Fossil energy is slowly disappearing and appears to be the worst solution for sustainable electricity. At the same time, electricity prices are skyrocketing, leading to a situation where more and more people are willing to produce their own energy. Yet, today solar energy solutions are inaccessible for most people.

They require people to own a house, pay a large amount of money, file endless paperwork and hire contractors to be installed permanently. That is why the designers invented the Beem Solar Kit. The Beem Solar Kit is an iconic, plug-and-play, affordable solar solution anyone can install at home in less than an hour. Beem Kit produces 300Wh, costs $780, and is composed of four solar modules connected to one another.

Beem Solar Kit is simply plugged into a regular power outlet, enabling anyone to produce green energy, and take the first step into the energy transition. Iconic Beem Solar Kit is made of 4 solar modules that are recognizable thanks to a decorative solar cell floral pattern. With its modern and minimal design, the Beem Solar Kit blends beautifully and harmoniously in outdoor home decor, becoming part of one’s home design.

The Beem Solar Kit’s iconic solar modules not only make Beem a unique and recognizable brand but also lead toward a more durable and sustainable approach. When a user experiences positive emotions about their product, they want to use them over a longer period of time, increasing product longevity. Transportable Beem Kit weighs just 30kg and is delivered in 782x782x185 mm packaging that can be carried by a single person and fits into a car trunk. Moreover, each solar module, measuring 700x700mm, is designed to be easily manipulated by hand, making it very easy to install in any area around the home.

The “IKEA-like” installation guide that comes with the Beem Kit Installation was designed to provide a simple and fun experience, guiding people to gather a set of custom-designed accessories, and safely install their kit in less than one hour. We designed the Beem Kit to be as easy as mounting a frame of art on the wall. The final step is to simply plug the Beem Kit into any power outlet, so that in under an hour, anyone can start producing their own green energy.

The Beem Solar Kit can be installed on any house, wall surface, fence, or simply on the ground thanks to our custom smart mounting supports.
For even more flexibility, the solar modules can be arranged together in a linear or squared configuration. To catch the most sun, and produce more green energy, the wall mount supports can safely be tilted to 30 degrees. While the ground mounts are tilted for optimum solar exposure, they are also weather-proof and can resist 120km/h wind. The Beem Solar Kit inverter allows a total of 3 solar kits connected together, increasing the overall solar system power to 900 Wh. Thanks to its Beembox, The Beem Solar Kit can simply pair to the MyBeem app via wifi, allowing people to monitor and control their solar solution at any time from anywhere. Moreover, MyBeem gives users access to the Beemer community, where Beem Solar Kit users can share their positive impact and experience with the larger community of enthusiasts.
