Mr. Thongchai Sophon, the managing director of SCG's roof business group, SCG Roofing Co., Ltd., revealed that SCG, as a leader of construction material innovations, has never stopped developing the quality of services and solutions to address customers' diverse home needs. Since last year, house owners' behaviour has changed. They tend to spend more time at home, for instance, working from home to reduce the risks of coronavirus infection and exposure to PM 2.5. This contributes to higher electricity consumption during the daytime, which means an increase in electricity bills by 30-50%. To reduce their expenditure, they seek for solutions and solar roofs have become one of them with the break-even point being within merely 7-10 years. Furthermore, from investors' perspectives, the installation of solar roofs can yield a return of approximately 10% per annum, which is higher than saving money in a bank. Also, recently, the Metropolitan Energy Authority (MEA) has raised the purchase price in the solar power buy-back scheme from 1.68 baht per unit to 2.20 baht per unit. This makes the installation of solar roofs a more interesting and worthwhile investment.
"Overall, the global solar rooftop market is growing continuously in both industrial and household sectors. Thailand's market for solar rooftops is expanding continually as well. The market value is about 8,200 million baht. Due to the change in customers' behavior, solar roofs have become more demanded. However, customers' knowledge and understanding of solar roofs have still been limited. For instance, little has been known about the installation standards, the standards of operating equipment and the process of obtaining necessary permits. Accordingly, SCG have developed services and solutions that can address those issues. Through Omni-Channel and digital marketing, the sales of Solar Roof Solutions grew by almost 200 % last year.'
Mr. Thongchai then said, 'This year, we are aiming to attract two groups of customers: the households and the factories and commercial buildings. 'SCG Solar Roof Solutions' is ready to get into markets for solar rooftops for factories and commercial buildings which have a high consumption of electricity during the daytime to satisfy business owners' needs to cut down electric bills. We have experienced energy consultants, who will help maximise the efficiency of the installed solar systems. It is believed that the breakeven point of solar roof installation is merely 5 - 6 years. We also have investment consultants from various backgrounds, who will help customers make a wise investment decision. Our installation teams are now ready to provide services across the country. We expect a sales growth of 600% by the end of 2021.'
