The government of Thailand is looking to officially register certified solar installers and PV equipment ahead of plans to accelerate the rollout of rooftop systems across the country.
Thailand’s Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA) and Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) are now accepting registrations for vendors and equipment used in solar panel installations.
In order to complete registration, vendors must meet qualifications and standards set by the electricity authorities, while equipment must be certified according to international standards such as IEC and Thai Industrial Standards. The registration process will be open until September 30.
According to a press briefing published by the Thai government, the registration forms part of preparations for expanding solar rooftop installations for the general public.
