Does anyone have any recent experience with installing solar electricity systems in PP?
Which companies would you recommend?
Is the technology durable? Reliable? Much maintenance required?
What kind of payback period is there?
Even any ideas on approximate pricing for a small office running 10 PC's, a couple of aircons, lighting, fridge, kettle, rice cooker & the ubiquitous 20 mobile phones being simultaneously charged.
This would be for a property in construction, not an existing property.
Probably just looking at solar electricity & not hot water. Appreciate any advice.
Cheers

Would be a very expensive system trying to use 220v items. I suggest you try using laptops, led lights, gas fridge and gas for cooking. Use as many 12v appliances as possible check on sites catering to motorhomes. Haven't used in Cambodia but have lots of experience as I lived over 30 years off grid.
Solar hot water is the easiest and best system to be built and use for someone interested in using solar here in kow.

I know average payback in the UK (with "subsidies", from the tax payer) it'd take 6-10 years to pay it back.
Here I'd imagine longer.
Plus you'll have to have controllers, inverters and a battery bank - that'll need replacing in five years, plus the battering the panels will get in the rainy season.
Trumped up waste of time, unless you've no choice.
