The Thai government launched a ฿50 billion 'Rooftop Solar for the Public' scheme, offering a ฿50,000 subsidy per household to one million residences.
This initiative aims to promote clean energy adoption and reduce household electricity bills across the country.
Key conditions include that the ฿50,000 subsidy cannot be combined with a ฿200,000 income tax deduction, and State Welfare Cardholders must forfeit their ฿315 monthly electricity subsidy for 20 years.
Registrations are open until January 31 next year, with applicants required to be Thai nationals linked to the electricity meter and install 5-10 kW systems from registered contractors.
