Bought a light fixture from thaiwasadu a few days ago. Took a photo and went back in today to buy another one. Showed the photo, got an instant “don’t have” response. Kept my composure and explained the situation. He calls another guy, took me to location with about dozen of the light fittings. 
My approach is to ask to be taken to general vicinity and I look for myself.

You couldn't locate the lighting area in a hardware store?

It's literally lit up.

Oh didn't they? It's estimated that over 6 million Irish have emigrated to the US and no less than 23 US presidents have Irish ancestry.

The area has seen unrest, with bricks, petrol bombs, and fireworks being thrown at officers, while protesters cheered each time they hit their mark.

The Irish have had enough practice over the years. 

Shoot the violent Irish terrorists as soon as they lift their petrol bombs.

For 20 units/day Inc 15 units battery

 

Pro install 300kbht.

Thanks. Around an 8 year ROI.

And out of interest.

A ballpark figure for 10kwh per day (daytime use only), no batteries, and it automatically switches to the PEA grid (SUB system) when the sun goes down or it isn't producing enough juice?

Thank you very much for the great information.

SBU uses solar first to meet the load of the house then tops with some power from the battery, then finally adds from the grid.

If going to the expense of having batteries, this would probably be the better situation for me. 

So, it would be an SBU system producing around 20 units/kWh per day.

Can any posters give an estimated cost of such a system? Thanks.

Another option is an energy monitoring system that tells you when you are using most power. Here is a video I made about my system:

Thank you very much for your informative post.

i have a 9 x 570w deye 5kwh system with a 240ah battery which charges to about 9.5kwh,

pv system supplies house power all day from 7.15am also charges the battery, with extra electric to run a/c from midday until 3.30/4pm,

at tyhe moment the battery lasts (with a/c from 8pm til 4am,) until the early hours, when we use about 4units from grid until solar starts producing again at about 7.15am,

so a total of 22 units used per day and out of that paying for about 4 units to pea

cost of install 160.000thb

22 units per day would be around our max usuage. 

The install price of 160,000THB included all components (panels, batteries and all other materials, setup and installation? 

When or if the batteries run out of juice, for example at 4am with air conditioners runnings, it just automatically switches over to the PEA government electricity? 

Does it automatically switch back to solar once the sun is hitting the panels again?

The most expensive bill here was for 772 units of power for one month, which was 5800THB. That was an extreme month in terms of heat, and also usage as family were staying here which bumbed up the air conditioners usage during the daytime. 

It's usually much less than that. But going with 770 units of power as the max ever needed.

24 units per day. How many Kwh is that? 

Some used in the daytime, most used in the evening and night.

What sort of solar power rig would be required to produce 770 units of power per month, 24 units per day, and what would the approximate cost be?

TIA.

Consider bananas. That is what I have used in a similar situation. It was cheap and easy and the results of this planting have been very satisfying. I was gifted with dwarf nam wah banana offshoots from a friend's organic farm. (kluai nam wa (กล้วยน้ำว้า).  

 

Any woody tree selection will take longer to grow and acheive the height to gather afternoon sunlight for photosynthesis. And trees in containers is a 'short term' plan, they cannot grow to maturity in a healthy way, in such a limited soil volume. Bananas in an improved soil (compost and COF/complete organic fertilizer), in the ground preferably, will grow fast and start to produce bananas in a year. 

Thanks, I will consider bananas. 

Are there any other fruit trees that should be successful in such an environment?
