EGAT, by April 2004, has been conducting the biggest Grid-Connected system of 0. 5 MW in Mae Hong Son. Newly government-initiated project, Solar Home System for 200, 000 unelectrified houses in Thailand, of 24 MW will be conducted between 2004 (150, 000 sets 120 Wp each in the first phase) and 2005 (50, 000 sets in the second phase). It is expected that the PV market after 2007 will grow at the rate of 50 MW per year. 20
PV Market Trend in Thailand Newly government-initiated project, Solar Home System for 200, 000 unelectrified houses in Thailand, of 24 MW will be conducted between 2004 (150, 000 sets 120 Wp each in the first phase) and 2005 (50, 000 sets in the second phase). Implementation of a Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) would enforce IPPs (independent power producers) as well as SPPs (small power producers) to generate electricity from renewable energy sources. Net metering with government incentives will also be implemented. It is expected that the PV market after 2007 will grow at the rate of 50 MW per year. 21
