Rayong, Thailand – March 20, 2025 – Kehua, a global leader in photovoltaic and energy storage solutions, has commissioned a 10MW solar power system at a major tire manufacturing facility in Thailand, marking significant progress in Southeast Asia's industrial energy transition. Utilizing Kehua's SPI125K-B high-efficiency inverters, the project underscores the viability of solar energy for large-scale industrial applications.
Project Overview
The solar installation generates over 13 GWh of clean electricity annually. By displacing fossil fuel reliance, the system reduces the facility's carbon footprint by 12,300 metric tons of CO₂ annually—comparable to planting 560,000 mature trees. Operational cost savings exceed 50%, with a projected return on investment within three years.
Technological Excellence
The SPI125K-B inverters, engineered for harsh tropical environments, ensure 99.9% system uptime despite Thailand's high humidity and temperature extremes. Advanced grid-support functions, including reactive power compensation and low-voltage ride-through, guarantee stable integration with the local power grid. Kehua's proprietary smart monitoring platform enables real-time performance optimization and predictive maintenance, minimizing downtime risks.
Strategic Impact for the Client
Beyond environmental benefits, the project strengthens the manufacturer's competitive positioning. By aligning with Thailand's Carbon Neutrality 2050 Strategy and global ESG standards, the facility has emerged as a regional benchmark for sustainable manufacturing. The scalable design allows future capacity expansions to meet growing production demands, ensuring long-term energy security amid volatile electricity markets while maintaining cost predictability.
A Blueprint for Industrial Sustainability
This project establishes a quantifiable pathway for Southeast Asian manufacturers to navigate regional electricity market fluctuations while enhancing competitiveness in global green supply chains. Industry analysts observe that this model, which strategically aligns cost efficiency with sustainable development objectives, is redefining value assessment frameworks for energy-intensive industries by demonstrating operational decarbonization can concurrently achieve environmental stewardship and economic value creation.
