JinkoSolar, a global PV and ESS supplier, has commissioned a 9.728MWp rooftop solar photovoltaic system at Bangkok’s Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal, Thailand’s largest railway station.
The installation, carried out by the Hiper Smart Consortium, is intended to meet the high and stable electricity demand for the lighting, cooling, and operational systems of the terminal, which serves over 600,000 passengers daily.
The project, developed by the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) for the State Railway of Thailand (SRT), incorporates more than 15,000 high-efficiency Tiger Neo TOPCon modules.
The modules were selected for their superior energy yield and high-power density, features necessary to maximise generation on the station’s vast rooftop and address its intensive, 24/7 energy requirements.
Operating under a self-consumption scheme, the PV power directly offsets electricity purchased from the grid, which is projected to reduce the station’s operational costs and enhance its energy resilience. This project represents a strategic scale-up of Thailand’s distributed PV efforts.
Daniel Liu, General Manager of JinkoSolar Indo-Pacific, said: “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.”
The initiative highlights the company’s role in delivering large-scale, cost-effective renewable energy solutions for high-impact public infrastructure in support of national sustainability goals.
