The opening was announced a month after the first PV plant in Thailand using REC modules was opened. 

The 9.5MW Chiang Rai project, the largest in northern Thailand, is owned jointly by Thai construction giant CH Karchang and the independent solar-power producerSonnedix, a repeat REC customer. 

“The best way to serve a market is simply to be there,” says Jose Luis Martin, REC’s project development manager in Thailand.
