STS were incredibly responsive and helpful In diagnosing an issue with my GivEnergy inverter. Although distance meant it was impractical for me to use them to fully solve the issue, I’m grateful for the help and detail they provided. Don is a real professional gent and a hero in my eyes.

I had a red status light on my GivEnergy battery pack and Ron at Solar Tech Support was a great help resolving the problem. He was able to do a remote diagnosis of the invertor BMS firmware and hardware and gave very quick practical and professional support. Thanks Rob

My GivEnergy solar and battery system is failing intermittently, GivEnergy is in administration and so is my installer, so it was a relief to get Ron’s expert advice.

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)

FAQ

Frequently asked

Start with the free remote diagnostic if you're not sure what's wrong: we review your system data, identify the fault, and tell you exactly what it will take to fix it. If the fault is already confirmed and needs an engineer, book solar system repair; for urgent failures and safety-critical alarms, use the same-day emergency repair service. Specialist jobs such as inspections, monitoring account transfers, warranty claims and paperwork each have a dedicated service listed above.
The remote diagnostic is free, on a no-fix-no-fee basis. On-site repair starts at £295, same-day emergency callouts range from £295 to £495, and a full remote health check is £145. Every price is confirmed in writing before any work begins, so there are no surprise invoices.
Remote diagnostics are typically carried out the same or next day, and most faults are identified within a 30-minute session. For urgent faults and safety-critical alarms, the emergency repair service offers same-day response when you call before noon. On-site repair visits are then scheduled once the fault is confirmed, so you only book an engineer when the fix is known.
Yes in most cases: STS is independent, engineer-led and works across all major inverter and battery brands. Remote diagnostics and health checks are available UK-wide. On-site visits cover a wide area from our Yorkshire base, with South Wales served from Cardiff; see the areas page for the full coverage list.
