If Snug Energy was RECC-registered when your system was installed, their consumer protection scheme has claim windows. Check the RECC register and file a complaint as soon as possible. Section 75 credit card claims also have time limits.
The company is gone, but your system isn't. Here's what's affected and what isn't.
Installer workmanship warranty — Snug Energy can no longer honour this directly. However, if your installation included an insurance-backed guarantee (IBG), that cover survives the installer's closure. IBGs are typically 2, 5, or 10 years depending on the level purchased — check your paperwork for a certificate. If you're outside the IBG period or didn't have one, workmanship faults will need an independent engineer.
Aftercare and support — gone. No one to call for system queries, monitoring help, or firmware updates.
Monitoring access — may be locked. If Snug Energy registered your inverter under their company account, the login has died with the business.
Scheduled maintenance — cancelled. Any annual service agreement or planned visits will not happen.
Insurance-backed guarantee (IBG) — if your installation came with one, this is specifically designed to survive installer closure. IBGs typically run for 2, 5, or 10 years depending on the level purchased. Check your installation paperwork for an IBG certificate.
Manufacturer warranties — valid. Your inverter, battery, and panels each have separate manufacturer warranties that are independent of the installer. You can usually claim directly with the manufacturer. Two exceptions: GivEnergy Ltd entered administration on 9 April 2026 and no further hardware warranties will be honoured (GivEnergy warranty guide), and Fox ESS claims go through a Local Installer, a role we can take on (Fox ESS warranty guide).
Your generation data — safe on the manufacturer's servers. Monitoring data is not lost when the installer account closes — it just needs to be transferred to your own account.
MCS registration — permanent. If Snug Energy registered your installation with MCS, that record is independent and searchable at mcscertified.com.
Consumer protection — possibly. Snug Energy held RECC accreditation, which includes consumer protection for installations completed while they were members.
Work through these in order. Some have time limits, so start with consumer protection and financial claims before moving to the technical recovery.
First, check your installation paperwork for an insurance-backed guarantee (IBG) certificate — if you have one, this is designed to cover workmanship faults when an installer ceases trading. IBGs are typically 2, 5, or 10 years depending on the level purchased. Next, search the RECC register for Snug Energy to confirm they were a member when your installation was completed — if they were, file a complaint through the RECC consumer protection scheme, which may cover remedial work up to £2,500 and includes deposit protection. If you paid by credit card, contact your card issuer about a Section 75 claim. These all have time limits — act first.
Before spending money on anything, find out what state the system is actually in. A free remote diagnostic gives you a structured assessment: is the system generating, are there faults, what's the monitoring status, and what needs attention. This becomes your action plan.
Snug Energy almost certainly registered your inverter under their installer account — that's standard practice for Doncaster-area installers. You'll need the inverter serial number (on the label on the unit) and proof of address to claim it. Our Monitoring Account Transfer service handles this — or follow the step-by-step guide to do it yourself. Once transferred, you'll see live generation data and can spot faults immediately. We do not handle GivEnergy account transfers, because the owner can do them in the app. If your installer has gone, another installer can ask for access at givenergy.cloud/temporary-access, and the account owner approves it. Read the GivEnergy transfer guide.
Snug Energy installations are recent, so the paperwork trail should still be fresh. Check for your MCS certificate, DNO notification, warranty cards, and commissioning report. If they didn't hand these over — or you've lost them — search mcscertified.com for your MCS certificate and contact Northern Powergrid (the DNO for Doncaster and South Yorkshire) to confirm the G99 notification was filed. Our Documentation Recovery guide covers the full process.
Your Snug Energy system is still young — the first few years are when configuration drift, firmware issues, and early component faults are most common. Without Snug Energy coming back for scheduled check-ups, an independent annual maintenance visit catches these early and keeps the system optimised. From £195 per year.
We're based in Yorkshire and cover the same areas Snug Energy served. These are the services most relevant to your situation.
Snug Energy systems are recent installs, so the hardware should still be in good shape. Recovery focuses on re-establishing monitoring, rebuilding documentation they didn't hand over, and checking for any early faults or configuration issues while the system is young.
System Recovery →Snug Energy likely registered your inverter under their company account. We contact the manufacturer, verify your ownership, and move the system to your own homeowner account so you can track generation again.
Monitoring transfer →Not sure if your Snug Energy system is working properly? A 30–45 minute engineer call gives you a clear picture — faults, monitoring status, and a written action plan. Free — £125 only if we fix it remotely.
Remote diagnostic →Snug Energy systems are new enough that most manufacturer warranties should still be active. If you've got an inverter or battery fault, we help with the claim.
Warranty support →Concerned about the quality of your Snug Energy installation? An on-site inspection covers wiring, mounting, earthing, and panel configuration. Written report for RECC claims, insurance, or peace of mind.
Independent inspection →Your Snug Energy system is still young, but without an installer to come back for the first-year check, an independent annual service catches configuration drift and teething issues early. From £195.
Annual maintenance →Snug Energy operated across South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, and Lincolnshire. We're based in Yorkshire and provide on-site support across all of these areas. Remote diagnostics are available nationwide.
