Links in my revised post, you can install it yourself, or pay someone another 100,000bht to do it for you.

Cool. Thanks. I have an "electrician," though he's been zapped so many times the hair on his head looks like an abandoned bird's nest ????

I'd appreciate info on where to see/purchase, and how to install it.

He used Tesla batteries.

Forget the showers/Aircons and cookers, leave them on grid.

Wire everything else to a hybrid 5kW + batteries.

50kbht for the 10kWhr battery, 10x 340w panels 35kbht, 5k5 hybrid inverter 15kbht.

 

So total cost around 100kbht for 80% of your household electricity.

 

Okay, thanks, a) where do I see these and b) who installs it?

i dont know the specs but my neighbour just did like a month ago

his bill was around 2000-2300 baht every month. Just to make the bill like around 100 baht he spent 150.000 baht system to the solar cell system. this month he said his bill was 0 baht

so from the same bill, i would say you will spent around 150K

Hmmm, not sure I have that many more months of life left to break even ???? 

I have a 68 year-old friend in the States who just put in a system at $45,000. Not sure how he plans on realizing any savings, but then, he's loaded.

I'd like to set up a small solar power system. Perhaps whole house, but more likely just a few items in case of extended blackouts. It depends on price.

The minimum system is to maintain the house fridge, and the fridge and chest freezer in an adjacent building, and perhaps a fan or two. Anything more is cream on top but not required. If, however, the extra cost is not a lot more I'd certainly consider it. If PEA buys back power, a larger system would be of even more interest. My power bill is between 2300 and 2900 baht/month. 

Bungalow: 45 square meters, 1 bedroom, 1 bath.

18,000 BTU A/C in living area. Rarely used.

9000 BTU A/C in bedroom cools whole bungalow, except on hottest days, by using fan to blow air into rest of the house.

Small fridge/freezer, convection oven/micro, 2-burner electric cooktop

2 tankless water heaters

Adjacent building: 8 square meters. Used as food storage and laundry.

14 CF chest freezer

small fridge/freezer

9000 BTU A/C (would be nice to keep this running)

Front load washer/front load dryer

All appliances are Inverter, if that is relevant.

Roof faces ESE, has 90% of afternoon sun.

I have looked at the "systems" at Global & Thai Watsadu. But, of course, they know less than I do.

Thanks!
