GULF1 Unveils Full-Service Home Solar at Living Festival 2026
Gulf Energy Development's residential solar brand 'Wan Athit by GULF1' attracted strong interest at Living Festival 2026, showcasing complete home solar solutions with partners AIS and AIS 3BB Fibre3. The event highlighted growing consumer demand for clean energy and smart living, driven by a new government subsidy of 50,000 baht per household that cuts solar payback periods to 3-6 years. GULF1 emphasizes equipment quality, professional installation, and comprehensive after-sales service as key differentiators.
GULF1's residential solar brand 'Wan Athit by GULF1', part of Gulf Energy Development Public Company Limited (GULF), achieved success with its booth at the recent Living Festival 2026 home and garden fair. The booth attracted continuous visitor traffic and consultation requests throughout the 10-day event, reflecting clearly increasing public interest in clean energy and residential solar, particularly following ongoing government measures supporting household solar.
Dr. Amnuayporn Prakobnopkao, Managing Director of GULF1 and Senior Executive Vice President of Solar Energy Business at Gulf Energy Development Public Company Limited (GULF), stated: "Throughout the 10 days of Living Festival 2026, the 'Wan Athit by GULF1' booth, together with AIS and AIS 3BB Fibre3, presented complete home solar solutions along with consulting activities and suitability assessments for each household. We received excellent response from visitors seeking advice. We also see a trend among new-generation consumers who prioritize equipment quality, installation expertise, provider reliability, and after-sales service maintenance — reflecting growing interest in residential clean energy and the Smart Living concept, especially over the past 3-4 years."
The latest measure promoting residential solar installation, which subsidizes 50,000 baht per household, serves as another key driver making clean energy more accessible to the public while supporting the country's long-term greenhouse gas reduction goals. This measure enhances investment value and reduces the solar system payback period to approximately 3-6 years, making now an ideal time for homeowners planning solar installation.

Multiple packages are available to suit all electricity consumption levels. At the recent Living Festival 2026, special promotions added further value for customers, including one year of free AIS 3BB Fibre3 internet, AIS Points, and other premiums from the 'Wan Athit by GULF1' brand, reflecting GULF1 and AIS's commitment to delivering quality service and peace of mind to every family.
Mr. Thitiphon Phumi-amorn, a Living Festival 2026 visitor who booked a solar cell system at the event, said he currently pays over 10,000 baht monthly for electricity and sought ways to manage costs, believing solar installation would reduce his bills. He also utilized the 50,000 baht per household government subsidy to lower installation costs and increase value.
