“This was a big change for my business and I started out at a time of strong demand for corporate signs 20 years ago. With his success in the signage business, Vanchai expanded his investment to Bt100 million to start the solar farm after his company gained a licence from the Energy Ministry in 2016. The company built the solar farm with a capacity of 1.75 megawatts on a 20-rai plot in Klong 4 district of Pathumthani. The solar farm began operating in 2017 and generated sales of Bt25 million that year. “We estimate a return on our Bt100 million investment in the solar farm will come in about seven years,”Vanchai also landscaped the area around the solar farm and it is now has a solar track for people to enjoy cycling.
