Solar Panels Courses Phuket Near Me

4worldlovers: The sun doesn’t just provide warmth and light, it’s also a source of clean green energy. Phuket has an abundance of sunlight, even during the rainy season. Phuket also has rising electric bills, frequent power outages, and a desire to be classed as “eco-friendly”. It’s time to join the solar revolution!


Solar panels work by absorbing sunlight with photovoltaic (PV) cells, generating direct current (DC) energy and then converting it to usable alternating current (AC) energy with an inverter. AC energy then flows through the home’s electrical panel and is distributed accordingly. Here are the main steps for how solar panels work for your home:


Photovoltaic cells absorb the sun’s energy and convert it to DC electricity.


The solar inverter converts DC electricity from your solar modules to AC electricity - the standard for households

Electricity flows to your load panels, and contributes to your overall electricity demand. During a power outage, electricity will only be supplied to select loads (5a), to maximize the battery’s output

A digital meter keeps track of how much energy is incoming and how much the solar system is supplying. You can optionally export power to the utility grid.

Phuket is ideal being near to the equator and averaging 2,070 hours of sunlight hours per year. This averages roughly 5.67 peak sunlight hours per day (seasonally ranging from 3.6 hours/day to 7.6 hours/day.)

Even in monsoon rains, the solar panels can still produce electricity. The amount of power generated is based on light. Depending on cloud cover and rain intensity your system will still produce a percentage of its capability (just like you can still get a sunburn in overcast weather).

With the on-line monitoring app, you can see exactly how much energy you’re producing at all times.

How much power will the solar system supply? Can it run my air conditioner?

In normal operation, the solar system simply contributes to all of your electrical needs. If you have batteries, the solar system will contribute to your electrical needs in heavy rain and into the night.

In a power outage, can I still use my air conditioner?

AVC will work with you do determine most suitable the emergency power loads. While there may be sufficient energy to run an air-con, it may deplete the batteries before the mains power comes back on. It is much better to carefully select loads such as your water pump, WiFi system, some power sockets and some lights that can withstand an eight-hour power failure without depleting the batteries

Selected projects the AVC Engineering have be involved with with our partners Barysol/Solarwert.

4worldlovers: "Why spend hundreds of thousands of Baht every year when the unlimited power of the sun can pay for it?"

4worldlovers: Octopus Electrical Service was established 23 years ago by Mick Kealy. Prior to the creation of Octopus Electrical Service, Mick spent many years living and working on boats around South East Asia. During this time, he worked as a captain and engineer on several pleasure and commercial vessels. As a qualified electrician, Mick also spent much of this time rewiring many boats around Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines including the famous Stormvogul. Upon settling down in Phuket, the decision was made to start Octopus Electrical Service in 1998.

The early days of the company saw Mick working from home on his motorbike, but in the decades since, Octopus Electrical Service has grown into one of the biggest marine electrical companies in Asia. This growth can be credited to a handful of hardworking Thai electrical and electronic engineers. People who joined the company with enthusiasm and have stayed loyal throughout the many years that followed and have continued to build on their knowledge base and long-term relationships with our clients ever since. With Mick’s broad knowledge of the Marine Electrical Industry, our professional worker base and Paul (our resident service IT Guru) we have built a formidable team with over 80 years of electrical experience.
