Dead storage battery, no response to email, support line hangs up
Trying to get a response about my dead storage battery since April 28th (it's 18th May now). The battery has been offline for many months but I only noticed in April.
No reply to my multiple support emails beyond the first "we will get back to you" auto-reply, and when I ring the helpline the system hangs up on me.
The battery had issues in the past (when the system was new and I was religously reading their weekly emails and reviewing dashboards) and back then someone was able to remotely fix the issue. This time, unfortunately, I'm only getting crickets.
Based on this experience and the other recent reviews I'm now worried I spent quite a bit of money on unuseable tech. I will continue to update this review over time.
Impossible to get hold of
Impossible to get hold of! Trying to take over the ownership of my Solar Battery since my partner moved out and whilst my emails have been acknowledged and given a reference I have been simply ignored from there. There is a fault with the battery, but impossible to resolve! Trying to call them is also impossible. Cut off multiple times and then left ringing endlessly. Absolutely shocking company who clearly don't care about customers once they have your money!! Avoid wherever possible!!!
Horrible
They have changed their portal overnight and suddenly announced it to customers. It's completely unworkable. Impossible to sign in now and check our details. Have tried and tried. There is (of course) no customer service. Just a useless bot. Avoid.
Rarely works
The app I use to monitor and control my solar system rarely works with any consistency or reliability, so I am unable to track my usage or what I am saving, the whole system seems to be held together with spit, duct tape, happy thoughts and excuses.
Can you imagine if this app and its reliabilty were a car!? And you needed it to get to work, would you buy it? No!?
So id advise the same when it comes to GivEnergy, will it work when you need it to...... I'll leave the answer with you to decide
I now await the company Rhetoric response to this message from the company handbook telling me how valued I am as a customer, and how service for the is their TOP priority ....... ha!
Worst company
Worst company I have ever had the displeasure of interacting with.
Pushed a software update that caused my battery to start charging from the grid making my solar output near useless.
Contacted customer service to find out how to disable it, sent 18th of March still no response as of 22nd April.
However I was sent a message telling me they are going to start charging a monthly subscription, glad to see they have their priorities in order.
Genuinely the worst customer support…
Genuinely the worst customer support service in the World! Phone number constantly cut off, email , pledged together back in reasonable time - 4 days later nothing, ring again even as an installer and cuts off. Cannot work how to re log in to my system.. Great kit , awful company
Appalling customer service
Been waiting for an engineer to check out our issues appointments keep being cancelled, customer service absolutely appalling, waiting in all day for engineer not to show up wasting our time, no apology no phone call email to say whats happening, still waiting for a reply back. Absolutely useless company!!!
Great service via WhatsApp
Great service via WhatsApp - a very quick fix - thanks
Givenergy - where are u
Givenergy - where r u ? Left message with my fault 31/03. Say they’ll reply in 5 days. No reply to message or follow up. Only get unhelpful AI response to tel call or hang up.
Just found out.
GivEnergy
🚨 Latest confirmed position (as of 12–13 April 2026)
• GivEnergy has now entered administration
• Administrators were formally appointed around 9 April 2026
• This followed a Notice of Intention to Appoint Administrators filed on 7 April
👉 So the timeline is:
• 7 April – Notice filed (first legal step)
• ~9 April – Administrators appointed
• By 12–13 April – Widely reported as officially in administration
Avoid - poor product and no customer support
Systems is failing and customer contact impossible to reach. The battery appears to have lost almost all its capacity despite only ever being operated in standard settings and only 2 years old. GivEnergy have failed to respond to my email for over two weeks.
No response from Giverergy
No response from Giverergy
A week ago my 3 Givenergy batteries stopped supplying the house demand although 2 are full and the other almost full. I have tried contacting Givenergy on multiple occasions using phone, email, and whatsapp with absolutely no success.
I have tried all the instructions contained in the Troubleshooting Guide but none have resolved the issue.
If I had known how bad this company is at post installation support I would have gone elsewhere. As it is I have a very expensive system sitting idle while my solar energy goes to the grid and I use electricity from the most expensive times of the day
Difficult to Contact Support
Cannot get hold of support and no responses to emails. A helpful new "AI" phone service takes your details, but does not let you speak to a human, and no replies to emails. It is really unfortunate when the system advises you need to contact them for a low voltage reset after a power outage.
Only 4 weeks and counting now without any batteries.
APPLIED TO GO INTO ADMINISTRATION 7…
APPLIED TO GO INTO ADMINISTRATION 7 APRIL 2026. Do not have anything to do with this company..
Support is non-existent!
Getting any sort of support from this company seems impossible. On WhatsApp you type in your question, you're asked for name, surname and email and then get a message that they're busy and message them again. The phone line cuts off if you select the customer option. The website claims to have a bot button but it isn't there. Arrrrrhhhh!!!!!!!
Our GiveEnergy solar panels caught on fire
Our solar panels caught on fire and I urgently needed GiveEnergy to send someone out to deal with the problem but they have no customer service - it's existent. When only hold incessantly I'm told that I can contact them via live chat or Whatsapp but their website and app have no such support available. I never managed to reach them over the phone. Avoid this company at ALL COSTS.
Absolutely avoid this company.
Absolutely avoid this company.
Customer service is virtually nonexistent — emails go unanswered, web chat is unavailable, and phone support involves waiting over an hour just to speak to someone. When you finally get through, you're simply told to contact the installer, with no real assistance provided.
My WiFi stopped working on a unit that was only a few months old. I was informed it needs replacing, yet I’ve now been waiting over two months with no replacement and no clear timeline.
This system was a significant investment intended to reduce energy costs, but it’s clear the company has little interest in supporting its customers once the sale is made. Based on my experience — and many similar reviews — I strongly recommend staying away.
Administrators called in
I have GivEnergy system which for the last three years has been OK. Any questions I have had for the last 6 months have gone completely unanswered via email, and they just hang up on calls. Today they have called in administrators, so I am guessing my 10 year warranty will be void. Looks like they are planning to sell/move/integrate with PowerDog.co.uk who I would also now avoid.
Absolutely apalling
Absolutely apalling. We spent £4000 on a Givenergy system. First the battery caught fire (fire brigade had to be called and everything). Now the isolator has broken and we have tried 6 different people to get it replaced but every one of them refused to maintain a Givenergy system because Givenergy are so hard to deal with and so bad at responding. We are therefore in a position where we are going to have to replace the entire system, because it is impossible to get anybody to maintain this one.
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS FRAUDULENT COMPANY
unreliable kit and inaccessible technical support
If you don't believe this rating, please just try calling their technical helpline on 01377252874. Ive tried this as a householder requiring technical assistance over 20 times, each time the system hangs up instantly. Our EV charger hasn't worked for 4 days. I tried the installer helpline instead and have now been on hold for over 1/2 hour. It seems their technical support service is completely overwhelmed, probably because their kit is so unreliable.
My installer Lumos energy(in oxford)…
My installer Lumos energy(in oxford) installed give energy system at my place. Had i known they have such a bad customer service i would have never agreed for it. They are incredibly slow and bad at responding and if I need any help from the installer they are very slow to respond too. I just dont understand how can companies operate this way and get away with such poor attitude towards customer service. Please do not get give energy products is my advice to everyone. I had emailed them problems with inverter last time and I never received any help. Luckily my installer came and helped but I was charged a lot of money. Now I have Internet changed and I have emailed them and no response whatsoever. Its pathetic and such companies should be shut down..how can they provide warranty if they dont have a direct line ..I wouldn't recommend to anyone. Best is octopus.
