BEKO’s Watford facility achieved self-sustainability, saving 15.69t of CO2 annually and generating surplus energy, thanks to a cutting-edge solar solution from Advantage Utilities.
Intro
BEKO, a globally recognised leader in high-quality home appliances, is committed to sustainability and environmental stewardship.
This commitment is exemplified at their Watford facility, where advanced technology and sustainable practices work together to minimise environmental impact and achieve energy self-sufficiency.
The Challenge
BEKO aimed to align its Watford facility with stringent sustainability standards. The goal was to drastically reduce CO2 emissions, achieve substantial energy savings, and ideally, reach self-sufficiency while contributing surplus energy back to the grid.
Meeting these stringent sustainability standards required a top-tier, reliable, and technologically advanced energy solution.
The Solution

To realise their sustainability goals, BEKO partnered with Advantage Utilities, a company that shares their commitment to quality, reliability, and environmental stewardship.
Advantage Utilities implemented a cutting-edge solar energy solution at the Watford facility, which included:
- 208 SolarWatt Panel vision AM 4.5 pure 425 (Glas-Glas): These high-efficiency solar panels are known for their durability and superior energy generation capabilities.
- 105 SolarEdge S1000 Optimisers: These devices ensure that each panel operates at maximum efficiency, even if individual panels are shaded or dirty.
- 1 SolarEdge 66.6K Inverter: This state-of-the-art inverter converts the solar energy generated into usable electricity for the facility, ensuring optimal energy generation and reliability.
This solution was designed not only to meet BEKO’s immediate energy needs but also to exceed them, allowing the facility to contribute excess energy back to the grid, thus supporting wider community sustainability efforts.
The Outcome
The collaboration between BEKO and Advantage Utilities has delivered significant environmental, economic, and technological benefits:
