Solar Power is cheap and it’s going to get even cheaper very soon.

Nah, I will let Somchai do all the mistakes.

I hope to sit down with the vendor later this week. Target for installation is July this year.

It will be a system very similar in size to yours. What brand do you have for inverter and panels?

Don’t listen to the barstool experts when they talk about solar being too expensive, they’re wrong - they usually are.

Tier one solar panels are already at ฿6.5/Watt

 

 

 

Inverters are already as low as ฿4K per kW

 

 

Batteries are already at ฿5k per kWh with expectations to see further substantial falls this year

 

 

So just using the prices quoted above 

5kW of Solar = ฿32,000

5kW Inverter = ฿20,000

10kWh Battery = ฿50,000

Total cost = ฿102,000

or ฿52,000 without the battery 

 

Even cheaper now.
