What's the real payback for a 100 kW factory solar system in Thailand 2026?

Average 4.8-year simple payback in our 5-size table, which credits first-year savings of about THB 3.84–3.91 per kWh generated (close to the THB 3.86/kWh all-class average for Sep–Dec 2026), PVOUT 1,490 kWh/kWp/yr, no BOI, and self-consumption ≥95%. If nearly all the power solar displaces falls in TOU On-Peak (Mon–Fri 09:00–22:00, ≈ THB 4.26/kWh for Type 3–4 at 69 kV+, roughly 10% above the average), payback drops to about 4.3-4.5 years. See the worked table and use /tools/solar-calculator with your real numbers. Returns over the full 25-30 year system life also hinge on panel degradation and lifespan.

How does 1 MW ROI differ from 500 kW?

1 MW beats 500 kW by ~0.9 IRR points (21.7% vs 20.8%) for three reasons: 1) EPC per-watt drops ~10% via economies of scale (THB 23 vs 25/Wp); 2) annual O&M as % of CAPEX falls (1.0% vs 1.3%); 3) in a 3-shift 24/7 factory with baseline load >1 MW, self-consumption hits 100%. Full 1 MW pricing + BOM at /knowledge/solar-panel-price-thailand-2026 (W2 Wed).

Is solar worth it for a factory with only 2 shifts (no night shift)?

Very much so — a 2-shift 08:00-22:00 factory has a load curve that actually aligns better with solar than 3-shift, because peak load tends to sit at 11:00-15:00, matching solar's peak output. Rule of thumb: size solar ≤ 1.2× daytime peak load to keep self-consumption 95%+ and avoid exports that sell at ~40% below tariff. See 100-500 kW worked examples in our 5-size table and the shift-based modeling section.

Can a factory still get BOI for self-use solar?

No, for applications filed from 1 July 2025 — BOI Announcement 3/2568 stopped promotion for installing solar power systems under the alternative-energy efficiency measure (formerly, under 15/2565: machinery import-duty exemption + a 3-year CIT exemption capped at 50% of investment). "Section 30/31" are not solar incentives — Section 30 of the Investment Promotion Act is a reduction of import duty on raw materials. Applications filed earlier follow the rules in force when filed. The ROI table on this page already excludes BOI. Details at /knowledge/boi-solar-incentives-2026.

How does PPA ROI differ from EPC — which should I pick?

EPC = you invest CAPEX, earn roughly 25.9-28.3% pre-tax IRR over 25 years (5-size table, no BOI), own the asset. PPA = zero CAPEX, buy power from CapSolar at THB 3.30-3.50/kWh (10-15% below tariff), no ownership but zero maintenance risk. CFOs pick EPC when they have low WACC + cash reserves + want to maximize long-term ROI. CFOs pick PPA for zero-CAPEX + conservative balance sheet + or leased rooftop. Full 12-dimension comparison at /knowledge/ppa-vs-epc.

What's the LCOE of solar in Thailand 2026 vs grid tariff?

Factory solar LCOE: THB 1.53-1.69/kWh for 100kW-5MW (no BOI; 8% discount over 25 years, O&M included). Grid: THB 3.86/kWh all-class average for Sep–Dec 2026, and ≈ THB 4.26/kWh factory TOU On-Peak. Solar is roughly 2.4× cheaper — meaning solar pays back at any factory with >50% daytime load. Even if tariffs fell 30% (ERC revision), solar LCOE would still sit below the grid rate. Full math in the 5-size table. To find your own daytime-load share, start with a factory energy audit. If you're adding storage, check the BESS price 2026 (฿/kWh) & when it pays back.

When is solar NOT worth it for a factory?

Solar is usually "not yet" worth it when a factory runs mostly on night shifts (low self-consumption because solar generates by day), has a leased roof with under 5 years remaining, has a structurally weak roof needing heavy reinforcement, has a very low monthly bill, plans an imminent relocation or closure, or would export more than ~40% of energy to the grid at a low feed-in rate. If these apply, fix the condition first — or consider a zero-CAPEX PPA instead of self-investing. See the full decision checklist.

Is solar worth it for a single-shift factory?

Usually yes, but it pays back more slowly than a 7-day plant, because solar generates every day including weekends. A Mon–Fri single shift with no weekend load averages about THB 3.05 saved per kWh generated over the week (weekday output displaces On-Peak at ≈ THB 4.26), so payback is about 5.1–6.1 years versus 4.0–4.8 for a 7-day plant; running Mon–Sat lands around 4.5–5.4 years. To improve it: size to the weekday daytime load, shift movable work into daylight hours, or use a PPA. See the decision table and how to size a factory solar system.

How Factory Solar ROI Differs from Residential

Thailand factory solar ROI in 2026 averages 4.0-4.8-year payback — much faster than residential (6-8 years) because factories consume ~100% of generation during daylight (high self-consumption), don't depend on net metering, and benefit from economies of scale (EPC per-watt drops 15-20% at 1 MW+) — with no BOI in the numbers, since self-use solar promotion stopped for applications from 1 Jul 2025 (BOI Announcement 3/2568). Key variables that swing ROI: shift profile (load curve), existing roof structural cost, tariff escalation rate.

3 ROI Mistakes Factory CFOs Routinely Make

1) Computing "electricity cost saved" from flat average tariff — ignoring that daytime-running factories pay peak-hour rates ~40% higher than off-peak. Solar displaces peak directly, so ROI is 15-20% higher than a flat-rate model suggests. 2) Forgetting tariff escalation — ERC has raised tariffs 3-4% annually for the past decade, but CFOs often lock in the investment-year rate, under-estimating 25-year NPV by ~25%. 3) Still counting on BOI — since 1 Jul 2025, solar a factory installs for its own use gets no BOI promotion (Announcement 3/2568), so a case that only works with BOI should not start. This guide corrects all three with real numbers.

The 7 Variables of Factory Solar ROI

Accurate solar ROI requires plugging all 7 variables below into a 25-year cash-flow model (not a single-year simple payback). The seven are: CapEx, OpEx, tariff structure, tariff escalation, discount rate, degradation, O&M & insurance.

1. CAPEX (Upfront Investment)

THB 22-26/Wp installed (2026) for 100kW-500kW, THB 21.5-23/Wp for 1MW+. Covers panels, inverter, BOS, labor, commissioning. Excludes new roof structural work. No BOI reduction for self-use solar applied for from 1 Jul 2025 (see /knowledge/boi-solar-incentives-2026).

2. Tariff Savings (revenue)

Tariff savings = solar kWh you self-consume × the rate your plant actually pays per unit (ex-VAT). Reference figures for Sep–Dec 2026: the ERC all-class collected average is THB 3.86/kWh (a system-wide average, not a factory TOU rate) · a Type 3–4 TOU factory at 69 kV+: On-Peak 4.1025 + Ft 0.1623 ≈ THB 4.26/kWh (Mon–Fri 09:00–22:00) and Off-Peak ≈ THB 2.75/kWh (nights, weekends, holidays). Warning: don't plug in the average instead of your real rate — weekday solar displaces On-Peak power, weekend solar only Off-Peak.

3. Tariff Escalation Rate

ERC 10-year historical: ~3.2%/yr. Use 3% in base case, 4% aggressive, 2% conservative — the spread shifts NPV by ~35%.

4. Degradation Rate

Tier-1 mono panel: year-1 drop 2.5%, then 0.5%/yr. 25-year warranty: >83% of original rated power. Model must use this curve, not flat.

5. O&M + Insurance

THB 150-200k/MW/year — covers 4x cleaning, inspections, remote monitoring, all-risk insurance. About 1-1.5% of CAPEX annually; an OpEx line many CFOs forget.

6. Discount Rate (WACC)

Use factory's WACC (typically 7-10% for Thai SME, 5-8% for large corporates). Lower WACC → higher NPV → more attractive investment.

7. BOI (current status)

Set it to 0 for a new project: BOI Announcement 3/2568 stopped promotion for self-use solar for applications from 1 Jul 2025 (formerly, under 15/2565: 3-year CIT exemption on existing-business income capped at 50% of investment + machinery import duty). See /knowledge/boi-solar-incentives-2026.

5 Real Factory Sizes — Worked Payback / IRR / NPV

We model 5 sizes common in Thai industry — 100 kW (SME), 500 kW (mid-market), 1 MW (mainstream), 2 MW (major), 5 MW (utility-scale). Tariffs for Sep–Dec 2026, PVOUT 1,490, no BOI (self-use solar promotion stopped for applications from 1 Jul 2025). IRR / NPV / LCOE are computed pre-tax from the 7 variables above: tariff +3%/yr, degradation 0.5%/yr, O&M THB 175,000/MW/yr, WACC 8%, 25 years. Paybacks are the table’s conservative values. This table is the golden benchmark.

Size	CAPEX	Year-1 savings	Payback	25-yr IRR (pre-tax)	25-yr NPV (@ 8%)	LCOE
100 kW	฿2.40M	฿580K	4.8 yr	25.9%	฿5.10M	1.69THB/kWh
500 kW	฿11.50M	฿2.90M	4.5 yr	26.9%	฿26.00M	1.63THB/kWh
1 MW	฿23.00M	฿5.82M	4.3 yr	27.0%	฿52.20M	1.63THB/kWh
2 MW	฿44.00M	฿11.45M	4.1 yr	27.7%	฿103.90M	1.56THB/kWh

Shift-Based ROI Adjustments — 24/7 vs 3-shift vs 2-shift (What Competitors Miss)

Competitors like GreenYellow and Thai Solar Energy model ROI assuming a factory absorbs 100% of solar generation — which isn't true. A factory's load curve dictates its self-consumption rate, and self-consumption rate drives real ROI. Three profiles we see in the field:

24/7

A) Continuous 24/7 (cold-storage, semiconductor, data center, petrochemical)

Baseline load 4-10 MW around the clock · 1-5 MW solar is absorbed at 100% instantly · self-consumption = 100% · zero curtailment, no net-metering dependency · highest IRR (22-23%). ROI is 15-20% above what competitors quote because there's no grid-export discount to model.

3-shift

B) 3-shift 24h weekdays (electronics, auto-parts 3-shift, large textile)

3-shift Mon-Fri, weekend load drops 30-50% · Sunday afternoon solar can exceed peak load → ~3-5% export · self-consumption 95-97%. ROI remains high but the model must correctly discount exports (PEA buys excess at ~THB 2.2/kWh, below tariff).

2-shift

C) 2-shift 08:00-22:00 (food-processing, SME, fab shop)

Daytime load aligns well with solar profile, but tail hours 16:00-18:00 see solar drop ≤60%. Peak-hour load (11:00-15:00) at high TOU rates is fully displaced — maximum benefit. ROI optimal at 100-500 kW where solar doesn't exceed daytime baseline. Rule of thumb: size solar ≤1.2× of daytime peak load to keep self-consumption >95%.

Takeaway: size solar to shift profile, not maximum roof area. Self-consumption rate 95%+ is the ROI sweet spot. If roof exceeds load capacity, consider partial PPA export or reserve area for a phase-2 expansion.

3 Financing Options — Cash / Loan / PPA

ROI shifts with financing structure. CFOs should benchmark 3 models:

Option	Rate / Cost	Payback	IRR	Best for
Cash	0% (own cost of capital)	4.0-4.8 yr	21-23% 25-yr	Best for: companies with cash reserves + low WACC + wanting asset ownership
Green Loan (Krungsri/EXIM/KBank)	5.5-7% APR · 7-10-yr term	net-positive cash flow year 1-2	16-19% 25-yr (equity)	Best for: SME / mid-market with credit wanting to preserve cash for expansion
PPA (power purchase)	0 CAPEX · THB 3.30-3.50/kWh × 15-20 yr	immediate savings	N/A (non-owner) · 10-15% below tariff	Best for: zero-CAPEX preference, cash-conservative, or leased rooftop

Full comparators: PPA vs EPC compared (2-way), /knowledge/solar-epc-vs-rental-thailand (3-way + TFRS 16), /knowledge/solar-financing-thailand-factory (4-way Cash/Loan/Lease/PPA with Thai bank rates + 25-yr NPV). If your roof is too small, you can still procure clean power off-site via renewable energy wheeling (TPA) in Thailand.

BOI and Factory Solar — Self-Use Promotion Stopped from 1 July 2025

Factories installing solar for their own use could apply for BOI under Announcement 15/2565 §1.4 (machinery import-duty exemption + a 3-year CIT exemption on the existing business's income, capped at 50% of the investment). BOI Announcement 3/2568 stopped promotion for installing solar power systems under that measure for applications filed from 1 July 2025. The 5-size table on this page therefore includes no BOI — and its paybacks never used an "after-BOI CAPEX". The "Section 30/31 8-year tax holiday + 7% VAT" figures this page used to show have no basis in BOI announcements; 8 years is the Group A2 benefit for businesses selling renewable power (activity 7.1.2). Timeline and details at /knowledge/boi-solar-incentives-2026. If you choose a PPA, review the PPA clauses that affect your ROI, such as the escalator and buyout terms.

4 Risks to Model Explicitly

1) Grid interconnection with PEA/MEA: >1 MW requires transformer capacity review (6-9 month buffer). 2) PEA quota: some provinces have quotas (parts of EEC) — wait-list risk. 3) Tariff cap risk: ERC may revise feed-in tariff (policy under review). 4) Roof asset risk: roofs with <10-year remaining life may need replacement, adding 10-15% to CAPEX. Include sensitivity analysis for all 4 in base/upside/downside cases.

How to Calculate Your Factory Solar ROI — 5 Steps

Use these steps in-house with your finance team, alongside /tools/solar-calculator.

1
1) Pull 12-month electricity bills
Request 12 months of PEA/MEA bills. Record monthly kWh, TOU peak/off-peak rates, demand charge, Ft — establishing baseline.
2
2) Measure daytime load
Install a smart meter or request interval data from PEA. Review the 09:00-17:00 load curve. Size solar ≤ daytime peak × 1.2.
3
3) Get 3 EPC quotes
Request quotes from EPCs with 100+ installations + a trilingual team. Compare THB/Wp, warranty, timeline. Recommended shortlist at /knowledge/thai-factory-solar-vendors. Use our 20-point procurement checklist to verify every critical point.
4
4) Build 25-year cash flow model
Excel or use /tools/solar-calculator. Plug in the 7 variables (CAPEX, savings, escalation, degradation, O&M, discount, tax — BOI = 0 for a new project). Compute payback, IRR, NPV.
5
5) Run sensitivity analysis
Create base/upside/downside cases — flex tariff escalation ±1%, CAPEX ±10%, degradation ±0.5%/yr. Obtain an IRR/payback range. CFO should see the range before signing.

Is Factory Solar Worth It? — A Decision Checklist

Before crunching detailed numbers, match your factory against the two columns below. If you mostly fall on the "worth it" side, payback is typically in the 4-6 year range and it's worth running a real ROI. If several "not yet" conditions apply, fix those first — or consider a PPA instead of self-investment.

Worth it — when your factory meets these

: Daytime-dominant load (daytime / 2-3 shifts) that aligns with solar generation
: Monthly electricity bill of roughly 50,000 THB or more
: Usable roof area of roughly 500 m² or more
: Self-consumption of ~70% or higher (you use most generation on-site, little export)
: Plan to occupy the building / site for at least 8 years
: TOU on-peak hours overlap with the midday solar generation window

Not yet — when these conditions still apply

: Mostly night-shift load — solar generates by day, so self-consumption is low
: Leased roof with less than 5 years remaining on the lease
: Structurally weak roof needing heavy reinforcement before installation
: Very low monthly bill (savings won't justify install cost)
: Imminent relocation or site closure planned
: More than ~40% of energy exported to the grid at a low feed-in rate

Mostly on the "worth it" side? Calculate your real payback / IRR / NPV below.

Decision table: 5 conditions that make it worth it — or not — with approximate payback

The base is the 5-size table above (4.0–4.8-year payback, no BOI, ≥95% self-consumption), then adjusted one condition at a time. Every figure is computed from Sep–Dec 2026 tariff rates, ex-VAT — screening maths, not a quote.

Condition	Worth it → payback about	Not yet / caution → payback about
1. Operating days & shifts (TOU)	Runs 7 days (24/7 or 3 shifts): every kWh used, week-average ≈ THB 3.83/kWh → 4.0–4.8 yr · Runs Mon–Sat: Sunday output wasted, ≈ THB 3.44/kWh → 4.5–5.4 yr	Single shift Mon–Fri: weekend output wasted, ≈ THB 3.05/kWh → 5.1–6.1 yr · Mostly night-shift load (≤40% of output used) → 10.1–12.1 yr = not worth it
2. System size vs daytime load	Sized at or below daytime load → ≥95% self-consumed → 4.0–4.8 yr	Filled the roof beyond the load, only ~70% self-consumed (surplus has no buyer) → 5.4–6.5 yr
3. Roof remaining life & strength	Roof has enough life left, no reinforcement needed → 4.0–4.8 yr	Roof must be replaced/reinforced first (CAPEX +10–15%) → 4.4–5.5 yr · Leased roof with <5 years left → self-investment won't pay back in time
4. Contract model (EPC / PPA)	EPC (self-funded): cash or credit available and staying on site ≥8 years → 4.0–4.8 yr, then you own the system	No appetite for CAPEX, or a leased roof: use a PPA instead — no payback period; at an illustrative THB 3.30–3.50/kWh it is ~9–15% below the 3.86 average from month one
5. BOI (self-use solar)	Filed by 30 Jun 2025 and certified: 3-yr CIT exemption on existing-business income, ≤50% of investment — the gain depends on that business’s profit	Filed from 1 Jul 2025: no BOI (Announcement 3/2568) — the base table already excludes it, so no adjustment

Method: payback scales inversely with THB saved per kWh generated · TOU On-Peak = Mon–Fri 09:00–22:00; Saturdays, Sundays and holidays are Off-Peak all day (the small share of weekday output before 09:00 is counted as On-Peak, which flatters the figures slightly) · rates used are Type 3–4 TOU at 69 kV+: On-Peak 4.1025 + Ft 0.1623 ≈ 4.26 and Off-Peak ≈ 2.75 THB/kWh ex-VAT (lower-voltage rates are higher, so paybacks there are shorter than shown) · surplus power valued at 0 (no export contract) · the 5-size table credits about THB 3.84–3.91 saved per kWh generated
