The most critical moment in the installation of the new plant is during fitting. The connection points for solar panels are tiny and require extra care and practice.

The water cools the photovoltaic modules, so they are 15% more efficient than modules commonly used on top of homes. 16 new solar power plant projects are already being planned in Thailand for the coming years.

Thailand and the renewable energy market

Thailand intends to broaden its horizons in the field of clean energy sources with the creation of a new solar energy plant. Plans for the future of the country have several sources in mind, but in particular solar, hydroelectric and biomass energy.
