The government is preparing a rooftop solar scheme with subsidies of up to 50,000 baht per household, aiming to attract 1.5 million households, with registration expected to begin in October. Separately, the government plans a community-based solar programme targeting 1,500 MW of solar farm capacity, which an energy firm, Mastec, plans to bid for. For a small business, rising power bills make rooftop solar worth pricing out now, and installers and maintenance providers may find new demand. Details such as eligibility and conditions were not in the article and should be checked with the authorities.
