It certainly is a compelling argument. I guess modern or recently developed panels incorporate new and advanced technologies.

Hypothetically, if cost is not a major issue, and my calculated usage is x kW, with double the required roof space available for panels (excluding the house roof), can you see any reasons not to utilize all available roof space for panel installation? This setup would exceed the calculated kW by about 100% and store the excess solar power in a bank of batteries. I also want to mention that my dwelling is far less sophisticated than your "economy house". Therefore, I might be able to adopt a simpler approach but without cutting corners.

I will consider the voltage requirements for inverters in my future endeavors.

Many thanks for this very useful information. I had no idea that the panels are sensitive to heat - thanks again.

Sounds simple enough. I believe the PEA smart app allows you to access relevant historical data.

Apart from cost, is there a technical downside for buying/using an oversized inverter? (e.g. 5kW of PV and a 8kW inverter).

Thanks. Based on the information you provided, I searched for "Tuya Zigbee energy monitor" on Lazada. The vast number of options across 52 pages was quite overwhelming. Eventually, I found a product similar to your suggestion: https://www.lazada.co.th/products/tuya-wi-fi-ct-i4787171495.html. Am I on the right track? Additionally, to determine the quantity and size of solar panels, why would collecting PEA power bills for 12 months differ from using an energy monitor?

Thank you.

Experts recommend using an energy monitoring system for about 12 months to determine accurate power consumption patterns, which helps in deciding the quantity and size of solar panels needed. What are the recommended brands and price ranges and where to obtain such a monitor?

My comment wasn't intended to be insulting; instead, it was meant to convey a sense of ignorance and perhaps a touch of arrogance.

There won't be any ramifications whatsoever. You've got to get down from your imaginary high horse and face reality. Refusing to pay taxes will ultimately lead to your loss. Dare I say, your home country isn't much different - inequalities exist more or less everywhere.

There you go - a little pertinent info can do wonders 🙂

This is not and never was the issue.

Did you even read the post you are responding to?

There is a distinctive difference between a an Immigrant visa and a Non-Immigrant visa.

Considering the time you spend here, you seem to be on the losing side.

Probably sufficient extra cash similar to the LTR; Money talks...

This is truly concerning! How did you deal with this? Did you file a report to the police?
