Paithong Ice Cream Shares Real-World Experience with Solar PPM
At Solar PPM, we strongly believe that the most meaningful insights come from real users who have experienced solar energy in day-to-day operations. Recently, we had the opportunity to speak with the management team of Paithong Ice Cream Co., Ltd., a well-established Thai ice cream manufacturer known for its commitment to quality, consistency, and long-term business sustainability. Their journey with solar energy reflects how renewable power can support both operational efficiency and corporate responsibility.
A Brand Built on Quality and Trust
Paithong Ice Cream has built its reputation on producing premium ice cream products using carefully selected ingredients and strict quality control. The company focuses not only on taste, but also on food safety, reliability, and customer satisfaction. Its products are available in various formats, including ready-to-eat frozen items and retail products distributed through shops and shopping malls nationwide.
Beyond product quality, Paithong Ice Cream places strong emphasis on innovation and continuous improvement. The company regularly develops new products to meet changing consumer preferences while maintaining high production standards. This long-term mindset naturally extends to how the company manages energy consumption—an important cost factor in ice cream production, where refrigeration systems run continuously.
Choosing Solar Energy as a Strategic Investment
To support its growing operations, Paithong Ice Cream decided to invest in a rooftop solar power system with Solar PPM, totaling 811.20 kWp in capacity. For the company, installing solar panels was not only about reducing electricity bills, but also about aligning with environmental responsibility and future-ready energy management.
During our conversation with the management team, they shared the reasons behind their decision to work with Solar PPM.
“When we compared budgets, Solar PPM offered a very competitive price,” the executive explained. “The contract terms were clear, the warranty conditions were solid, and the after-sales service gave us confidence.”
This balance of cost, transparency, and long-term support played a key role in the decision-making process.
Tangible Cost Savings and Operational Benefits
When asked how solar energy has supported the business, the answer was clear and data-driven.
“Solar panels have significantly reduced our electricity costs,” the management team shared. “Within just one to two months after installation, we could already see the results. Overall operating expenses dropped by around 30–40%.”
For energy-intensive businesses like ice cream manufacturing—where cooling systems operate around the clock—this level of savings has a direct and meaningful impact on profitability and cost stability.
During peak periods, the company reported even higher savings.
“At peak times, electricity costs can be reduced by as much as 40–55%,” they added.
Service Quality That Builds Confidence
Beyond financial benefits, Paithong Ice Cream emphasized the importance of system performance and ongoing support.
“The system performance matches exactly what was presented to us,” the executive noted. “And when we have questions or issues, the Solar PPM team responds quickly and clearly. That kind of after-sales service really matters.”
Reliable communication and responsive technical support help ensure smooth operations, especially for businesses where downtime or energy disruption can affect production quality.
Looking Ahead: Expansion and Energy Storage
Encouraged by the results, Paithong Ice Cream is already planning the next phase of its solar journey.
“We are considering expanding the system this year,” the management shared. “The plan is to add around 1 MW, and we are also interested in installing a battery energy storage system—if the battery cost fits within our budget.”
This forward-looking approach reflects how solar energy can be scaled alongside business growth, offering flexibility and long-term resilience.
A Strong Recommendation Based on Experience
When asked whether they would recommend solar energy—and Solar PPM specifically—to others, the response was decisive.
“One hundred percent,” the executive said. “Even before joining this company, I’ve recommended solar solutions to former clients. And if someone is interested, I always recommend Solar PPM.”
A Real Example of Sustainable Business in Action
Paithong Ice Cream’s experience demonstrates how solar energy can deliver measurable financial benefits while strengthening a company’s sustainability profile. With the right system design, reliable technology, and a trusted partner, solar power becomes more than just an energy solution—it becomes a strategic investment.
At Solar PPM, we are proud to support businesses like Paithong Ice Cream as they move toward lower energy costs, reduced environmental impact, and a more sustainable future.
