Why they are not more SWH in Thailand if the opportunities are so brilliant?
Good question!
The main reasons may be: Lack of skilled personal and no political support like in India or China.
In april 2007 I went to Bangkok to a seminar about Solar power - here a table from a speaker of the "International Institut for Energy Conservation of Asia":



SWH in Thailand is very expensive! Be aware that the thai SWH are mostly imported from China. Why are SWH from Thailand so expensive?
First, there is almost no political support for renewable energies here and there are absolut no informations on TV! Therefor the demand is very low, not like in India or China where SWH is common everywhere to avoid carbon based energy.
Second: It is still a closed market, just a few companies are sharing it.
And why are there almost no SWH on Koh Samui or on the neighbor islands?
Because the thai companies are located in Bangkok or in North-Thailand. Would you buy an aircondition if the next qualified engineer or technician is 1.000 km away?

But how can we do better?

  • We have two strong partners with high quality products:
    Sunlabob, a german led company in Vientiane, Laos. They are very experienced with all kind of renewable energies. Look at their website!
    Solar Solutions, a german led company in Khon Kaen, Thailand. Actually, they are installing many projets in Pattaya for residential and hotel use. They are promoting Photovoltaik in Thailand as well.
    Both of these partners have excellent connections to the leading german and chinese manufactures of solar power devices!
  • We assure a return of investment (ROI) after 5-8 years.
    This means, we are supposed to do a reliable engineering, we must determine the appropriate SWH size for your hot water demand and we have to install it with the least of energy losses!
  • We are not in Bangkok, we are located on Koh Samui - we are a close located service partner!
  • We give 5 years of warranty!

    • Here an example sheet for the Return of investement:

    - Solar Water Heater / Thermosyphon for 3 peoples = investment about 15.000 Bahts
    - Private house with 3 peoples, shower time 10 minutes a day
    Return of investment after 6 years!
