Thailand Considers Adjustments to 'Million Solar Rooftops' Subsidy Scheme
The Ministry of Finance is reviewing the specifications and subsidy amounts for the 'Million Solar Rooftops' project, potentially offering 30,000 THB to small households.
According to a report by Prachachat Business, the Thai Ministry of Finance is currently evaluating potential adjustments to the 'Million Solar Rooftops' initiative. The proposed changes focus on revising technical specifications and the financial support structure to better assist smaller households.
Under the current consideration, households installing a 3-kilowatt solar system may be eligible for a subsidy of 30,000 THB. Jindarat Viriyataweekul, Director of the Public Debt Management Office, indicated that the deadline for submitting project proposals is set for September 30, 2026.
For residents and property owners in Thailand, this development is significant as it may lower the barrier to entry for adopting renewable energy. If finalized, the subsidy could make solar power more accessible for residential use, potentially reducing long-term electricity costs for homeowners.
However, it is important to note that these details remain under review. The final specifications, the exact amount of financial support, and the official criteria for eligibility have not yet been confirmed. Interested parties should monitor official government announcements following the September 30 submission deadline to understand how these changes might impact future installation plans.
