The going high diesel price is challenging the production costs, product prices and the income & consumption of farmers, which affects the Thai agricultural output. Solartech high reliable and efficient SPM permanent magnet solar pumps (DC brushless motor solar pumps ) brought a new hope for Thai agriculture.
