After 7 months of not being able to access/control my system following a change of wi-fi provider, followed by the news that GivEnergy had ceased trading i was left high and dry. I was unable to get any help whatsoever from my installer, tried various electrical tradespeople etc but no-one knew how to help me. Changed the Dongle but then couldnt get this change recognised in the inverter. Found Solar Tech Support while researching yet again online. Ronald has been amazing. Responding very quickly to my emails and very knowledgeable on the system. Managed to give us the information we needed to get the Dongle up and running and created me another account which now works as it should. His help has been invaluable. Thank you so much. Reviews I saw from other people said Solar Tech Support are very good, but i would say they are Outstanding!! Thanks again for all your help- Mick & Sandra

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.

Excellent knowledgeable company which sorted out my Givenergy issues that no one else could sort! Initial remote diagnosis into what unit(s) where faulty which enabled me to confidently source and buy a replacement at a good price and on so doing Solar Tech then got my system up and running remotely within an hour or two. A1 service!

Ronald at Solar Tech Support was very quick and knowledgeable in helping me restart my GivEnergy solar electric battery. I would highly recommend his services.

Absolutely fantastic experience, after months of being fobbed off with rubbish from the installer Ronald fixed my issues in a few hours, his attention to detail and his tenacity was amazing, not only did he go above and beyond but did not ask for payment i had to ask him how to pay. If you need a solar fix this company is brilliant

Yorkshire context

Why Yorkshire has more solar repair demand than almost anywhere in England

Faults on Yorkshire solar systems are accelerating — and most homeowners have nowhere to turn. The region's FiT-era installation boom left tens of thousands of residential systems with no aftercare when their installers folded. Now those systems are 10–15 years old, and the components that wear first — inverters, DC isolators, MC4 connectors, monitoring gateways — are failing at the same time. The panels themselves are fine. Everything around them needs attention.

Major installers gone bust leaving Yorkshire systems unsupported

All brands

We diagnose and repair every major solar and battery brand

Manufacturer helplines can run remote diagnostics, but they can't send someone to your roof. Local electricians can do wiring, but they rarely have solar-specific fault experience. That gap — between remote diagnosis and on-site solar repair — is what we fill. We're independent, based in Leeds, and we carry out solar and battery repairs across Yorkshire every day.

Faults we fix

Common solar faults we repair across Yorkshire

These are the fault categories we see most often on Yorkshire systems. Each requires a different diagnostic path — which is why we always diagnose before quoting.

Inverter faults

Fault codes, blank screens, red lights, failed start-up, arc fault detection, earth leakage alarms. The most common fault category on 10+ year old Yorkshire systems. Repair or replacement — we confirm which before quoting.

Battery and storage problems

Battery not charging, BMS errors, BMS communication failures, firmware corruption. Common on GivEnergy, Sunsynk, and Growatt systems across the region. Often fixable remotely — hardware replacement only when confirmed.

Generation loss

System underperforming, individual panels not contributing, string imbalance. Caused by panel-level faults, bypass diode failure, shading changes, or degraded connections. We use monitoring data and thermal imaging to locate the fault.

Wiring and safety faults

Corroded MC4 connectors, damaged DC isolators, incorrect CT clamp installation, missing earth bonds. Common on systems installed without proper commissioning — especially social housing schemes across South Yorkshire.

EPS and backup failures

Emergency power supply not activating during grid outages, island mode misconfigured, neutral-earth bond missing. We test and verify EPS function on-site so you know it will work when you need it.

Monitoring and communication

Portal offline, WiFi dongle failed, monitoring data gaps. Often the first sign something else is wrong. We restore connectivity, recover historical data where possible, and set up alerts so you're notified of future faults. If it's just the WiFi, we can set it up on site, from £195.

Installer gone bust?

Your installer folded — and now something's wrong

When your installer folds, you lose more than aftercare — you lose the engineer who understood your system. Error codes mean nothing without someone who knows your specific inverter model, wiring configuration, and monitoring setup. We diagnose and repair systems left behind by Mark Group, Solarplicity, Snug Energy, and All Seasons Energy every week. No guesswork — we start with a full diagnostic before recommending any parts or work.

Full on-site diagnostic before any parts are ordered
We recover monitoring access (GivEnergy: the current owner transfers it in the app) and MCS documentation
FiT / SEG export status verified at every visit
FAQ

Solar repair in Yorkshire — common questions

Most on-site repairs cost from £295, typically up to £495, depending on the fault and parts needed. Configuration faults — CT clamp errors, export limit problems, charge schedule issues — are usually fixed remotely: £125 if we fix it, nothing if we can't. If the inverter needs replacing rather than repairing, that's typically from £995 to £1,495. We always confirm the full cost in writing before starting work. Full pricing breakdown →
We're based in Leeds and cover the whole of Yorkshire. For our core area — Barnsley, Rotherham, Doncaster, Sheffield, Wakefield, and Leeds — we can usually attend within one to two working days for urgent faults. Scheduled repairs are typically within the same week. A free remote diagnostic can identify most faults same-day if you need answers before the on-site visit.
Yes. We repair and service all major solar and battery storage brands: GivEnergy, SolarEdge, Fronius, Solis, Growatt, Sunsynk, SMA, Enphase, Huawei, Fox ESS, SolaX, Lux Power, and more. Yorkshire has one of the widest brand mixes in the country due to the range of installers that operated here during the FiT era. See all brands we support →
Yes — this is one of the most common reasons people contact us in Yorkshire. Mark Group, Solarplicity, Snug Energy, and All Seasons Energy all installed thousands of systems across the region before folding. We repair and maintain all of their systems. The manufacturer warranties on your inverter and panels are separate from the installer and may still be valid, with two exceptions: GivEnergy Ltd entered administration on 9 April 2026 and no further hardware warranties will be honoured, and Fox ESS claims go through a Local Installer, a role we can take on.
