Large-scale growth of solar rooftops in Thailand is now starting, after a decade of explosive growth in solar farms. Many big Thai corporate names have already announced solar rooftop investments. Capital costs have declined to a level which makes solar rooftops of any size economically attractive, and the use of clean energy is increasingly imposed by large customers as a condition of business. The Thai government has announced a radical expansion in the share of solar rooftop generation in total electricity generation.

The focus of the discussion will be on practical issues affecting companies and individuals who are interested in installing solar panels on their roofs, and who want information on how to get it done, and on costs, benefits and any risks. Companies interested in providing services to that market may also benefit. 

Issues treated will include: options for installation, lead-times, availability and feasibility of battery storage for night-time, costs, payback, quality/reliability, guarantees, O&M issues, the contracts likely to apply. 

For the Q&A panel discussion, the speakers will be joined by Andrew Gordon, Business Director at Bangkok Patana School, who has supervised the contracts and implementation of an investment by Patana of over $1 million in solar rooftops, which now supply 25% of the school’s total electricity needs.
