The Faculty of Informatics, Burapha University, has implemented a rooftop solar power generation system using microinverters, installed on the faculty building to enhance energy efficiency and reduce electricity costs. The newly installed system has a maximum capacity of 30 kW, with real-time monitoring showing that the system can generate over 20 kilowatts per hour during peak sunlight. On June 30, 2025 alone, the system produced over 104 kilowatt-hours of electricity.By utilizing a microinverter-based design, the system enables individual monitoring and optimization at the panel level, improving overall performance and minimizing losses caused by partial shading or panel mismatch.
This initiative directly supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7: Affordable and Clean Energy, specifically Target 7.2, which aims to substantially increase the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix.
Beyond reducing the carbon footprint, this solar installation serves as a living lab and educational resource, promoting awareness of renewable energy technologies among students and acting as a model for other academic institutions in Thailand.
