Thailand aims to reduce its reliance on natural gas by reforming rooftop solar policies to boost solar capacity. Current barriers like high costs, low buyback rates, and restrictive quotas impede rooftop solar growth despite abundant solar irradiance and government targets for 60% renewables by 2050.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You can exploit regulatory shifts in Thailand as rooftop solar moves from net billing to net metering, improving payback times. If you supply solar tech or services, the loosening of quotas and better incentives will open new opportunities fast.
