Solar power - Can a home sell back (or get a credit) to PEA now? (May 2018)

[sammydavis]

so an engineer in Thailand tells you it is illegal to run the meter backwards so obviously it must be!!!!!! don't worry about if the law is actually written or he is just telling you that

[sammydavis]

do you people really think the meter readers are so observant or give a shit

[sammydavis]

crossy would you rather be paying an electricity rate of 7 baht plus per kWh or 7 baht plus minus 7 baht per kwh solar produced

I'd be happy paying my current rate of around 4 Baht per unit less 4 Baht per unit exported (simply net metered). No nasty Feed-In Tariff contracts, stop generating when I want to (or the kit goes belly up) without having to break a contract.

It is the PEA who don't allow backfeeding the grid due to the extreme danger to their engineers if your system isn't correctly configured to shutdown if the grid goes down.

 

However they also don't look too hard for people who connect safely and who always pay them. But if your bill is ever negative they can and do install meters that can't run backwards so killing, or reducing, your benefit 

 

You should read older posts before making assumptions that are baseless.

what is this bull about nasty contracts. i mean really,  it is Thailand  but do you really think they would make a feed in contract that would force you to feed in or even have the system connected.  what planet are you on

A while back they were talking about new contracts for home owners (not a business).

 

Do any currently exist?
