Solar on every roof, BOI solar correction, open source section
Deploy test site / deploy (push) Successful in 54s

Solar (user, 17 Oct 2026: "use as much roof space as possible")
- PV on every roof and canopy: ~640 kWp on the Payap scenario plot
  (factory roof ~523, canopies ~54, flat office roof ~65 kWp around the
  AC units); ~300 kWp on the Mueang Chi hall. Calculator: pvKWp 640,
  new pvSelf 85 % (zero export, hourly sketch), PV cost per kWp times the
  array, office-roof PV in the iso view, roofs drawn full.
- 12.8M to 16.6M THB at 20 to 26 THB/W; CSV baseline 34.37M to 56.34M;
  launch plant ~168M / 231M / 294M THB with contingency; Plan B ~216M
  (label ~215M), ~39M above Plan A; Plan A unchanged (it leases the
  array), its solar lever ~17.5M. PV payback ~4.2 to 5.9 years.
- Permits (rooftop solar no factory licence since 28 Dec 2024, ERC
  exemption under 1,000 kVA, PEA zero export) and PPA discounts sourced
  in sustainability.md.

BOI correction
- Announcement 3/2568 (in force 1 July 2025) ended BOI promotion for
  solar installations; only the battery may qualify (12M THB per MW cap).
  Removed the "BOI solar measure" from boi.md, total-investment,
  revenue-model, sustainability, site-candidates and both plan versions;
  Plan B's case for owning the array is the PPA bill it avoids
  (~0.07M USD a year).

Open source (user, 17 Oct 2026)
- digital-factory.md "Open source throughout, and working with other
  plants": everything we run and build is open source on NixOS, our code
  published (licence to decide), vendor firmware the stated exception;
  later the stack and factory-automation services for other pressing
  plants, not in the revenue.
- Business plan section 5.6 plus an executive-summary bullet, reading
  guide and not-modelled mentions; draft 0.3 rebuilt (A 60, B 61 pages),
  renders re-made with the roofs full.

- **Solar and battery**: the alternative-energy measure (Announcement
2/2568, April 2025, under the Smart and Sustainable Industry framework)
grants CIT exemption based on the solar investment. Eligible spend
explicitly includes PV modules, inverters, BESS and BESS inverters, and
mounting structures, capped at THB 12M/30M/40M of investment value per MW
depending on investment type. The planned Deye + Gobel installation
converts directly into CIT-exemption headroom.
- **Solar: no longer promoted; the battery may be.** The alternative-energy
measure (Announcement 2/2568, April 2025, under the Smart and Sustainable
Industry framework) granted a CIT exemption on the solar investment,
capped at THB 12M/30M/40M per MW. **Announcement 3/2568** (5 June 2025,
in force 1 July 2025) ended promotion for installing solar power
generation under that measure for applications from 1 July 2025; what
remains is machinery modified to use other renewable energy, and battery
storage (BESS) with its inverters, the eligible investment capped at
THB 12M per MW

[Smarter Energy Solution](https://smarterenergysolution.com/blog/boi-solar-thailand-2026),
checked October 2026). So owning the ~640 kWp array earns no BOI
benefit; its case is the bill (see [sustainability](sustainability.md)).
Whether the 271 kWh battery qualifies is for the BOI consultant. A PPA
developer selling solar power (200 kW or more per distribution point)
can still be promoted under activity 7.1.2 (8-year CIT exemption); that
benefit is the developer's, and how much of it reaches the PPA price is
a negotiation
