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.

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.

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

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

Super support. Delighted I found them. System battery was down for quite a while and no one would try to fix it as GivEnergy out of business. A few hours later and I’m up and running again. Brilliant service!!! Highly recommend them.

I can’t praise this firm enough. After hearing my solar panels rattling in very windy conditions, I contacted Solar Tech (as my installers no longer trade). Ronald was fantastic at explaining what he thought the issue was likely to be. Communication was great throughout keeping me fully updated. The team worked really hard on the day to carry out the necessary work. I can now sleep soundly at night without worrying about the solar panels on my roof. I would thoroughly recommend this firm. Thank you for sorting the problem out.

What the inspection covers

Remote and on-site options cover different areas.

Remote inspection — £145
Performance analysis

12+ months of generation and export data benchmarked against expected output for your system size and location.

Settings and configuration audit

Export limits, CT clamp settings, charge schedules, tariff alignment, and firmware version reviewed.

Battery health review

Charge and discharge patterns, depth of discharge, BMS events, and estimated remaining capacity.

Written independent report (PDF)

Findings, evidence, and recommendations. Suitable for solicitors, insurers, and dispute resolution. Delivered within 48 hours.

On-site inspection — from £295
Everything in the remote inspection

Full performance, configuration, and battery review included as standard.

Physical panel and roof assessment

Panel condition, mounting, shading, and any visible physical defects documented.

Installation quality inspection

DC and AC wiring, isolators, safety labelling, and electrical installation standards observed and documented.

Comprehensive written report (PDF)

Includes photographic evidence of physical observations alongside data analysis. Stronger evidence for disputes.

Who books an independent inspection

→
Pre-purchase property buyers

Is the solar system actually worth what's being added to the property price? Remote inspection gives you an independent answer before you exchange.

→
Installer disputes

Was it installed correctly? Is it producing what it should? Independent evidence for solicitors, RECC, or dispute resolution services.

→
Insurance claims

Independent documentation of what the system was producing before a claim event, and any evidence of damage or underperformance.

→
Post-installation quality checks

Was your system commissioned correctly? Many installations have settings errors, misconfigured export limits, or CT clamp reversals that cost money quietly.

How the inspection works

1
Book and provide access

Select remote or on-site. Share read-only monitoring access and confirm the system details (brand, model, installation date). For on-site, we confirm a site visit date.

2
Inspection (remote: within 24 hours · on-site: agreed date)

We review your data, configuration, and — for on-site — the physical installation. We document findings independently with no obligation to any manufacturer or installer narrative.

3
Written report delivered (PDF, within 48 hours)

Independent written report covering all findings, evidence, and recommendations. Suitable for solicitors, insurers, or your own records.

4
Optional follow-up

If you want to discuss the report or understand specific findings, a follow-up call is available at no extra cost. We can also provide a separate remediation quote if faults are found.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes. We are fully independent — not affiliated with any installer or manufacturer. The report documents what we observe in the data and configuration, and is suitable for solicitors, insurers, and dispute resolution services including RECC. It is not a court-admissible expert witness report, but it carries weight as independent professional evidence.
The remote inspection (£145) covers everything accessible via your monitoring platform — generation performance, battery health, settings, configuration quality. The on-site inspection (from £295) adds a physical visit: panel condition, wiring quality, DC and AC installation, safety labelling, and electrical standards. If you need evidence of physical installation quality, choose on-site. For data and performance evidence, remote is usually sufficient.
An independent solar inspection costs £145 for the remote option and from £295 for the on-site option, with the written independent report included in both. The remote tier covers everything visible through your monitoring platform, while on-site adds a physical assessment of panels, wiring and installation quality. There is no obligation to proceed to any further work after the report.
Remote inspections are carried out within 24 hours of you sharing monitoring access, and the written PDF report is delivered within 48 hours. On-site inspections happen on an agreed visit date, with the same 48-hour report turnaround afterwards. If you want to talk through the findings, a follow-up call is available at no extra cost.
Yes. As soon as you have temporary monitoring access from the current owner, we can inspect and report within 48 hours. If monitoring access isn't available, ask your solicitor to request it as part of due diligence. See also our guide for buyers of homes with solar.
No. We are independent engineers, not MCS-certified installers. MCS certification covers installer qualification and standards compliance. NICEIC is for electrical safety sign-off. Our inspection is performance and configuration focused — what is the system actually producing, how is it configured, and are there any problems? If you need formal MCS audit or NICEIC electrical sign-off, you need a separate qualified contractor.
All findings are documented in the report with recommendations. If there are settings issues, we'll flag them. If there are hardware faults that need repair, we can quote for a remote diagnostic or on-site repair — you're not committed to anything beyond the inspection.
