Cheap Solar Hot Water In Bkk?

[gregb]

I'm looking for inexpensive panels that I can use for a solar hot water system in Bangkok. I don't mean the most fantastic German technology that can never pay for itself in the history of recorded civilization. I'm looking for the cheap Chinese panels.

There seem to be alot of these in Chiang Mai. There are several references on the web to Pik-Ass. (http://www.wi-ko.eu) They list the panels on their website for 4300 Baht per sq. meter (plus VAT). I need a standard 2 sq. meter panel. Unfortunately, I am located in Bangkok, and my enquiries to them about delivery or a distributor in the Bangkok area have gone unanswered.

Can anyone recommend a supplier in Bangkok who can provide simple thermosiphon panels in this price range?

Any leads please let me know. I would love to use solar as a preheater to my electric hot water tank.

Thanks.
