Things to consider for purchasing a suitable solar electrification system

This section is dedicated to you, our prospective solar electrification system customer. Our goal is to answer some questions for selecting a suitable solar electrification system.

Solar electrification systems are used in two basic forms as follows

1. In areas where an electricity grid is available but you want to generate your own electricity (e.g. for reducing the use of electricity from the electricity grid, generating clean electricity or backup power).
2. In remote area where no electricity grid is available and you need electricity (e.g. for household purposes).

The uses of two above-mentioned forms are several objectives, and also the advantages and values are different.

1. In areas where an electricity grid is available, the solar electrification system that creates the great benefits and widely spread in Europe and Japan is called "Grid connected or Grid tie solar energy system". The investment cost of this system will be recovered in short term only when the government offers the subsidy programs (especially Europe).
   Nowadays, Thai government does not have any policy to support this matter so that you must purchase the system without any rebates for installing a solar electrification system. A 3 kilowatts peak system cost varies from 750,000 to 900,000 bahts and you can produce approximate 10-15 kWh/day. That means the payback period for this solar electrification system is very long.
   If you DO INTEND to generate clean energy to reduce the carbon dioxide emission and to be willing to install the system, we are also pleased to serve you as your purposes.
2. No electricity grid is available; the solar electrification system that should be selected is "Stand-alone solar energy system". The decision for using this system is the right choice for long term investment and environmental friendly as well. Comparing this system with a diesel generator, this system is more costly initially. You can find more information about this system in our product section.

If your house is connected to the electricity grid, we do not recommend you to select "Stand-alone solar energy system" because it is not suitable investment.
In case that you only want to backup power from solar electrification system to use when power fails, we have other solutions which is more cost effectiveness for you.

We hope you receive the correct information for making decision to purchase a solar electrification system. We are thankful that you are interested in our products and we are very pleased to advice you to select the suitable solar electrification system which is cost effectiveness for you and your country.
