Recently, global leading PV and energy storage supplier Jinko Solar announced the successful grid connection of its rooftop photovoltaic project at the Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal in Bangkok, Thailand, with a total installed capacity of 9.728 MWp. This project, developed for the State Railway of Thailand (SRT) by the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) and constructed by Hiper Smart Consortium, represents a significant step toward the large-scale development of distributed photovoltaics in Thailand’s public infrastructure sector.
As Thailand’s largest and most critical railway transportation hub, the station serves over 600,000 passengers daily, with its lighting, air conditioning, and operational systems relying heavily on stable power supply. Jinko Solar’s Tiger Neo modules, known for their high energy yield and power density, are ideally suited to the station’s expansive rooftop space and 24/7 electricity demand, maximizing green power generation. Operating under a self-consumption model, the project utilizes over 15,000 high-efficiency Tiger Neo modules, enabling the railway station to offset grid-purchased electricity directly with solar power. This not only significantly reduces operational costs but also enhances the station’s energy resilience.
