Very very helpfuland so quick. Made sure that a non expert like myself understood what the problem was and how to resolve it.

Declan S · Jun 2026

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. The fault was very specific and only an experienced engineer would have thought to check. Suffice to say I'll be back if I need independent support again. Lastly you only pay if there is a solution. Outstanding.

Mr P · Jun 2026

My Givenergy battery stopped working nearly a month ago. After unsuccessfully reaching out to my installer, who looks like he's also busted, I found Solar Tech Support on a Google search. They fixed my issue in a couple of hours. Any frustrated Givenergy customers, I highly recommend these guys.

Sarma Amirapu · May 2026

Excellent response to diagnose a problem on our SolarEdge installation. Kept us informed at every step. Diagnosis quickly completed and solution implemented.

Les Bennett · May 2026

Prompt and useful support regarding my Sunsynk system lack of performance. Ronald simplified the technical issues to make them understandable. Many thanks, looking forward to follow up.

Patrick Keenan · May 2026

Amazing support, went out of his way to help try and get us back up and running

Paul Smith · May 2026

What a fantastic service. Had my fault diagnosed within minutes and actually managed to resolve the issue remotely within a few minutes more. This guy is like a “Solar Batman” helping consumers fix their problems using his extensive industry knowledge and expertise. Outstanding service. Thank you so much.

Andrew Palmer · May 2026

Excellent service from Solar Tech Support. Extremely quick to respond, easy to deal with and clearly very talented engineers. They were persistent throughout a complex GivEnergy battery issue and resolved everything completely. Highly knowledgeable, professional and reassuring support from start to finish. Highly recommended.

David Harris · May 2026

Ron responded very promptly regarding my GivEnergy battery issue, his knowledgeable diagnosis was spot on and resolved the issue on first attempt. Would recommend to any and all.

Simon Hill · May 2026

Ron made more sense in 20 mins than our installer has done over the last 12 months There is a jungle out there and you need someone like Ron to give a comprehensive overview and solution

David · May 2026

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.

Ian · May 2026

When my GivEnergy system had an issue, I was completely left without support and had honestly lost all hope. Thankfully, I searched online and found Ron, which completely turned things around. After sending him a message, he responded incredibly fast and called me to assure me that he would get the problem fixed. I really admire his dedicated, supportive nature and his determination to find a solution. With this kind of outstanding attitude and customer service, he has absolutely secured a future customer in me.

Sree · May 2026

Ron want out of is way to help, nothing was to much. He was very thorough in what he did Very knowledgeable I would highly recommend Ron and his company He did a fantastic job for me. if you have any problems, he'll do his best to help you out and resolve your problem. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them

Dennis Brown · May 2026

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)

Tony Deacon · May 2026

Contacted Ron with a problem and he sorted it out quickly with no problems at all. Very knowledgeable on anything solar/ batteries. I would recommend him to anyone

Phill · May 2026

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

michael fairhurst · May 2026

Contacted Solar Tech Support in desperation. After explaining the issues I had with my system a diagnosis was made and a solution proposed. Fantastic service, even contacted a manufacturer to arrange replacement parts for me. Great communications, explained all they were doing and what I had to do, clearly and precisly. Followed up to confirm all was ok. Excellent service.

Mr Machin · May 2026

After GivEnergy went into liquidation, just my luck, my battery started playing up (internal board crashed). Contacted my installer - not interested! Found Solar tech support on a Google search. Sooo glad I found this company! Ron is extremely helpful and has plenty of experience. He soon confirmed what the fault was, and helped me to get my system up and running again. Now moved my GivEnergy account to Solar tech support, and will definitely use again if I have more issues. Unusual to find such a helpful company in these times, no morons reading scripts, just direct contact with the engineer.

Keith Ballard · Apr 2026

Contacted Solar Tech Support when trying to understand what my Givenergy inverter problem might be and what might be my options. Received good/honest advise which backed up my thoughts.

Hugh Speirs · Apr 2026

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. Then they went into administration and all hope was lost. 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. It's great to work with someone who pays attention to the details, knows that they're doing (not just following a script) and gets stuff sorted without a fuss or up-charging.

Christopher · Apr 2026

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.

customer · Apr 2026

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.

Andy Thomas · Apr 2026

I sent a message on their website regarding a problem I have on my Givenergy system. Although not supplied by Ronald, I thought it was worth an email. Within the hour on a Saturday, he phoned and we discussed the problem. He logged in remotely and gave excellent advice. I'm too far away for his on-site help but he did diagnose the problem and was happy also to chat through my thoughts about an upcoming solar/battery install I'm planning. Great bloke.... if only he was nearer!

Nottingham context

Why Nottingham is hitting the inverter replacement window now

Nottingham City Council ran one of the largest residential solar programmes in the East Midlands during the FiT era. Thousands of systems were installed across council estates and private homes between 2010 and 2015, many through national installers who have since ceased trading. The inverters on those systems — predominantly Fronius Galvo, Solis Mini, and Growatt ShineWay units — are now 10–15 years old. That's exactly the lifespan window where string inverters start to fail, and Nottingham is seeing a wave of replacements as a result.

10–15 yr

Age of most Nottingham FiT-era systems — entering the failure window

Same week

Typical scheduling for Nottingham replacements once quoted

Landlord

High rental density — we handle tenant coordination and handover

The rental market adds a layer of complexity in Nottingham. Many buy-to-let properties near the universities in Beeston, Lenton, and Dunkirk have inherited solar systems where the landlord doesn't know the original installer, has no monitoring access, and isn't sure whether the inverter fault is covered by warranty. We handle the full recovery alongside the physical replacement — manufacturer warranty check, monitoring transfer, and documented handover for the landlord's records.

Nottingham brands

Inverters we replace most often in Nottingham

Nottingham's inverter mix is less diverse than some cities — the council scheme era means certain brands dominate specific neighbourhoods. Each has a different failure pattern and replacement path.

Fronius

Galvo and Primo models from 2011–2014 installs. Very common across West Bridgford, Mapperley, and Sherwood on private installations. The Galvo series is now well past its expected lifespan. Typically replaced with a current hybrid unit if the homeowner wants to add battery storage to their existing FiT system.

Solis

Mini and 4G models from council scheme rollouts across Bulwell, Bestwood, Arnold, and Carlton. High volume of identical units on similar roof configurations makes these very predictable to replace. The Mini series typically fails at the relay or DC isolation after 8–10 years — a consistent pattern we see across all our coverage areas.

Growatt

ShineWay and MIN models from 2015–2018 installs reaching end of life in Beeston, Stapleford, and Hucknall. Growatt systems in Nottingham were often installed by smaller regional firms that have since closed. A diagnostic confirms whether the fault is a full inverter failure or a fixable communications issue.

GivEnergy / SolarEdge / SMA

GivEnergy on newer battery retrofits — faults here are often firmware or communication issues rather than hardware failure. SolarEdge on premium installs in West Bridgford and The Park. SMA Sunny Boy on older high-end systems across the western suburbs.

We also replace Enphase, Sunsynk, Huawei, Fox ESS, SolaX, and all other major UK brands. Full inverter replacement service details →

Pricing

Inverter replacement pricing in Nottingham

String inverter
£795

Single-phase, 2–6 kW. Same-spec or updated equivalent. The bread-and-butter replacement for Nottingham's council programme Fronius Galvo and Solis Mini fleet.

Hybrid inverter
From £995

Swap your failed string unit for a hybrid that manages both solar and battery. Makes particular sense for Nottingham landlords looking to future-proof rental properties with storage.

Three-phase / large
From £1,200

8 kW+ and three-phase units. Assessed individually. Full pricing details →

All prices include supply, decommission, installation, commissioning, DNO G99 variation, and post-installation report. Same pricing as our core Yorkshire area — no additional charge for Nottingham. Yorkshire-wide pricing and coverage →

Landlord or inherited system?

Bought a Nottingham property with solar — and now the inverter has failed

Nottingham's large rental and buy-to-let market means many property owners have inherited solar systems they know very little about. The original installer may have gone bust, monitoring access may be lost, and the FiT registration may not have been transferred properly. When the inverter fails, landlords often don't know where to start. We handle the full recovery alongside the physical inverter replacement.

FAQ

Inverter replacement in Nottingham — common questions

For a typical single-phase string inverter in Nottingham, the all-in price is £795 — covering the replacement unit, safe removal of the old hardware, installation, full commissioning, DNO G99 variation notification, and a documented post-installation report. If you want to upgrade to a hybrid inverter for future battery storage, that starts from £995. Larger three-phase systems are quoted individually from £1,200. Because Nottingham's install base is heavily weighted toward Fronius and Solis units from council programmes, we keep common replacement models in stock. Not sure the inverter is the issue? A free remote diagnostic pinpoints the problem before you commit.
Yes. Nottingham has a large rental market, particularly around the university areas in Beeston, Lenton, and Dunkirk. We work with several landlords who have inherited solar systems on buy-to-let properties where the inverter has failed. We handle the full replacement including tenant scheduling, monitoring transfer, and documented handover. The manufacturer warranty on the inverter hardware follows the property, not the original owner — it may still be valid. A solar health check at £145 is a good starting point if you're unsure about the whole system's condition.
Yes. We cover all of Nottingham and the wider conurbation including Beeston, West Bridgford, Arnold, Carlton, Hucknall, Mapperley, Sherwood, Gedling, Bulwell, Stapleford, Bestwood, and surrounding areas. Nottingham is extended coverage from our Yorkshire base — about 90 minutes — so lead times are slightly longer than our core area, but pricing is identical and scheduling is typically within the same week.
Nottingham is our furthest regular coverage area at around 90 minutes from base, so lead times are a day or two longer than our core Yorkshire cities. That said, once the quote is signed off and we've confirmed stock, most Nottingham replacements happen within five to seven working days. The physical swap is a half-day job — decommission, mount, wire, commission, and test. Pricing is identical to our Yorkshire area with no travel surcharge. If you'd rather confirm the diagnosis before booking, a free remote diagnostic delivers a written fault report within 24 hours.
