My old solax packed in and was replaced by solar tech support. I am impressed at the very short time scale, sorted in only 3 days. Some were quoting 2-3 weeks. The old unit and all the packing was taken away.

Solar Panel Repair in Leeds
Leeds is where we're based — repair jobs here get the fastest response and most flexible scheduling on our books. The city has a dense mix of FiT-era arrays on terraces and semis, newer GivEnergy battery retrofits on suburban detached homes, and a growing number of new-build estates in east Leeds with pre-installed hybrid systems that need configuring properly.

Ronald tried to help solve a fault with communications between battery and inverter. Whilst in the end a hardware fault was diagnosed and not possible to fix remotely his attempt to fix and guide me through steps to fault find were appreciated. He was available at a time convenient to my availability. Great service for anyone requiring independant tech support for their solar or battery system.

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.

The ONLY technical person, who has ever exceeded my own high standards !!!! Being a professional commissioning engineer of over 37yrs in the field of emergency power generation, I approached Ron for some advice on a GivEnergy battery issue as happy to state I don't know everything. Not only did he reply immediately, his advice got the system working and all on a Sunday. You really do not get support as good as this anywhere now for anything. Thank you Ron

Leeds faults
What breaks down on Leeds solar systems
Leeds has a broad range of solar hardware across different property types and eras. The fault patterns we see reflect that variety — from ageing string inverters on inner-city terraces to misconfigured hybrid systems on new-build estates.
Ageing inverters on FiT-era terraces
Inner Leeds — Harehills, Beeston, Armley, Cross Green — has a high density of compact 2kW arrays installed through government schemes between 2011 and 2014. The string inverters on these systems (Solis, Growatt, SMA) are now 12–15 years old and many have stopped producing entirely. Replacement rather than repair is usually the right call at this age.
GivEnergy configuration and battery faults
GivEnergy systems are now the most common battery platform across Leeds. Frequent issues: battery importing from grid instead of discharging stored power, charge schedules not aligned to Octopus tariff slots, and portal showing offline after router changes. The battery and schedule faults are configuration faults, fixed remotely at £125. A portal offline after a router change needs the dongle reconnecting to your WiFi, and if it won't reconnect, we can set it up on site, from £195. Hardware issues are less common, but we handle those on-site too.
SolarEdge optimiser communication failures
SolarEdge systems are common on larger Leeds properties — particularly in Horsforth, Roundhay, and Alwoodley. Optimiser communication drops are the most frequent fault: individual panels showing no output in the monitoring portal while the rest of the string continues. Usually caused by a failed optimiser or a loose DC connection at the panel, diagnosed on-site.
New-build snag faults in east Leeds
Garforth, Micklefield, and Kippax have seen waves of new-build estates with pre-installed solar and battery. Common snag faults: export limits set incorrectly for the DNO region, CT clamps installed on the wrong cable, EPS circuits not wired despite batteries being fitted, and monitoring portals never activated by the housebuilder. We resolve all of these.

02
Remote diagnostic — free
We pull your monitoring data, review generation history, check battery telemetry, and identify the fault. If it's a configuration issue — CT clamp, charge schedule, export limit — we fix it remotely and you don't need a visit. If hardware work is needed, we know exactly what parts the engineer needs to bring.
03

If on-site work is needed, we confirm the cost in writing — labour, parts, commissioning. The remote diagnostic is free and the repair is quoted up front. You approve the quote before we schedule the visit. No surprises.
04
On-site repair
Engineer arrives with the right parts. Leeds is home base, so urgent faults get next-day response. Repair completed, system tested live, monitoring verified, written report provided. If anything needs follow-up, we schedule it before leaving.
