Commerical solar PV installer BeBa Energy recently completed a 1.51MW project for apple grower AC Goatham & Son, with the solar spread across existing roofs at Flanders Farm in Hoo and Howt Green Farm near Bobbing.
Alongside installation, BeBa also offers asset management including operations and maintenance and optimisation of systems as well as panel cleaning - having invested in a robotic cleaning system - and repairs in cases where inverters have run into a fault and the client doesn t have the support of the original installer.
