After exploring ways of making their business more sustainable, Biddenden Vineyards installed a 30kW solar PV array in 2015. The system was installed by a reputable installer and, for the first 3 years, worked exactly as it was supposed to. 

Unfortunately, in 2018, the solar inverter developed a fault. Sadly, between having the system fitted, and the fault developing, the original installer had ceased trading. As a result, Biddenden Vineyards were left with a system that was no longer producing electricity, and no immediate support. 

Biddenden’s reached out to BeBa who arranged for one of their technical team to attend site to assess the issue with the inverter. The inverter was deemed to be beyond economical repair but as the inverter was still in warranty – and the warranty sat with the manufacturer – BeBa were able to support Biddenden’s with a successful claim, and a new inverter was supplied free of charge. 

Biddenden Vineyards system now sits within BeBa’s portfolio of over 500 managed arrays.
