The energy produced can be consumed locally or sold back to the national grid when production exceeds the user\u2019s demand.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Key Benefits of Participating in the Program<\/b><\/h3><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Substantial Electricity Savings:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Generating your own power through a solar rooftop system directly reduces your monthly utility bills. With sufficient production capacity, you may significantly minimize your electricity costs. Furthermore, the government\u2019s &#8220;Solar for Citizens&#8221; policy allows participants to sell excess electricity back to the grid at a rate of <\/span><b>2.20 Baht per unit<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Adopting solar energy lessens the reliance on fossil-fuel-based power sources, such as oil or coal, which are primary contributors to greenhouse gas emissions. This makes solar energy a vital part of environmental conservation efforts.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Income from Surplus Energy:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If your system generates more electricity than required for daily use, you can supply the surplus back to the public utility system to generate additional income.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Environmental Promotion:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Utilizing solar power encourages the shift away from &#8220;unclean&#8221; energy sources and fosters the adoption of eco-friendly, renewable energy alternatives.<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Solar for Citizens&#8221; (Solar Phak Prachachon) and Solar Rooftop installations have become a significant trend in Thailand.
