Energy Minister Akanat Promphan announced the household rooftop solar quota will rise from 100MW to 10,000MW. The government gives a 50,000 baht subsidy against an installation cost of about 140,000 baht, and surplus power is bought back by the state and deducted from later bills. Installations are capped at 5kW and applications go through one online PEA form. The scheme is scheduled to start next month. Businesses that install, sell or finance rooftop solar should prepare offers now. Owners with roofs should check their own load, since a 5kW system is said to produce about 600-700 units a month. The new PDP is still pending, and the Direct PPA for industrial users is being expanded with no overall cap.
