Friends are selling excess solar power back to the National Grid - IN UK! Solar power in Thailand is targeted to reach 6,000 MW by 2036. In 2013 installed photovoltaic capacity nearly doubled and reached 704 MW by the end of the year. At the end of 2015, with a total capacity of 2,500-2,800 MW, Thailand has more solar power capacity than all the rest of Southeast Asia combined.

Any other more reliable source available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they do soon else I won't be around to enjoy! ???? Be a nice feeling to run AC when it is warm during the day and know that it was powered by the same source that was creating the heat in the first place.

DrTuner Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 A country that runs ACs but doesn't have double glazed windows or insulation in the walls. Waste of energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shall we start a separate thread, so that interested TVF members can read about it, discuss it and apply? I don't think that our roof could support the weight of even a few solar panels. Everytime the wind blows more than 5 or 10 kph it seems as though my roof is about to blow off with all the corrugated roofing panels flapping up and down in the breeze. Home construction here is quite peculiar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai people just haven't learnt about energy conservation; especially when you go into 7, & see the sea () of fluorescent tubes on the ceiling! However, when he decides - you know who I mean - it'll all be fixed in a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
