6 FAQs about [Thailand Photovoltaic Panel Project]

Will Thailand achieve its PV benchmarks using only floating solar farms?

Of course, it is not realistic to think that Thailand will achieve its PV benchmarks using only floating solar farms. With the high levels of PV radiation in many parts of the country and the availability of land for construction, floating PV farms may play an auxiliary role.

Will all new solar PV projects be installed on land?

However, not all of these new solar PV projects will be installed on land. The largest floating hydro-solar project in the world came online in Thailand in 2021, and its success has prompted the EGAT (Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand) to advance 15 new clean energy projects.

When did Thailand reach a solar power milestone?

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.

Does Thailand have a solar industry?

While Thailand is anticipating growth from hydropower, wind, and biofuels, its most significant expected growth must come from the solar industry. As of 2021, there was an installed solar PV capacity of 2.9 GW. By 2037 the target capacity is 15.6 GW, dwarfing all other forms of renewable energy.

How will Thailand's solar industry grow in 2021?

Like many countries in SouthEast Asia, this means reducing coal, oil, and natural gas usage and turning to renewable alternatives. While Thailand is anticipating growth from hydropower, wind, and biofuels, its most significant expected growth must come from the solar industry. As of 2021, there was an installed solar PV capacity of 2.9 GW.

Are floating PV projects viable in Thailand?

Historically, hydropower reservoirs have been an ideal location for floating PV projects and Thailand, with 2.7 GW of installed hydropower in 2021, certainly has viable reservoirs available. However, there are certain drawbacks to floating PV projects that are not found in land-based projects.
