Solar Panel Installation in Pattani

Yes. We provide surveys, installation and after-sales care in Pattani Province. Site surveys are by appointment, and any travel charge is confirmed before booking.

You can check your generation yourself in the inverter's app, so you can report a problem as soon as the figures look wrong, and we can make a first diagnosis remotely. When a site visit is needed, we book it by appointment in Pattani, covering Mueang Pattani, Khok Pho and Nong Chik and the other districts in the province, and always confirm the date in advance.

We don't add a surcharge by province. Any travel charge is confirmed before booking. What really changes the price is the site conditions, not the location. In Pattani, the conditions that move the price most are the differences between districts. Fishing and aquaculture are the main work here, both cold storage and ice plants around the fishing port and shrimp ponds around Pattani Bay. They run continuously and use almost all of their daytime power, but ponds that need aeration at night must have backup power designed in. Our quote therefore comes from a real site survey, which costs THB 1,200–1,500 and is refunded in full against your quote when you go ahead with the installation.

Yes. The province is on the Gulf of Thailand side. The heaviest rain falls from November to December with the northeast monsoon. It is the lowest-output period of the year, and also when low-lying land along the Pattani and Sai Buri rivers is at risk of the rivers overflowing. We calculate using a Southern Thailand solar yield of 1,350 kWh per kWp per year, which already includes the rainy season and is lower than for other regions of the country. The payback figures we give are based on real conditions in the South.

All 12 districts of Pattani Province. Send us your district name on LINE and we will arrange a survey date and confirm any travel charge before the visit.

Pattani is served by the Provincial Electricity Authority Area 3 (Yala), which covers Yala, Pattani, Narathiwat, Songkhla, Satun and Phatthalung. A system connected to the PEA grid needs a grid-connection application and an inspection before it is switched on. We prepare the drawings and documents and file everything for you. A system that is not connected to the grid, such as a solar water pump wired straight to the panels in an orchard, does not need a grid-connection application.

Panels go on steel frames on the ground or on the pond embankments, which are soft mud that weakens when wet. The frame foundations are therefore designed for the actual soil at each pond, and the frames and bolts must be made of materials that withstand brackish water. Inverters and distribution boards should sit in a covered, well-ventilated shed. Ponds that need aeration at night must have batteries or backup power sized to the actual number of aerators, or be designed to switch to grid power as soon as the sun goes down.

The businesses around the port run their compressors almost without a break, so nearly all the power the panels generate in the daytime is used on site. The right system size therefore depends on each site's roof area and actual electricity bills. The port and the salt pans along Pattani Bay take the sea wind directly, and salt air builds up on fixings and connections faster than at inland sites, so the equipment is corrosion-resistant from the design stage.

The difference is where the equipment goes. Distribution boards, inverters and batteries should be mounted above the level that house has flooded to, such as upstairs or on the roof. There should also be a breaker that can isolate the system from upstairs, so it can be shut down as soon as the water starts to rise.

By the height the water has to be lifted, not just the volume needed. Orchards in the Budo foothills are often on sloping ground and far from the power lines. Pumping water up to plots higher than the source needs a pump that can lift it that far, and the panels must be placed where they clear the morning shadow of the hills, because orchards behind the ridge get sun later than flat land.

These two districts have sea to the north and the east, so they take the full force of the northeast monsoon at the end of the year. Mounting must allow for wind load from the sea and use salt-resistant materials. November to December is the wettest period, when roof work often has to be rescheduled around the weather, so allow extra time when booking. After the monsoon, the salt film on the panel surface should be washed off, because built-up salt reduces the light the panels receive.
