Solar PV Standards and Testing Laboratory PV Standards: A safety and quality standards for PV modules and BOS are being finalized by TISO, Ministry of Industry, but the enforcement will be on the voluntary basis not the compulsory one. An energy performance standards for PV module and system has been planned to be developed by Ministry of Energy Solar PV Testing Laboratory King Mongkut s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) Electrical & Electronics Product Testing Center (PTEC) Narasuan, School of Renewable Energy 14
Future of Thailand s Solar Energy Short term PV Rooftop Local Content (?) Community use Medium term R&D Long term PV recycle Building code Feed-in Tariff (FIT)-European style (reduce windfall profit and limit passing through mechanism to the end-consumers) is proved in principle by the committee of RE mechanism management Community use and Solar-Rooftop will be more focus and become its own category 15
