I wholeheartedly recommend. Many thanks to Ron. Amazing. Everything is fixed. And I feel safer now that I know where to come for support if anything else happens. I contacted STS for help via their extremely useful website which told me exactly what I had done wrong to require support. My GivEnergy battery had been dead for a while and an attempted firmware update had stopped the inverter. The support was prompt and very professional and over and above what I expected. I was helped every step of the way with clear instructions and e-mail support for questions. The issue was resolved within 24 hours and a technical report produces from log data to share with Octopus to try to get to the bottom of how the original issue occurred. Despite Ron saying that mine was a familiar issue with Octopus Intelligent Flux, this to me was service over and above expectations.

Saw Ron was advertising a refurbished 9.5 kWh on Facebook, within a couple of days Ron delivered and installed it into my current system, my existing 9.5 batter was also. Gen 2 running on firmware 3022. Literally took him 30 mins, from start to finished, within a couple of days the two batteries had balanced themselves, it’s now been a week with Predbat in control. Working perfectly , could not recommend Ron more highly Top Man!

Great service from STS after a power cut and brownout left my GivEnergy inverters effectively useless. After filling the enquiry form out I was promptly given clear instructions by email explaining how to run their diagnostic software and they were working remotely in minutes. Soon after my inverters were back running again. Very helpful and knowledgeable people - thank you.

Following the storm my givenergy system was effectively useless. I contacted STS after seeing other reviews and recommendations and they delivered. My system was a challenging one, but is now back working as it was - this was all done remotely by them using their own software and expertise. Great service, thank you!

My issue was assessed and resolved quickly once the engineer was able to look at the problem. This took a little longer than I had expected (3 days) and keeping the PC on all day/everyday with Sentinel open was a little cumbersome I thought. That said, with little support coming from GivEnergy nowadays it was good to find someone who knew the platform and could resolve my issue.

Great experience with STS great communication from Ron, very helpful and knowledgable. Installed me a second Givenergy battery to help take the strain off my original 9.5 that needs refurb due to a weak cell. They secured me an 8.2 arranged install. Levi arrived the whole install was done within 1.5 hours - great tidy job. Worked with me to alter my setup to allow easy removal of my 9.5 when i can get it away for refurb - very happy with their service and its reassuring to know there is a company out there that can help look after my givenergy system

Absolutely fantastic customer service. The team were incredibly helpful, responsive and genuinely willing to do everything they could to help get things sorted. With all the uncertainty surrounding the future of GivEnergy at the moment, it was particularly reassuring to have people who were knowledgeable, approachable and prepared to step in when needed. After a glitch with my firmware update caused problems with my system, these guys really did come in and save the day. They took the time to investigate the issue, explain what was happening and work towards getting everything back up and running. It’s refreshing to deal with a company that genuinely seems to care about its customers and is willing to go the extra mile when something goes wrong. Superb service from start to finish.

I contacted STS when I was having problems with my GivEnergy AC3 inverter and they were extremely helpful. They took the time to properly investigate the system, talked me through a number of things we could try remotely, and ultimately inspected the system to establish what had gone wrong. They identified that the inverter’s battery board had failed beyond repair, while confirming that the two batteries themselves were still healthy. They also provided a clear report explaining their findings, which was particularly helpful given the current situation with GivEnergy. What impressed me most was their knowledge and willingness to help. They didn’t just give me a quick diagnosis — they took the time to understand the problem and explain the options available to me. I’m very pleased with the service I received from STS and would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone needing help with a GivEnergy solar and battery system.

Making light work of a solar power inverter replacement job

The Solar Tech Support company was the only one to respond to a request for someone to supply and fit a new inverter for our solar panels after our old one finally expired after 26 years. Ron kept us well informed throughout, came and ascertained that the issue was down to the inverter having failed then sourced and fitted a new one. He got the system up and running again, set up the wi-fi performance feedback and took away the old inverter for disposal. By acting promptly and fitting the job around existing commitments we were able to get our solar power unit back in operation with minimal delay in the short while before we were due to go away for a week. The work was carried out very professionally and we were asked to confirm that all was in order the following day. I was impressed that, having recently taken on additional work for GivEnergy customers we were able to keep our solar panel down-time to a minimum. I would highly recommend for prompt attention and first-rate service.

Excellent knowledge and service. Ron responded to my initial query really quickly (same day), and confirmed that he could add extra panels and battery to my existing GivEnergy setup - something I’d been told by other installers wouldn’t be possible. Two weeks later (!), scaffolding was up and Ron and his team were on site to fit the extra 5 panels and two more GivEnergy batteries. I now have a truly optimised system, which has made the most of the south facing roof space I have, without having to start again with new kit. I’m now generating enough on the solar to fill my batteries, and avoid using the grid. I’ve also exported far more than before. Brilliant experience, well recommended.

We moved from BT to Vodafone recently. Unfortunately our GivEnergy AIO would no longer appear on the App. Additionally our GivEnergy EV charger stopped working. Vodafone insisted that their dual 2.4ghz and 5ghz compatibility mode would work with the 2.4ghz system. Unfortunately it doesn't. After nearly two weeks of trying to sort this, which also involved searching on various chat forums, I sent an email for help to STS. Within a very short time the same day I got a call from Ash, who is only 45 minutes away from us. He came and quickly got the AIO appearing on the app, so we could once again see the state of the battery. The EV charger presented more of a challenge as the QR code fixed on the side of the charger had worn away. Ash was able to find the necessary information to restore the EV charger to working order. I have a copy of the QR code and other information should we have an issue another time. I had bought a TP-Link TL-WA850RE that just works on 2.4ghz and this is linked permanently to the GivEnergy kit. STS are definitely the people to contact if you find yourself in a similar situation. We are very happy with the service STS provided.

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!

Solar Tech have been everything you expect and want from a support organisation. Easy to contact, quick to respond and their expertise and knowledge about GivEnergy Systems was amazing. All the work was done remotely, and they guided me through the recovery of a failed system, which ended up to be down to a physically damaged USB key installed in production that was corrupted and stopping one battery from working, locking the whole system. All fixed and the system is working again. Massive thanks to the team and their help. Will be my goto for any future issues with our GivEnergy system. The pictures shows the condition of the USB as installed..

I received a prompt response and excellent technical support for the remote diagnosis (Oxfordshire) and resolution of my GivEnergy EMS configuration. My GivEnergy issue involved a single inverter and battery that had a loss of calibration, a critical low voltage drop. It needed a recovery and re-calibration, and was supported via email into yesterday evening being resolved within 24 hours. Ron demonstrated a very high level of knowledge and experience in the intricacies of a GivEnergy EMS configuration, even surpassing the understanding of GivEnergy itself when it was still operational. I have already recommended their services to a neighbour as I’d be happy to use their services again based on the fair pricing and the quality of their support.

They told me they couldn't resolve it and the best they could do was offer me a replAcement at cost, so basically having to buy a new system. I happened to come across STS when searching for how to fix it myself. Ronald has been a god send, within 2 days all is working perfectly and set up correctly. When it comes to experts. He truly is the expert. If you have issues with your Givenergy system and don't know where to go for good help, give him call. 07944 877329. Thanks Ronald, regards Neil W

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!

Brilliant. He fitted a new dongle and set the system up properly. Even better, he explained why the storage batteries don't work in a power cut - not correctly wired up - expensive to fix, but a simple turn of the master switch will give emergency power. He is the third technician to look at this issue and the only one to resolve it. Friendly and appoachable, comes when he says he will and reasonable charges. What's not to like!

Absolutely amazing service. Ive had a couple of issues with my Givenergy system and couldn't manage to get in touch with Givenergy after they went bust. So I was searching on Google and came across Rons number. I sent Ron a WhatsApp message and got a prompt reply and he resolved the problem I had with my system. I can't recommend Ron enough its not often you get such a good service in this day and age. If you are experiencing issues with your solar system Ron is the man to contact.

After 7 months of not being able to access/control my system following a change of wi-fi provider, followed by the news that GivEnergy had ceased trading i was left high and dry. I was unable to get any help whatsoever from my installer, tried various electrical tradespeople etc but no-one knew how to help me. Changed the Dongle but then couldnt get this change recognised in the inverter. Found Solar Tech Support while researching yet again online. Ronald has been amazing. Responding very quickly to my emails and very knowledgeable on the system. Managed to give us the information we needed to get the Dongle up and running and created me another account which now works as it should. His help has been invaluable. Thank you so much. Reviews I saw from other people said Solar Tech Support are very good, but i would say they are Outstanding!! Thanks again for all your help- Mick & Sandra

After recently changing my fuse board…

After recently changing my fuse board the ct clamp broke, this meant my inverter was not communicating properly with my GivEnergy system. After several people letting me down, finally got put in touch with Ron. He came out within 24hours & resolved the fault within an hour, no fuse just got on with it. Work was tidy & arrived when he said he would. Ron followed up a few days later to confirm all was still good, great service from all involved.

Wow... a firmware update to my inverter sent the whole system into meltdown – the battery discharged, and the house seemed to be drawing power, and the solar, who knows where that was going? Aghhh... A short email exchange with Roland and Solar Tech Support sorted the problem... the firmware had reversed a setting (from when it was installed), and the CT clamp needed to be reversed. As soon as I had done that, the world returned to normal. Thanks, Roland; there is no way I would have come to that conclusion. Would I recommend them? You bet! Worth the fee? You bet, again!

Had issues with 10yr+ installation. 1 inverter going into alarm mode, unable to access monitoring apps and wanted someone to review and document worthiness of the 2 systems I have. As you will find with older systems, the original installers have moved on, other companies only want to replace and install new, or make up silly prices as they don't want the work, so struggling for 18 month plus trying to source someone to do this. Ronald managed to fit me in the day after contact as he was in the area. Spent a couple of hours on site, found issue with the inverter alarm and he monitoring this to find a total solution, got me back onto the monitoring apps, provided a report on the installations and identified potential areas of concern. These are the people you need for diagnostic reviews of your installations, long term industry professionals, who have a wealth of knowledge gained through working in the industry, know the differing systems and how to contact and approah the companies involved. These are the people you need if you are having issues with installers and / or product and/or supply companies.

Ronald was able to organise a brilliant electrician with extensive experience of GivEnergy systems local to me in the SW. I have now got a fully functioning system and suspect that my electricity bill will be substantially reduced or in credit over a year.

Solar Tech Support answered my initial enquiry swiftly. They provided remote support to establish what the issue was, and through their experience and network, managed to get my clients system back online. Once the system was online, STS managed to diagnose the main issue to get the ac coupled inverter and battery back online, a battery repair was required. A site visit was organise and within a few days, the system was tested and back up and running. This has saved my client, and probably myself huge costs and inconvenience now the system is back online and working correctly. Would highly recommend.

Absolutely wonderful support. I have a GivEnergy system that was installed in 2022, and a firmware update was flagged in the app, so I proceeded to update the software .... and immediately regretted it, as my inverter came up with an error, and was not working at all! With no GivEnergy support available, and my installer saying there was nothing he could do, I googled help, and found Ron. What a stroke of good luck! Submitted an on line enquiry late morning, and received phone call just after 5 pm, and later that evening Ron was able to supply me with old firmware no longer available on the GivEnergy web site. I was then able to update the firmware using a GivEnergy youtube video as reference, and hey presto the system was back up and running. One further slight adjustment by Ron and we are back normal. What a relief. I have no hesitation in recommending Solar Tech Support if you have a problem. Great service! And if you are a GivEnergy system owner, whatever you do, DO NOT UPDATE FIRMWARE!

Massively massively recommended. We had a big battery array (49kW across three phases) put in four years ago. c £35k cost. It’s been a total nightmare for many reasons, not least 1. our installer being totally useless and unresponsive and 2. Givenergy, our battery supplier, going bust. Long story short it had never worked anywhere near properly despite countless hours on phones and emails; the best we’d achieved was one third of the batteries working. Rather than write it off, I asked a PM friend to try to source someone who could come on site and review and revive the system. He found Solar Tech Support and Ron. Ron assured us he was the man to get it going again. After so many years of pain, I was not convinced but, true to his word, five hours later it was up and running. Lovely chap, super knowledgeable with a support team to lean on who are also clearly super technical. I honestly didn’t think there was much chance of getting this array going ever again so was absolutely delighted when Ron and team pulled it off. Bravo!

My 90-year-old father-in-law had a solar system installed nearly three years ago that never worked properly and kept tripping out. Neither the original installer nor GivEnergy could resolve the issues, and we were even pushed towards replacing the system entirely when GivEnergy went bust. I contacted Ron at Solar Tech Support via WhatsApp, and within a few hours he had diagnosed multiple faults — including incorrect wiring that posed a potential fire risk. He carried out a home visit in Nottingham for £295 (including parts), fixed everything, completed firmware updates, and ensured the system was fully operational. Since then, it has worked perfectly. Ron was knowledgeable, responsive, and took the time to explain everything clearly. Highly recommended — excellent value and complete peace of mind.

My GivEnergy hybrid inverter + battery system had worked faultlessly for 3 years when it suddenly stopped charging and discharging the battery. On contacting my supplier, who had used a sub-contractor for the installation work, I was provided with an email address at GivEnergy but, as it turned out, this is only for GivEnergy Software who are not able to assist. A Google search led to the Solar Tech Support web site, which contains a wealth of helpful information. I requested a remote solar diagnostic, and after providing Ron access to my inverter, he was able to identify and fix the problem within minutes. I am very impressed by Ron’s expertise and knowledge, which included useful information on the current state of GivEnergy Ltd. I would thoroughly recommend Solar Tech Support.

A superb service from Ron who went beyond the normal service received from other Tech support companies. I live abroad and was badly let down when my givenergy system failed (and the company went bankrupt) and the local supplier ran away from the problem. Ron sorted the problem and even accessed specialist coding for the inverter that would not be available for suppliers. Ron also ran a full diagnostic to insure that all was in good working order afterwards. Without Rons support and patient assistance I doubt I would ever have got the system back up and running. Well done and thankyou and you have a customer for the future.

Contacted Solar Tech about my Givenergy battery storage system that wasn't working. Battery status was "idle". Given the company Givenergy had gone bust, I need independent quality technical help. Very patient and clearly very knowledgeable about battery systems Ron diagnosed possible issues and suggested several possible remedies. Worked our way through them and fortunately it began to work.

GivEnergy system consisting of two batteries, two inverters and a controlling EMS

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 is a super star. Two months ago my GivEnergy battery failed a firmware upgrade leaving it a brick. My installer couldn't/wouldn't fix it. GivEnergy couldn't/wouldn't fix it.

A flurry of emails later and Ron had diagnosed the fault (failed USB flash drive, something I'd suspected) and talked me through resolving it. Two months of nothing resolved in about 3 hours.

Life after Giv(up)Energy!

I can add to the list of customers who had already 'given up' on GivEnergy due to their appalling customer service, and that was before they went into administration. So you can imagine my desperation when, having changed my ISP and my Inverter, predictably, proving to be the only device that didn't connect automatically to my new network, I found zero prospect of any customer support with GivEnergy having called in the administrators just five days earlier! The salvation came from Solar Tech Support. My IT advisor stumbled across their web site and some very helpful tips for beleaguered GivEnergy customers, as well as an offer to provide direct assistance. Nothing ventured, I decided to drop them an E-Mail, with very low expectations based on my experience of GivEnergy customer support. Within an hour Ron had responded with some pin point advice, and after a few exchanges of E-Mails he had nailed the problem, enabling the combined efforts of my IT advisor and solar installer to resolve it and reconnect my Inverter. Thank you Solar Tech Support, and Ron in particular, for coming to the aid of a deserted and despondent GivEnergy customer. Expert, razor sharp advice and first class customer service, even though I wasn't officially a customer.

Excellent Service (GivEnergy lifesavers)

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.
