The Interior Ministry proposed letting households install solar on the ground or floating, not only on roofs, with a meter required. Target is 1-1.5 million households at 50,000 baht support each, 5-10 kW systems, and buyback of 5 kW output at 2.20 baht/unit for 20 years. Registration is expected 1 Nov, pending board approval today. Loans via GSB, BAAC or GHB at 2.5% for 7 years. Installers must be on the PEA/MEA Vendor List. Bank repayment from sales income is not yet approved. For SME owners: if you run a solar installation business, check Vendor List registration now; if you have space, plan ahead, since the scheme is not final.
