JinkoSolar has commissioned a landmark 9.728 MWp rooftop PV system at Bangkok’s Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal, Thailand’s largest railway station. Serving over 600,000 passengers daily, the station’s high electricity demand for lighting, cooling and operational systems is now met by more than 15,000 high-efficiency Tiger Neo TOPCon modules under a self-consumption scheme installed by the Hiper Smart Consortium.
The landmark project, developed by the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) for the State Railway of Thailand (SRT), marks a strategic upscaling of Thailand’s distributed PV efforts. The Tiger Neo modules were selected for their superior energy yield and high power density, ideal for maximizing generation on the station’s vast rooftop to meet its intensive 24/7 energy needs. The self-consumption scheme means this PV power directly offsets electricity purchased from the grid, significantly reducing the station’s operational costs and enhancing its energy resilience.
Daniel Liu, GM for JinkoSolar Indo-Pacific, commented: “Powering a national landmark like this railway station with JinkoSolar’s Tiger Neo technology exemplifies how high-efficiency PV directly translates into economic and operational benefits for critical infrastructure. This project sets a powerful, replicable blueprint for Thailand’s clean energy transition, and we are ready to support more such transformative initiatives across the region.”
