Roland is a true gentleman. He provided a refurbished inverter when my givenergy one failed. The install was a pain and took him hours. I was expecting a big bill but he honoured his price despite the extra effort. While here he diagnosed a battery fault. He helped me get the battery down and recommended an excellent company who could repair the battery. Absolute legend of a person and company

Had issues with 10yr+ installation. 1 inverter going into alarm mode, unable to access monitoring apps and wanted someone to review and document worthiness of the 2 systems I have. As you will find with older systems, the original installers have moved on, other companies only want to replace and install new, or make up silly prices as they don't want the work, so struggling for 18 month plus trying to source someone to do this. Ronald managed to fit me in the day after contact as he was in the area. Spent a couple of hours on site, found issue with the inverter alarm and he monitoring this to find a total solution, got me back onto the monitoring apps, provided a report on the installations and identified potential areas of concern. These are the people you need for diagnostic reviews of your installations, long term industry professionals, who have a wealth of knowledge gained through working in the industry, know the differing systems and how to contact and approah the companies involved. These are the people you need if you are having issues with installers and / or product and/or supply companies.

Very happy with the support I got from Ron at Solar Tech Support with my GivEnergy battery problem. The battery having operated perfectly for 3 years suddenly stopped discharging. He sorted it out in minutes.

My GivEnergy solar and battery system is failing intermittently, GivEnergy is in administration and so is my installer, so it was a relief to get Ron’s expert advice.

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.

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.

What's included

Fault Documentation

Remote access to download fault logs, error codes, generation data, and diagnostic information in the exact format manufacturers require for a claim.

Manufacturer Escalation

Direct contacts at SolarEdge, Growatt, Sunsynk, and the other major brands still trading — we escalate past front-line support to get the claim seen quickly. GivEnergy is the exception: it entered administration in April 2026 and its support lines have closed, so GivEnergy claims now go through the warranty routes — installer workmanship cover, IBG, Section 75, or the MCS Consumer Code — and, where relevant, the administrator, rather than GivEnergy support. See our GivEnergy administration page.

Claim Letter & Evidence Pack

Professional claim letter with all supporting evidence formatted to manufacturer specs. Dramatically improves acceptance rates versus self-submitted claims.

Follow-Up Until Resolved

We don't submit and disappear. We track the claim, chase responses, and escalate further if needed until the claim is accepted, denied with clear reasons, or repaired.

Ideal for

Inverter or battery has failed within the warranty period but you're getting nowhere with manufacturer support
Your installer has gone bust and the manufacturer won't deal with you directly
Manufacturer is claiming warranty void due to "installer error" but you believe it's a product defect
You don't know where to start, what to send, or how to get through to someone with authority

How it works

1

Remote diagnostic confirms the fault

We remotely access your system to confirm the fault, capture error codes, download system logs, and document the failure in detail. This forms the evidence base for the claim — manufacturers need specific data in specific formats, and we know exactly what each brand requires.

2

Evidence pack compiled

Fault logs, error codes, generation history, and diagnostic data formatted exactly as your manufacturer requires. Professional claim letter included. Correctly formatted claims get accepted; poorly assembled ones get rejected or delayed indefinitely.

3

Direct escalation with manufacturer

We submit the claim directly to our contacts at the manufacturer's UK support team, bypassing front-line bottlenecks. We know who to call and what to say. This gets claims seen — and resolved — far faster than going through standard support channels. On Fox ESS, your installer makes the claim while they're still trading, and we prepare the fault and its evidence for them. If your Fox ESS installer has gone bust, we can be the Local Installer you appoint to make the claim. We find the fault in a free remote diagnostic, make and follow up the claim with Fox ESS UK for our £125 claim fee, and fit any replacement Fox approves, as on-site work quoted in writing before we start. If Fox finds no qualifying fault in a returned unit, its policy allows a flat-rate inspection charge or recovery of the replacement's cost, and if we made the claim, whichever Fox asks for is passed on to you.

4

We follow up until resolved

We track the claim, chase manufacturer responses, and escalate further if needed. You don't have to follow up or stress — we handle every stage. The claim ends when it's accepted, when repair parts ship, or when we get a clear denial with written reasons you can act on.

Why warranty claims fail without expert help

Manufacturers often make warranty claims unnecessarily difficult. These are the most common deflection tactics — and why most homeowners give up.

Front-line support bottlenecks

Phone lines are slow. Email responses take weeks. Dealer accounts get priority. Homeowners get stuck in queue.

"Installer-only" claim policies

Installer has gone bust or won't cooperate. Manufacturer says only installers can submit claims — which is rarely actually true. Fox ESS is the exception: Fox ESS UK's warranty policies let only the installer or Fox-authorised staff make a claim. If your Fox ESS installer has gone bust, we can be the Local Installer you appoint to make the claim. How we make a Fox ESS claim.

Bogus "installer error" rejections

Manufacturer blames the installer to avoid warranty repair costs, even when the fault is clearly a product defect. This is worth challenging.

Wrong or missing documentation

Each manufacturer has its own evidence format. Most homeowners don't know what to send, which leads to repeated rejections and stalled claims.

We have worked with all the major brands and know exactly how to navigate each one. We bypass the bottlenecks, challenge the deflections, and get claims moving.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Usually yes: manufacturer warranty is a product warranty, covering the equipment itself rather than the installer's workmanship or aftercare, and it remains valid as long as the system was installed correctly and registered at install. Many manufacturers will wrongly claim you can't claim without your installer — we escalate past that and prove you can. If the system is registered and within the warranty period, we'll get the claim accepted. Two exceptions: GivEnergy Ltd entered administration on 9 April 2026 and no further hardware warranties will be honoured, and Fox ESS UK's warranty policies let only the installer or Fox-authorised staff make a claim, but if your Fox ESS installer has gone bust, we can be the Local Installer you appoint to make the claim (see our Fox ESS warranty guide).
Don't accept that without question. Many manufacturers cite installer error to avoid warranty work — even when the underlying fault is clearly a product defect. We review the system logs and fault evidence to determine whether installer error actually caused the failure, or whether it's a product issue that should be covered. If it's a product defect, we'll argue the case properly. If it is installer error, we'll tell you clearly and discuss repair costs instead.
Most inverters have a 5–10 year manufacturer warranty, and batteries typically 5–10 years depending on brand. The critical question is whether the system was properly registered with the manufacturer at installation. We check registration status directly with the manufacturer, confirm the warranty period, and if you're within it, push the claim through our direct contacts, apart from two exceptions: GivEnergy Ltd entered administration on 9 April 2026 and no further hardware warranties will be honoured, and Fox ESS claims go through your installer. If you're out of warranty, we'll confirm that clearly and suggest the most cost-effective repair route.
All the major brands, including GivEnergy, Sunsynk, SolarEdge, Growatt, Solis, Enphase, Fronius, Fox ESS, Huawei, Tesla Powerwall, AlphaESS, Sigenergy, Duracell Energy, SolaX, Pylontech, Sofar Solar, Hanchu, Lux/LuxPowerTek, and Dyness. For the brands still trading we have established escalation contacts with their UK support teams — which is what gets claims accepted instead of stalled. GivEnergy is the exception: it entered administration in April 2026 and its support lines have closed, so GivEnergy claims now go through the warranty routes — installer workmanship cover, an insurance-backed guarantee (IBG), Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act, or the MCS Consumer Code — and, where relevant, the administrator. See our GivEnergy administration page for the full picture.
It varies widely by manufacturer and by how the claim is presented. Self-submitted claims routinely stall in front-line queues, where email responses can take weeks and dealer accounts get priority. We compile the evidence pack in the exact format each brand requires and escalate through our direct contacts, which gets claims seen and resolved far faster than the standard support channels. We then track and chase the claim at every stage until it is accepted, repair parts ship, or you have a clear written denial you can act on.
Our free remote diagnostic finds the fault, and the £125 claim fee covers the claim itself (the evidence pack, the escalation and the follow-up), whatever the outcome. On a Fox ESS claim we make as your Local Installer, you pay that fee plus any charge Fox makes if a unit sent back to it shows no qualifying fault. If a manufacturer denies the claim, we'll push for written reasons and escalate further if the denial isn't justified. If the claim is ultimately denied for legitimate reasons (out of warranty, confirmed installer error), we'll give you a clear picture of the situation so you can decide your next step, whether that's repair, legal action, or something else.
