The rising electricity costs due to extreme heat have led many to seek ways to save on bills during the hot season, particularly through solar energy systems. However, questions arise about whether the investment is worthwhile. To provide accurate knowledge and promote renewable energy, Rajamangala University of Technology Srivijaya at Rattaphum College, Songkhla Province, has established a solar cell learning resource center. This initiative allows students and the public to gain insights before making installation decisions.

On April 3, 2023, Rajamagala University of Technology Srivijaya in Rattaphum District, Songkhla Province, opened the Solar Cell Innovation and Technology Center. This center serves as a comprehensive learning resource for solar cell systems, providing academic services for students and external individuals interested in enhancing their skills, including professionals and farmers looking to utilize solar energy in their areas. Training programs will be available for those keen to learn.
Professor Kathawat Chumkwan, a faculty member of the electrical program, spoke about various forms of renewable energy, including hydro, wind, and solar power. He emphasized that solar energy, readily available in all regions, can be easily harnessed. During the hot season, many households face doubled expenses due to increased electricity consumption from appliances, leading to higher electricity bills. Therefore, one effective way to save on electricity is through solar energy systems, which can generate power in any location. However, the installation must align with the area’s characteristics and the electricity consumption behavior to ensure efficient use. This approach can genuinely help reduce electricity costs during the hot months, Professor Kathawat said.
