Frequently Asked
Questions

Is Solar Power the right solution for me?
Solar power is renewable and offers far too many financial benefits for homeowners, businesses, and the planet to ignore. With rising electricity prices in Thailand, now is exactly the right time to switch. NCA Solar can help you calculate your personal ROI during a free consultation.
How long until my solar system pays for itself?
With a professionally engineered NCA Solar system, amortization of less than 4 years is achievable. The typical system life is more than 25 years, resulting in a return of more than 7 times the original investment.
What is the difference between on-grid, hybrid, and off-grid solar?
An on-grid system is connected to the PEA grid and reduces your bill by using solar first. A hybrid system adds batteries to store excess energy for nighttime or outage use. An off-grid system is completely independent — ideal for remote properties without grid access.
Are NCA Solar systems PEA compliant?
Yes. All NCA Solar installations are fully compliant with PEA (Provincial Electricity Authority) regulations in Thailand. We handle all necessary paperwork and approvals.
Can I monitor my solar system remotely?
Absolutely. NCA Solar systems include a photovoltaic monitoring solution that gives you a full overview of your electricity production and consumption — online, worldwide, at any time via iOS or Android app.
Why high-quality aluminium windows in Thailand's mild environment?
Thailand's climate is actually quite demanding — tropical heat, UV radiation, humidity, and occasional strong storms put significant stress on building materials. High-quality aluminium systems resist corrosion, maintain their shape in heat, and provide superior sealing against rain and wind compared to lower-grade alternatives. When it comes to building or renovating property in Thailand, quality windows are one of the most important long-term investments you can make.
What glazing options are available?
We offer tempered safety glass, laminated safety glass, double glazing, sound-optimized glazing, burglar-resistant glazing, and energy-optimized Low-E glazing. All variants are available in different color styles, material thicknesses, and combinations.
What is the maximum size for NCA window elements?
Due to the high stability of our aluminium systems, single elements of up to 4 meters in height are possible — perfect for modern open-plan homes and commercial spaces with dramatic glazing.
What types of window and door systems do you offer?
We offer sliding doors and windows, folding doors and windows, casement doors and windows, and fixed glazed elements. All systems can be configured with digital locks, security locks, push-pull elements, or turn-tilt solutions.
What is interior and architectural design?
Interior design is the art of creating functional and aesthetically pleasing living and working spaces — using color, furniture, lighting, and materials to achieve a specific look and feel. Architectural design goes further: it encompasses the structural planning of buildings, from spatial layout and engineering to building permit documentation. Interior design in Thailand draws on both traditional Thai aesthetics and modern international styles.
What does NCA handle in the design process?
We handle everything from initial concept to building-permit-ready documents: concept design, 3D visualization, floor plan drawings, structural coordination, and all required permit documentation for Thai authorities.
Can NCA help with a building permit in Thailand?
Yes. We prepare all construction drawings and documentation required for the Thai building permit process and can guide you through the submission.
Where does NCA operate?
NCA operates primarily in Bangkok, Chonburi, Pattaya, and Rayong. However, we can discuss projects in other regions of Thailand — contact us for details.
