i think you can make that on your own with some pvc contact with the sun,,but if wanted hot water at night would have to do some solar, i am about fed up with this solar power,, so expensive, i am going to maybe go another route, which i am connected to the grid but it is single phase out in the boonys and no juice,,i may have to pay the city about 400 thousand baht for 3 phase my wife told me yesterday, she want me to go look at another farang house who just did it, she says he has number 1 now,,i hate giveing the city that much money,, i know it doesnt cost that much,, but in the long run,, buying 12 kw of solar,, i have 3 quotes already,, normal in thailand is about 55 - 60 thousand american,, right at or about 2 million baht, i already paiid them 160,000 baht to run 17 poles 10 meters each frorm the road to my place and the 2 cables, but i believe 3 phase hook up is way up the road a good km,,i don't know ,, i am no electrician or no smarts about it,,just i want power and plenty of it for my ac's units,,, when i was in Korat last and there is a DO HOME there,, big store all about everything,, i saw a contraption out front for sell,, it was some thermal water heater, looked like pvc rolling up and down and the sun did the work,, but never asked about it, look a few up from your comment and man talks about him seeing one run on top of roof of kitchen,,, cheers

Does anyone know where I can buy a solar hot water heater in Phuket.

I am interested in alternative energy as we do not have access to the grid.

Currently use diesel generator at night and charge a truck battery with a battery charger while the generator is running.

I then use a 500 watt inverter to provide power during the day. I can watch a dvd charge phones or computer even run a fan for a while.

Does anybody know about building a bigger system that can be recharged using natural energy.

We use gas for cooking and have no hot water so energy requirements are pretty low.

i will check into the 3 phase for installing, the house is almost finished and it design is not to take advanged of no ac,,,my plan was to move in first and see how my power is,,then go to generator 10 KW for awhile for some extra power durning day,,i have enough power now for 1 ac i believe,,thanks for reply

I suppose its all relative and you obviously have the money or you wouldn't be asking. Can we assume you have considered all options. I mean you could build a Cool House that didn't need Aircon for that sort of money or maybe two. Have you checked with the Electric company , they maybe willing to put you a three phase system in for a fraction of that price or even upgrade the whole Area.

Anyway, good luck with the project.

i am looking for some help on locating the most reasonalble and quality for the money solar power company to purchase and install at my home, i am not looking to save the world but run some a/c's, i just don't have enough electricity where i live,,any help would be great, i have gotten some quotes back and what i am looking at is about 50 to 60 thousand american for 10-12 KW, a good bit of money, i see where the panels are what is high and need many, i live in Nondindeang about 200 km east of Korat,thanks before hand,,

thailovelinks.com is the best i believe, i met alot of students, girls with jobs and all kinds, you need to be careful and email or chat for a while because there are the bar girls too, just remember it is all about security for them, and all about the baht,i played the field for 5 years Pattaya, Phuket, BKK with the bar girls, students, girls with normal jobs before i finallly settled down and will marry soon, but didn't meet her online, friend of a friend who is married to a thai , her daddy installed his windows in his new house and well,, emails exchange, and the rest is history,, take care and good luck

Well, good luck to you because considering the trollish nature of your OP you are going to need it.

Agree with you SBK, if someone really needs to come onto this forum enquiring about potential internet dating, there's something seriously wrong with them.

As an aside, I did actually meet my lady on-line. She's a graduate, articulate, probably the most honest woman I've ever met in my life (jing), and we'd communicated for around 4 months before we actually met. Now, we've been together nearly 2 years, and are probably getting married in the next couple of weeks or so. I'm sure that we're not unique, just depends on the level of dialogue/communication you have, and bottom line of how honest you are with each other.

Huh? Firstly you say there must be something wrong with someone asking for websites and then you say you met your future wife online. Is there something seriosuly wrong with you, then? Why not just give me the web address instead of trying to prove some kind of superiority over an unknown poster on an internet message board.
