Being in the solar installation business since 2010, Kunini is a Solar EPC Contractor based in Thailand, installing solar rooftops for SME, Commercial and Industrial properties. Offering three types of systems, namely on-grid, solar hybrid and off-grid, the flexibility in choice allows you to choose a suitable system that will fit your needs.
Solar electrical power generation can be divided into two forms, photovoltaics (PV) and solar thermal heat systems. The photovoltaic process in solar cells converts solar energy directly into electricity. In a solar thermal heat system, solar energy is concentrated via reflections and used to heat fluids to generate steam, whichin turn drives a turbine that produces electricity. This is
Among the total planned renewable energy capacity of 18,696 MW, solar power in Thailand is expected to provide 9,290 MW, of which floating PV will account for 2,725 MW.
Thailand''s solar and renewable energy potential far exceeds what''s been installed to date, however. Thailand has the one of the largest, and the most diverse, bases of renewable energy resources of any ASEAN nation, according to
In particular, the use of solar power for electricity generation is important to reduce imported energy because Thailand''s primary commercial energy imports comprise approximately 50%, of all of Thailand''s energy. The government has supported renewable energy through the long-term 22-year Alternative Energy Development Plan 2015–2036 (AEDP 2015),
The 25-year agreements mark a strategic shift in Thailand''s power generation, with an increased focus on solar energy. "Egat can sidestep the volatility of fuel prices through buying electricity from the 25 solar farms," said Yupapin Wangviwat, Gulf''s deputy chief executive and chief financial officer.

In 2023, natural gas accounted for the highest power generation capacity in Thailand, with approximately 129 thousand gigawatt hours, followed by coal and lignite. In that same period, there were
Thailand''s government plans on installing more 10 GW solar PV by the end of 2037. To reach the goal, the appropriate level of incentives should be in place. Current buyback rate of 1.68 THB/kWh (0.05 USD/kWh) is not much attractive to customers.
Thailand''s solar and renewable energy potential far exceeds what''s been installed to date, however. Thailand has the one of the largest, and the most diverse, bases of renewable energy resources of any ASEAN nation, according to national and international assessments, which means there''s plenty of room for growth.

Of the total global solar PV capacity, 0.34% is in Thailand. Listed below are the five largest active solar PV power plants by capacity in Thailand, according to GlobalData''s power plants database. GlobalData uses proprietary data and analytics to provide a complete picture of the global solar PV power segment.
Solar power in Thailand is expected to lead the transformation of Thailand's power sector with 22.8GW of new capacity. By then, the proportion of the total installed capacity of solar power in Thailand will rise from 5% today to 29%.
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.
Thailand has great solar potential, especially the southern and northern parts of the northeastern region of Udon Thani Province and certain areas in the central region.

A solar power milestone was reached in Thailand in 2017 as cumulative installed capacity surpassed the 3-gigawatt (GW) mark. At the beginning of 2019, Thailand looks back to eight tumultuous years of mostly favorable solar energy developments and a few failures.
In Thailand, these are comprised of rooftop PV systems, ground-mounted PV systems and floating PV systems. The implementation can be done in both self-consumption with the ability to sell the excess electricity back to the grid, and with the private power purchase agreement (private-PPA) aspects.
Development advantages of solar power in Thailand From a climate perspective, most areas in Thailand have a tropical monsoon climate, characterized by high temperatures all year round and distinct dry and wet seasons. Thailand is located near the equator, with long sunshine hours and abundant solar power in Thailand.
