On 1 July 2026 a new 500 MW round of residential solar buy-back opened via MEA/PEA — 2.20 THB/kWh for 10 years (up to 5 kW per meter), plus a tax deduction. Here's how net billing differs from net metering, whether it pays, and how to apply.

Thailand has become a hyperscale data-center destination with hundreds of billions of baht in investment, and nearly all of it needs 100% renewable power. One rooftop can't feed a massive 24/7 load — here's how Direct PPA + Solar + BESS combine, with the reliability critical loads demand.

From January 2026, Thailand's 2,000 MW Direct PPA pilot lets qualifying users buy renewable electricity directly from generators over the state grid (Third Party Access) — the first liberalization of the power market. This first round is limited to BOI-promoted data centres with an IT base load of at least 50 MW. Here's how it works, who qualifies, and how to prepare.

From 1 Jan 2026 the EU's CBAM entered its definitive phase, affecting Thai steel, aluminium and cement exporters. Onsite solar cuts verifiable Scope 2 emissions with audit-ready reporting — here's how to prepare, plus the carbon-credit upside.

Solar doesn't just save on electricity — Thailand's T-VER programme lets qualifying renewable projects register and sell carbon credits as a second income stream. TGO's 2026 survey puts most seller asks at 50–200 THB/tCO₂e against buyers who often want under 50. Here's how it works, the ballpark numbers, the registration steps, and the caveats.

Want lower bills from solar without a large up-front investment? A Solar PPA / BOO lets a developer fund, install, and operate the system on your factory roof while you pay only for the power it produces, at a rate below the grid. Here's how it compares to buying outright, and what to check in the contract.

Thailand's draft PDP 2024 targets a 51% renewable share of generation capacity by 2037, and the new Direct PPA scheme widens the routes to sell that power. This article walks through the development journey — feasibility, land and grid, offtake/PPA, construction, and operation.

Many factories have ponds, reservoirs, or treatment basins sitting idle. Floating solar turns that water surface into electricity without using any land — and the panels run cooler, so they generate more. Here's how it works, where it fits, and the design factors that matter.

"How big a battery should I install?" can't be answered from factory size. The right size depends on the goal (cut demand charge / self-consumption / backup / arbitrage) and the real load profile. This guide explains kW vs kWh, the ROI drivers, and how to avoid over- or under-sizing.

Off-grid telecom towers run diesel 24/7 — expensive, hard to service, and downtime breaches the SLA. A Solar + LFP + Diesel hybrid cuts OPEX and protects uptime. Here's how, with a real 134-site project.

Hospitals cannot lose power — operating theatres, ICU, and vaccine fridges can't tolerate even a second. Gensets alone have a transfer delay. Here's how Solar + Battery + Generator delivers seamless backup, with a real project.

Island resorts and remote villages run 100% on diesel gensets — costly, noisy, polluting. A Solar Hybrid Microgrid delivers clean 24/7 power and cuts diesel by up to 60%. Here's how, with real projects worldwide.

Thinking about home solar but unsure of the payback, whether you need a battery, or what size fits? This guide covers sizing, batteries, roof safety, and real payback — with real installed homes.

Schools and universities consume most of their power during the day — exactly when solar generates — so rooftop solar pays back fast, often with no battery needed. Here's how it works, the payback, and real projects.
