Since you sound like someone who is connected to the oil Industry it will be difficult to discuss with you, because you will only believe in their propaganda. You would like to see examples: They are found galore here coming headlines for them: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/nov/18/the-forgotten-oil-ads-dat-told-us-climate- Change-Was-Nothing

I know there is a group of people who are of the belief that climate change has always existed and is not man-made. To this my answer is: Yes, climate change has always existed, but it happened over thousands of years, when flora and fauna had time to get used to the changes. What is happening now, it has happened over less than 100 years, and is in my eyes the greatest disaster of our time. The oil industry continuously sends out propaganda material to undermine the danger of climate change.

some scientists = 97 percent – agree that humans are causing global warming and climate change.

Yes, you are right the rising population is a big big problem. We call us self for the most intelligent race on the planet and many are intelligent, unfortunately the majority are not. We could have had a clean planet with no rising CO2 in the atmosphere if we had used nuclear energy. But the majority of the population didn’t want it for various reasons and the Oil companies certainly didn't want it. So, the oil companies scratch the back of the politicians and what did the politicians do?

Climate Change Did we pass the point of no return a long time ago? Let’s look at facts. According to climate scientists, will an average increase in temperature of only 7 degrees Celsius make large parts of the globe uninhabitable for humans, and this will happen gradually. The UN's climate models showed in 2019 that strong improvements must be made to CO2 emissions. If this does not happen, then the average air temperature on Earth in the year 2100 will have risen by approximately 3 degrees C. worldwide, and between 7 and 12 degrees for the polar regions, which are warming faster than the rest of the Earth. An increase in air temperature of just 4 degrees would deplete most plants' underground reservoirs of water, making it difficult to grow crops. China, India, Thailand and many others goal is to have a zero emission of CO2 about the year 2060. Will politicians around the world facing a huge awakening when it dawns on them that we have already missed the opportunity to stop climate change? Or do they just not care because it won't be their problem? No one knows exactly how many years CO2 remains in the atmosphere. But according to Nasa.org and others, it is expected to take between 300 and 1,000 years before it is broken down. Royalsociety.org writes: Quote: “Surface temperatures will remain high for at least a thousand years to come, implying a long-term warmer planet due to past and present emissions of CO2. Sea levels are likely to continue to rise for many centuries to come, even after we halt increases in average temperatures. Significant cooling will be needed to reverse the melting of glaciers and the Greenland ice sheet, which formed during previous ice ages. The current CO2-induced warming of the Earth is therefore essentially irreversible on a human time scale. The amount and rate of further warming will depend solely on how much more CO2 humanity emits in the future.” End Quote.

Sorry, I step on the toe of a republican

Should mention it is only the dollar where the baht has weaken, it still strong over for other currencies like euro, Australian dollar etc.

They used to be but since the US dollars economy apparently are strong the dollar has risen over for almost all currencies also over for Bath

Tax on Solar energy what a sick idea, but then again Australia and the USA are not among the countries there really fight Climate Change, like they do in Europe. UK has a lot of new project in the North Sea, as I remember, they are at the present building nr 3 wind mill park out there.

Okay. So, when the politicians in May says. Quote: “the policy is aimed at cutting the use of fossil fuel to generate electricity after the Russia-Ukraine war caused energy prices to skyrocket.” Quote ended. Then they don’t really mean it. It’s all blur because there is no new policy, no new rules, only a new price. They have not removed all the bureaucratic rules which, as I understand it now, makes it more or less impossible for a house owner to register his solar cells on the rooftop and sell what he/she are not using. So much sun in Thailand but what a waste of clean energy. Even if someone wants to start a new project, he/she gives up before they have event started because of bureaucracy. How sad, I really thought Thailand was in on fighting Climate Change. When you go to the northern part of Europe with much less sun. The politicians don’t block solar installation with bureaucratic rules, no they provide grants for Solar Installations because they want to fight Climate Change. And some of the countries up there do a pretty good job. Denmark for instance going from 100 % fossil fuels to now 50 % of all electricity comes from wind and solar power, and they aim to reach 100 % within 10 years. What does Thailand do?

Yes, you can sell it, new rules here, but you need to have an inverter there are accepted by the PEA. 2.20 per unit MONDAY, MAY 23, 2022 THE NATION SHARE Households can sell their surplus solar electricity to state providers at the rate of 2.20 baht per unit, the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) said on Monday. The Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) and Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) will buy surplus electricity from households with rooftop solar panels of up to 10kW capacity, said ERC secretary-general Komkrit Tantrawanit. The PEA and MEA would each buy 5 megawatts of household solar per year for 10 years, starting in 2022. Households must feed the surplus solar into the PEA or MEA grid within 270 days of signing the contract. The National Energy Policy Council decided on March 9 to extend the household solar project after its launch last year. Komkrit said no deadline had been set for house owners to apply to join the project. Meanwhile, households who do sign up but fail to meet the 270-day feed-in deadline will be given an extra 90 days to supply their solar surplus. Failure to meet the second deadline will result in cancellation of their contracts, Komkrit said. He said the new announcement also applied to households who submitted applications to sell solar electricity to the MEA and PEA last year but have not started operations yet. The two state firms will invite applicants to sign contracts within 30 days, Komkrit added. He said the policy is aimed at cutting the use of fossil fuel to generate electricity after the Russia-Ukraine war caused energy prices to skyrocket.

Thank you 007 Red

Thank you Bandersnatch For others there might be interested in sell back price, I just found this on the net. https://www.nationthailand.com/business/40015856

Thank you Thaifish, I live i Cha Am - Hua Hin area. Nice to know its only the inverter there has to be approved

Thank you all for your comments, they are really appreciated and a great help. Some of you talked about PEA which made me search on the internet. For those of you there are interested in updated rules. I found this: https://www.kunini.com/solar-rooftop-update/

To make solar cells installation legal, I have been told it is bureaucracy going beyond all borders. Some people say: Forget it, Thailand is not interested in people with normal houses there want to install solar cells on the roof. Is it true? I would think that Thailand would welcome all people there want to help fight Climate Change. How difficult is it to get permission to make legal solar cells on your roof ? Who do you contact? If you choose on grid, can you sell what you don’t use. Is it possible? If yes, will there be a contract between me and the electricity company? What do they pay per kwh? Please I’m not interested in stupid comments from a lot of people, there do not know what they are talking about. I’m looking for information only from people with experience on the matter.

It’ s in the middle of the day, I sit by my computer writing a mail, suddenly electricity is cut off for again being restarted after a few seconds. It happens ever so often, Why? How many thousands household loose their internet connection, not to mention restaurant shops etc. having problems. Is there a good reason for this? It shouldn’t be necessary to cut electricity, if you switch between one power supplier to another. Anyone know why it happens?

goes the other way too, no honey, no money

Okay, but who is actually responsible for reporting Tm 30, is it the owner or the possessor?

As I understand it TM 30 is a registration form to be used only by the owner of the property if he/ she has a foreigner staying.

That should not come as a surprice because it happens at the end of every month. just before you are going to transfer your pension thai baht rise, and your pension get a little smaller. the exchange rate will normalize again within a weeks time. Yes, you may ask; why does it happen?

According to Thai Excaminer.com Thai Baht hits 15 years low. Well, I don’t know which country they compare Thai Baht to but definitely not euro, perhaps US dollar, that had a down trend about that time but there are other currencies in the world than the US dollar, and Thai export as far as I know only represent 10 % to the US. It is not true that Thai Baht hits 15 years low over for euro. In 2010 the average exchange rate over for Euro was 42.09. Today it is 37.41 so for many other currencies a much stronger Baht than in 2010.
