Thailand's government is launching a rooftop solar subsidy programme with 50,000-baht grants per household, targeting those with monthly electricity bills of 3,000+ baht. A typical 5kW installation costs 150,000 baht; with the subsidy, households could recover investment in 3-4 years. The government plans to allocate 50-60 billion baht from emergency borrowing and begin rollout in September. The programme aims to reduce energy imports, cut trade deficits, and create installer jobs through MEA/PEA-approved contractors.
