Legal Framework for the Development of Solar PV Rooftop in Household Level

Abstract

The purposes of this research article is to study and analyze the legal measure to promoting the production of electricity from solar rooftops at the household level in Thailand. The study compared various legal measures to promote the production of electricity from solar pv rooftop in household level in foreign countries including Germany, China and Malaysia. This is to analyze and find ways to formulate the necessary legal measures that will incentivize the people sector to participate in the more sustainable generation of electricity from solar rooftop systems. The study found that Thailand should review and revise the legal and regulatory measure for promoting solar rooftop power generation at the household level comprehensively. This will help avoid conflicts between government agencies and attract private investment. Better regulation will help more flexibility in selling or restructuring investment. In addition, the license process should be reviewed for greater transparency, especially for small projects. Regulations to promote the production of electricity from solar PV rooftop at the household level should be defined in specific laws in accordance with the sustainable development framework.
