Solar Power Generation Systems at Two Major

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. The household photovoltaic net metering plan has been launched, which mainly targets solar power generation systems with a power generation capacity of more than 10kW.
Solar energy is slated to be Thailand's largest renewable energy source in the coming years. It will be critical in driving the country's energy transition and achieving its decarbonisation goals. While growth has been steady, rapid deployment is needed over the next decade to make longer-term targets attainable.
With 22.8GW of new capacity (equivalent to 36% of Thailand's power generation capacity gap of 62.9GW), photovoltaic power generation technology will be a far leading component in Thailand's energy transformation. (Data source from: ENERGY BOX)
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.
Thailand boasts a technical solar potential exceeding 300 GW, yet less than 2% of its land area is needed to achieve this. By 2037, the market potential for rooftop solar PV energy is projected at 9,000 MW. However, as of 2022, only 1,800 MW of rooftop solar PV capacity has been installed, representing a small fraction of this potential.
Rooftop solar is also expanding fast, with the quota for public installations rising from 50 MW to 200 MW, plus an additional 50 MW dedicated to Bangkok. These changes reflect not just ambition, but momentum. Read Also: The Promise of Thailand Renewable Energy Initiatives

Solar PV technology is a proven technology worldwide for power generation [3, 4]. It is a competitive technology for power generation after a decade due to dramatic cost declines.
For Thailand to go net zero by 2050, it needs around 250 GW of solar power. That number currently stands at just 3.78GW [and projected to reach 6.97 GW by 2030], so to
