Thanakorn supports the household solar rooftop program, noting it as a key policy of Anutin to reduce expenses and increase income for the public. He explained that in the long term, it will bring enormous benefits to the people, emphasizing that the Bhumjaithai Party fulfills its promises.
On 13 Sep 2026 GMT+7, Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana, party-list MP for the Bhumjaithai Party and former Minister of Industry, spoke about the household solar rooftop installation project. He said this project is part of the government's policy under Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul to reduce expenses and increase income for citizens, aiming to alleviate hardships amid today's volatile economy. It also lays the foundation for the country's future clean energy. The government plans to subsidize 50,000 baht per household for 1 million households, with an estimated budget of 75 billion baht.
Thanakorn added that the government aims to help citizens reduce expenses and increase income through clean electricity production, providing supplementary earnings and easing household electricity costs. The government subsidy is 50,000 baht. Each household system is 5 kW (producing an average of 25 units per day), generating about 750 units monthly (calculated over 30 days). Income from selling electricity is about 1,650 baht per month (at 2.20 baht per unit). The panels have a lifespan of 25-30 years, and the inverter lasts 10-15 years. Eligibility requirements include: 1. Being a farmer customer of BAAC under project criteria; 2. Being a residential electricity user; 3. Having a meter and participating in the electricity purchase system; and 4. Having appropriate, standard-compliant installation space.
The Prime Minister has clearly instructed that agencies involved must expedite the household solar rooftop installation project carefully, as it will bring enormous long-term benefits to the people nationwide. This demonstrates the Bhumjaithai Party's commitment made during the election campaign—that the party delivers on its promises and acts for the people. . . .
