Book replacementDiagnose first — free if we can't fixMy 3-year old GivEnergy Solar/Inverter/Batteries installation went down with all generated electricity going to the grid and absolutely no help available from the Administrators! Thankfully, I found Solar Tech Support and Ron, who used to be a GivEnergy installer. His knowledge and ability are phenomenal and he sorted everything out remotely. I cannot recommend him more highly and a really pleasant guy to deal with! Very many thanks Ron!!
Brilliant service from Ron - our GivEnergy inverter stopped working on Tuesday what a nightmare seen as the company who installed it are no longer in business. Through social media I found STS (Ron) he had a new inverter and it was fitted and working by Friday - what I thought was going to be a nightmare turned out not to be!!! Great guy great company - def my go to now for anything solar related - Thank you so much
Ron is incredibly knowledgeable about solar installs in general but knows givenergy products inside out and the key personnel that worked there from the start to the end. My problem was spurious in its nature but Ron spotted it straight away when he understood the installation details. In essence the installers didn’t fit the correct trip switch. He also gave me hope that in the future hardware repairs could be possible but it’s still early days. This guy really is in the know and keen to sucas a business If you need help don’t hesitate
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
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.
Thank you for your diligence. On this occasion the battery was able to be saved but they have given a route to hopefully arrange a repair from the manufacturer.
Leeds took to solar early and at scale. The feed-in-tariff years put PV on the brick terraces of Headingley, Burley, and Armley, and across the inter-war semis of Moortown, Alwoodley, and Horsforth — and those string inverters are now 10–15 years old, exactly where failure rates climb. On top of that sits the recent battery-retrofit wave: GivEnergy hybrids added to existing arrays right across north Leeds and the outer townships. Two generations of kit, two very different fault profiles — both land in our inbox daily, and both are a short drive from our office.

Age of the FiT-era fleet across the city — the classic string-inverter failure window

The housing stock shapes the work. Victorian terraces around Headingley and Hyde Park mean tight loft runs, shared party-wall chases, and inverters squeezed into eaves cupboards where heat shortens their lives — poor ventilation is a failure accelerant we design out at replacement. The city's large student-let market adds its own wrinkle: systems installed for a previous owner, monitoring nobody has access to, and faults that only surface when a tenant mentions the display is dark. We handle the recovery side alongside the swap.
Leeds splits between the FiT-era string fleet reaching end of life and the newer GivEnergy retrofit generation. The failure patterns — and the right replacement path — are different for each.
The dominant retrofit brand across Leeds — hybrids and batteries added to existing arrays in Roundhay, Chapel Allerton, Horsforth, and out to Garforth and Wetherby. Many "dead" GivEnergy inverters are firmware, CT-clamp, or comms faults — diagnose first. Genuinely failed units are replaced at one fixed supplied-and-installed price. GivEnergy in Leeds →
The volume FiT-era brands across the terraces of Headingley, Burley, Armley, and Beeston, and on estates toward Morley and Rothwell. Relay and DC-isolation failures at 8–12 years are the standard pattern; loft-mounted units that cooked every summer go earliest. Straight like-for-like swaps, or a hybrid upgrade if you're adding a battery.
The quality end of the FiT-era installs — common on private homes in Moortown, Alwoodley, Adel, and Otley. Longer-lived than the budget fleet, but the 2011–2014 Galvo and Sunny Boy generations are now past their design life. Owners here often take the chance to move to a hybrid and add storage.

SolarEdge optimiser systems on premium north-Leeds installs have their own diagnosis path — the optimisers usually outlive the inverter. We also replace Sunsynk, Huawei, Enphase, Fox ESS, SolaX, and every other major UK brand. Full service details →
Single-phase, 2–6 kW, all-in. The standard swap for Leeds's FiT-era Solis, Growatt, and Fronius fleet.
Replace a failed string unit with a battery-ready hybrid — the most popular route for Leeds homes adding storage. GivEnergy replacements also come at one fixed supplied-and-installed price.

All prices include supply, decommission, installation, commissioning, DNO paperwork, and a post-installation report. Leeds is our home city — no travel surcharge anywhere in the LS postcodes.
Leeds has one of the biggest student-rental markets in the country — Headingley, Hyde Park, and Burley especially — and a lot of those roofs carry solar the current owner never commissioned. The installer may be long gone, the monitoring registered to someone who sold up years ago, and the first sign of trouble is a tenant mentioning the box in the cupboard has gone dark. We do the whole recovery alongside the swap: warranty check, monitoring into your name, FiT/SEG continuity, tenant-friendly scheduling, and a documented handover for your file.
Effective Home — the Doncaster-based national installer and British Gas partner — entered administration in June 2026, and plenty of Yorkshire systems are now orphaned. If they (or anyone else) fitted yours, start here.
