Supalai, a leading developer in Thailand, has set ambitious targets to install 15,000 solar rooftops across its projects nationwide by 2028. Partnering with Huawei, Supalai aims to incorporate digital technology into these installations, capitalizing on the decreasing cost of solar rooftop installation.
In the past decade, solar rooftops were not a popular choice among homebuyers due to the perceived high cost and lack of practicality. However, as the cost has decreased by 10% annually, reaching 150,000 baht for three kilowatts of power, the tables have turned.
Solar rooftops are now seen as essential rather than optional, especially with rising energy costs and the increasingly attractive price of installation. Homeowners have embraced solar energy, recognizing its potential to save money and reduce their environmental footprint. With a break-even point of just five years, solar rooftops have become a popular investment among homeowners.
Supalai has already made significant progress, installing solar rooftops on approximately 2,000 units across its 20 projects in major provinces since mid-2023. The decision to focus on single detached houses was strategic, as these houses have the advantage of a larger roof area and typically higher energy consumption.
There is a growing demand among homebuyers, particularly younger generations, for energy-saving solutions. The majority of homebuyers in the coming years will be Generation Z and Y, who prioritize green energy and sustainability. These environmentally conscious individuals will represent over 90% of homebuyers.
Thailand’s progress in solar rooftop installations has surpassed the global rate, with a 145% increase driven by decreasing costs and advancing technology. Logan Yu, president of digital power business at Huawei Technologies (Thailand), highlights that green homes and solar rooftops have become a global consensus. The number of households worldwide installing solar rooftops increased by 130% to 19.8 million in 2023, up from 8.6 million in 2022.
Huawei’s FusionSolar, a fully digitalized smart PV solution, offers advanced string inverters with smart management technology. Compared to its competitors, FusionSolar boasts a 30% higher energy yield and 10% more energy storage capacity. With monthly electricity savings ranging from 2,200 to 2,900 baht with a 3-kilowatt installation and up to 2,400 to 3,200 baht for a 5-kilowatt installation, homeowners can experience significant long-term savings while enjoying reliable renewable energy.
The future of sustainable energy lies in solar rooftop installations, and Supalai, in partnership with Huawei, is taking the lead in bringing this technology to homes across Thailand. As the popularity of solar rooftops continues to rise, we can expect a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective future for homeowners.
