A. Project description
A.1. Title of the JCM projectIntroduction of 0.95 MW Rooftop Solar Power System in Cigarette Lighter Factory
A.2. General description of project and applied technologies and/or measures
The proposed JCM project aims to reduce CO2 emissions by introducing a grid-connected solar
photovoltaic (PV) system on top of the Factory Building of Thai Merry Co., Ltd.. The total
solar module output is 950.6 kW and overall system output is 733 kW. The solar PV system
replaces the grid electricity mostly derived from natural gas. All of the power generated by thesolar PV system is self-consumed and not fed into the grid. Installed modules are Toshiba 72
cell polycrystalline PV module. This module achieves high performance even in the hightemperature and high-humidity climate in this project site. PV generated energy is monitored
at a remote location.

A.6. Contribution from Japan
The proposed project was partially supported by the Ministry of the Environment, Japan(MOEJ) through the Financing Programme for JCM Model projects, which provided
financial support of less than half of the initial investment for the projects in order to acquire
JCM credits. As for technology transfer, capacity building on operation and monitoring hasbeen provided by Finetech Co., Ltd. through its office in Thailand.

E. Local stakeholder consultation
E.1. Solicitation of comments from local stakeholders
Local stakeholder consultation (LSC) meeting was held at 14:00-16:00, 30 November 2018at the meeting room of Thai Merry Co., Ltd. (TM). Participants from the government (Thailand
Greenhouse Gas Management Organization), Managing Director, supervisor, and operators ofTM, EPC contractor, and focal point (Finetech Co., Ltd.) were invited to LSC. Comments werecollected from participants. The minutes of meeting was distributed and reviewed among theparticipants.
