Asia Jumbo Industries Shares Its Solar Installation Experience with Solar PPM
At Solar PPM, we recently had the opportunity to sit down and exchange perspectives with the management team of Asia Jumbo Industries Co., Ltd., a company operating in the confectionery and candy manufacturing industry, including a wide range of packaging products. With production standards that meet both domestic and international market demands, Asia Jumbo Industries has also taken a strong interest in adopting clean energy as part of its long-term business strategy.
For manufacturing businesses—especially in the food and confectionery sector—energy consumption is a major operational factor. This makes solar energy not just an environmental choice, but a practical solution that aligns well with the industry’s needs.
Why Clean Energy Matters in the Confectionery Industry
Today, solar energy is no longer viewed solely as a cost-saving tool. It plays a growing role in supporting environmental responsibility and responding to the increasing demand for efficient and sustainable energy use. For many businesses, investing in renewable energy has become a key part of strengthening competitiveness while building a positive corporate image.
In this article, we share insights from our conversation with Asia Jumbo Industries’ management about their decision to install a solar rooftop system with Solar PPM—highlighting both the tangible business benefits and the broader value created through this collaboration.
Why did Asia Jumbo Industries choose Solar PPM?
Asia Jumbo Industries Management:
“At the beginning, we were considering two or three solar companies that approached us. We reviewed each company’s profile carefully. What stood out about Solar PPM was that they manufacture their own solar panels. We compared several factors—some companies had experience with large corporate projects, but they were using imported panels, mainly from China.
One key reason we chose Solar PPM was that their panels are manufactured in Thailand. Price was also an important factor, but having locally produced panels gave us more confidence.”
How did you first learn about Solar PPM?
Asia Jumbo Industries Management:
“One of our company directors recommended Solar PPM. He had seen their work on YouTube and mentioned that they produce their own panels. At that point, I had already contacted a few providers, but after hearing that, I decided to reach out to Solar PPM to learn more.”
How has installing solar helped support your business?
Asia Jumbo Industries Management:
“The electricity cost reduction was very noticeable. We installed the system about two years ago, during a time when the Ft rate was extremely high and electricity prices had increased significantly. That situation really pushed us to make the decision.
That year, we didn’t have plans to invest in anything else, so we decided to allocate the budget to solar instead. From my perspective, solar is one of the simplest investments. Once it’s installed, there’s not much you need to do—just let the sun do its job.
Even if the payback period is around five to six years, that’s still very reasonable. It’s an investment that feels manageable and worthwhile.”
What impressed you most about working with Solar PPM?
Asia Jumbo Industries Management:
“The support team has been very good. Toward the end of last year, we discovered that part of the roof where the panels were installed had deteriorated. Our factory technicians reported that some roof sheets needed to be replaced.
We informed Solar PPM, and they were very supportive throughout the process. Their response and assistance were reassuring.”
A Partnership Built on Trust and Long-Term Value
We would like to sincerely thank Asia Jumbo Industries for sharing their experience with us. Solar energy is an increasingly attractive option for the confectionery and packaging industry—especially when it comes to reducing energy costs and managing expenses in the long run.
From the management’s perspective, Solar PPM’s ability to manufacture solar panels locally in Thailand added an extra layer of confidence, not only in product quality but also in long-term service and support. The prompt assistance provided when roofing issues arose further strengthened the relationship and left a positive impression.
Looking ahead, expanding solar installations could bring even greater benefits to Asia Jumbo Industries, both financially and environmentally. Once again, thank you for trusting Solar PPM and for sharing this valuable experience with us.
