GH Bank Launches Solar Rooftop Loan Program
The Government Housing Bank (GH Bank) has introduced a new loan scheme for solar rooftop installations, allowing applicants to use electricity sales revenue to offset monthly payments.
According to a report by Matichon Online on September 20, 2026, the Government Housing Bank (GH Bank) has unveiled a new financial product aimed at homeowners looking to install solar rooftop systems. The loan offers a credit line of up to 150,000 baht per applicant.
Key features of the program include an estimated monthly installment of approximately 1,000 baht. Notably, the bank has opened the application process to the general public, meaning individuals do not need to be existing GH Bank customers to qualify for the loan. A central component of the initiative is the integration of revenue generated from selling excess electricity back to the state grid, which can be used to deduct from the monthly loan repayment amounts.
For residents in Thailand, this program may offer a more accessible pathway to adopting renewable energy by lowering the initial financial barrier to entry. However, potential applicants should note that specific eligibility criteria, interest rates, and the exact mechanics of the electricity revenue deduction process have not been fully detailed in the initial announcement. Interested parties are advised to monitor official GH Bank channels for comprehensive terms and conditions before proceeding with any financial commitments.
