Solar energy is cheap, low maintenance, silent, environmentally friendly, and contributes to energy independence. It's abundant in Thailand due to the country's high solar irradiance, contributing to energy independence and stability against fluctuating electricity prices. It allows for significant savings on electricity bills, up to 80% according to some estimates. Solar panels can be a stable source of energy, unaffected by price swings in electricity markets and foreign energy supplies.

Now is the best time to invest in a solar system because the cost of photovoltaic systems has decreased significantly while efficiency has increased. High and constantly rising electricity prices make the investment in solar power lucrative. The technology advances and proven model make the investment secure and allow for precise savings calculation.

In recent years, there has been a clear trend in the development of electricity prices. Prices for private households have grown by more than 25% in the last 10 years, from 3.9 to around 5.1 baht per kilowatt-hour. On the other hand, the cost of solar electricity is becoming cheaper as the technology improves and the production of modules in large quantities becomes less expensive. Our mission is to enable our customers to save money with an eye on the environment, instead of filling the pockets of large corporations.

Your savings potential depends on several factors: the size of the solar system and its location, the proportion of self-consumption during daytime, the development of household electricity prices, and the time period considered (e.g., over 10, 20, or 30 years). Thus, the savings potential is very individual and also depends on how electricity prices develop in the future. Generally, the owner of a 5.5kW system with favorable conditions and high daytime use can expect to enjoy over 1.7 mln baht in savings over the system lifetime. VOLT's solar experts will gladly calculate your individual savings potential.

Homeowners and business owners looking to cut electricity costs and reduce their environmental impact benefit from solar systems. Given the country's ample sunlight, solar energy is a practical and sustainable choice for clean energy production.

With Thailand's abundant solar irradiance, a solar system is a sound investment due to the savings on electricity costs it offers and the value it adds to your property. Average system breaks even in around 4-6 years while producing practically free electricity for over 30 years and saving millions of baht depending on the system size and consumption patterns.

Yes, solar systems are environmentally friendly as they generate clean and renewable energy without harmful emissions. The production of solar cells and modules requires energy and resources, but this is offset by the clean energy produced over their lifespan. Solar modules are mostly made of glass, aluminum, and silicon. These materials can be well recycled and reused.

Similar to any improvement, installing a home solar system has the potential to enhance the value of your property and attract prospective buyers. According to a study conducted in 2019 in the US, homes equipped with solar panels tend to sell for an average of 4.1% more than those without solar installations.

Once you transition to solar energy, you'll hardly notice any change in your daily routine. Your lights, appliances, televisions, and all other electrical devices will continue to function just as they did before. The main difference you'll observe after making the switch to solar is in your billing structure. You will still receive a monthly bill from your utility company. If you're enrolled in a monthly rental plan with VOLT, you'll receive two separate bills.

"Purchasing solar generally requires upfront investment which can make it cost-prohibitive for many. That’s why VOLT offers stress-free solar rent-to-own payment option, so you can switch to solar and enjoy savings right away: no down-payment or collateral required; no opening fees or additional costs, fast approval; no impact on your NCB score; partial or full payment possible anytime; transferable to another person in case of property sale.

VOLT is transforming the solar industry with a focus on exceptional quality and first-class customer service through the most advanced technology. Our mission is to democratize access to clean energy and drive its adoption in Thailand by simplifying the process and offering unique financing. Backed by international investors, we are a team of German and Thai entrepreneurs with a presence throughout Thailand, boasting a highly trained team with over 10 years of experience in the solar industry. Choosing VOLT means trusting in excellence and innovation at every step of the process.

The sizing and selection of the right system is complicated because there are many factors to consider, such as the amount of sun throughout the year, electricity costs in your area, and whether there are shadows on your roof from trees or other buildings. Proper sizing means installing just the right number of panels to save energy in the best way. Our artificial intelligence software together with experienced solar electricians analyze your energy consumption and solar incidence on your roof using satellite technology and LiDAR, a remote sensing system that uses laser to measure distances. This process accurately calculates the amount of available sunlight. Then, our system generates an optimal solar design tailored to your needs. This approach contrasts with other companies that still use static and less accurate methods.

The VOLT solution is generally applicable to most types of roofs in Thailand. However, it may not be feasible for homes with outdated electrical systems, certain roofs and tiles, or roofs that are too small or heavily shaded. Our professional solar electricians will conduct the inspection of your house before installation to make sure your roof is suitable for the system.

Homeowners should consider roof orientation towards the sun, the angle of inclination for optimal sunlight capture, local weather patterns, and potential shading from nearby structures or vegetation. Local building codes and regulations should also be taken into account.

On rainy or cloudy days, the energy production of solar panels may be reduced due to decreased sunlight. However, modern solar systems are designed to continue generating electricity even in less than ideal weather conditions. While the output may be lower during periods of low sunlight, solar panels can still produce energy from diffuse light. But you wont have to worry to loose electricity, as the electricity will come from the grid.

Your past electricity consumption data enables us to tailor a bespoke solar system that perfectly suits your home and consumption patterns. As electricity usage differs from individual to individual and can fluctuate throughout the year, we request a complete year's worth of your electricity bills. This comprehensive data allows us to design a system that precisely meets your requirements.

Shade on your solar panels diminishes their performance. During the system design phase, we consider any existing shade on your roof. However, changes in tree shape or height can increase shading and result in reduced energy production over time. To optimize the performance of your solar system, it's advisable to maintain trimmed trees to prevent them from obstructing sunlight from reaching your panels.

The solar panels installed on your roof are designed to maintain electricity production well beyond the 30-year mark, albeit with a gradual decrease in efficiency averaging 0.5% per year. Our solar systems are crafted with the longevity of our equipment in consideration, factoring in this anticipated decline in performance within our production estimates. As a result, even after 30 years, your system is projected to operate at approximately 87.4% of its original capacity, ensuring your home continues to benefit from clean, renewable energy.

Every solar system includes solar panels, inverters, smart meter, mounting structures, and electrical wiring. Solar panels are the primary components that capture sunlight and convert it into electricity using photovoltaic cells. Inverters are responsible for converting the direct current (DC) electricity produced by the solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is used to power household appliances and devices. A smart meter is a device that measures your electricity usage and tracks the electricity you generate and consume providing detailed information on your energy production and consumption. Mounting structures are the support structures that secure the solar panels to the roof, ensuring they are properly oriented to receive sunlight. Electrical wiring includes all the cables, connectors, and wiring needed to connect the solar panels, inverters, and other components together and to your home's electrical system.

We install Tier 1 half-cut monocrystalline solar panels. Modules: TIER 1, Half-Cell Monocrystalline technology, PERC 20%+ efficiency with 30 year warranty. Brands like JA Solar, Jinko Solar, TW Solar, etc.

The Tier-1 classification is a list of photovoltaic solar panel manufacturers ranked based on their solvency and financing capacity, updated quarterly.

We use Huawei Gen 3 inverters with efficiency levels exceeding 98.5%, high-frequency switching and advanced MPPT algorithms. It is a robust solution for solar systems, maximizing efficiency in converting solar energy to electricity. With advanced technology, they ensure optimal and reliable performance, contributing to efficient use of solar energy in your installation with 12 year warranty.

We utilize Huawei, the most advanced smart meters available, equipped with features such as real-time data monitoring, two-way communication with utility companies, time-of-use billing support, integration with home energy management systems, and enhanced security features.

The need for a solar battery depends on your energy requirements and preferences. Solar batteries store excess energy for use when the sun isn't available, providing benefits such as increased self-consumption, energy independence, and backup power during outages. However, batteries currently have a high cost and increase the break even period for up to 12 years. Our professional solar specialists will advise on the necessity of the battery in your particular case.

We use industry-leading lithium-ion batteries by Huawei that offer over 200 Wh/kg, efficient energy storage in a compact form factor with a round-trip efficiency of over 95%.

We provide customers with Huawei EV charger with rapid charging feature (rates of up to 11 kW) and dynamic load balancing which dynamically adjusts charging rates based on household energy usage patterns.

At VOLT we cover all the required steps for you. We will collect required documents from you from this list and apply to MEA/PEA for licenses. This process takes several weeks to finish, but you can start using clean energy from the system right after the installation.

Net metering in Thailand allows solar PV system owners to sell surplus electricity back to the grid. Currently, the feed-in tariff for this excess electricity is 2.1 baht per kilowatt-hour (only applicable to systems up to 10 kWp). This means that when your solar panels generate more electricity than you need, you can offset your grid electricity consumption and earn credits for the energy you contribute.

The approval from PEA/MEA often only takes a few weeks but can sometimes unfortunately drag on for longer. Before a solar system can be commissioned, it must be registered with the responsible grid operator. This is often a lot of bureaucratic effort. VOLT takes care of filling out and submitting the documents to the grid operator so that customers don't have to worry about anything. VOLT works closely with all grid operators to complete the grid registration as quickly and smoothly as possible in the interest of its customers.

"Once we've finalized your system design and obtained all necessary approvals, we'll proceed with installing the solar panels on your roof. Our local installation teams are skilled and efficient, often completing installations in just one day. Here's an overview of what you can expect on installation day: Step 1 - Crew Arrival and Preparation: Upon arrival, our team will introduce themselves and determine the work areas and parking locations. Step 2 - Review System Design and Equipment Location: Your designated foreman will review the system plans with you, confirming the placement of equipment. Step 3 - System Installation: Our crew will begin installing the solar panels and wiring on your roof, while the foreman oversees the installation of the inverter and other electrical components. Step 4 - Crew Clean Up: As the installation nears completion, we'll tidy up the work area to ensure your property is left in pristine condition. Step 5 - Final Walk-Through: After installation, your foreman will provide a final walk-through, explaining how your new solar system operates and how to activate it."

Since VOLT home solar systems are roof-mounted, we do drill holes in the roof to anchor the racking equipment for the panels during installation. All our roof penetrations are made watertight and are guaranteed by a 5 year workmanship warranty. One little known benefit, once the solar panels are on your roof, they can protect the underlying sections from normal weathering and increase its longevity.

Normally, the installation of the system takes a day. However, before our team arrives at your home, we undertake several steps to ensure a hassle-free installation experience for you that take about 3-4 weeks. These steps include a site survey, finalized custom design, and applying for permits.

Normally, the commissioning of the PV system takes place directly after the installation and the meter exchange. In individual cases, however, it may happen that the grid operator specifies special conditions that require additional checks. Once these checks have been successfully completed, the system can be commissioned.

Solar panels require clean up in order to maximize the electricity production. Since PV systems produce energy from contact with sunlight, the more the surface is, the higher is the output. With VOLT Care package included into the duration of a rental plan, we provide annual cleaning and maintenance for you to ensure optimal production.
