In Thailand, most schools rely on electricity from the national grid, making it challenging to achieve net-zero energy. However, this research focuses on a school near the Thailand-Myanmar border, utilizing locally available solar and hydropower resources. A proposed electrification system, including PV modules, batteries, and an inverter, effectively supplied the school's electricity needs. As a result, annual diesel consumption dropped significantly, leading to a substantial reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (3650 kg-CO2e). With further energy efficiency measures, the school has the potential to achieve net-zero energy.
