Solartech and Chiang Mai University Jointly Expand the Innovative Development Market of solar - based Water - ecological Agriculture in Thailand
At the important historical moment of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Thailand and China, from August 9th to 10th, 2025, the "50th Anniversary Celebration of Thailand - China Diplomatic Relations and Bilateral Regional Development Cooperation Seminar" was grandly held in Bangkok. The Belt and Road Environmental Technology Exchange and Transfer Center (Shenzhen) (referred to as the "B&RETTC"), Shenzhen Solartech Renewable Energy Co., Ltd.,(referred to as the "Solartech"), Chiang Mai University of Thailand, and the Thai E - commerce Association, etc. made appearances at the grand event. During this period, a key cooperation focusing on the green development of Thai agriculture took root: the B&RETTC, Solartech, and Chiang Mai University, a top - tier university in Thailand, jointly signed the "Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation in Thai Solar Pump and Biochar Technology", providing an innovative "Shenzhen solution" for Thai agriculture to address energy and water resource challenges.

Hitting the Pain Points: Thai Agriculture Calls for Green and Low - cost Energy and Irrigation Innovations
Agriculture is an important economic pillar of Thailand. However, the high and unstable costs of diesel power, insufficient grid coverage in remote areas, and the increasingly prominent problem of water shortages during the dry season severely restrict the income growth of farmers and the sustainable development of the industry. Traditional irrigation methods have high energy consumption and large carbon emissions. Seeking an economical, environmentally friendly, and easily deployable alternative solution has become an urgent need in the Thai market.
The Shenzhen Solution: Solartech's Solar Pump Technology Breaks the Deadlock
Solartech, which has been deeply engaged in the new energy field, has its core "weapon" - the Solartech Solar Pump System, which is the ideal answer to the above - mentioned pain points:
- "Zero electricity cost" irrigation, significantly reducing costs and increasing efficiency: The system directly uses solar energy to drive the water pump for irrigation, getting rid of the dependence on the power grid or diesel, and significantly reducing farmers' energy expenditure by 60% - 80%, enhancing agricultural competitiveness.
- Unaffected by remoteness, with flexible and rapid deployment: Its modular design allows for quick installation in mountainous areas and farmlands where the power grid is difficult to reach, bringing "timely water" to the vast rural areas of Thailand.
- carbon and environmentally friendly: Equipped with a remote - monitoring intelligent water management system, it realizes precise irrigation on demand; with zero carbon emissions throughout the process, it helps Thailand achieve its carbon reduction goals.
- Synergistic effect with biochar (a highlight of the memorandum): Combined with the biochar technology mentioned in the memorandum, solar pump irrigation can be coupled with biochar soil improvement to enhance water and fertilizer retention capabilities, forming a circular agricultural ecological closed - loop of "green energy - efficient water use - soil restoration", and doubling the comprehensive benefits.

Three - party Collaboration: The Memorandum Draws a Blueprint for the Future of Sustainable Agriculture
The signing of this memorandum of understanding marks the entry of the cooperation into a substantive promotion stage:
- Technological deepening and localization: Combining the diverse geographical climates and the needs of major crops (such as rice, fruits, and rubber) in Thailand, deepen the research on the localized application of solar pump and biochar technologies.
- Demonstration project leadership: Establish benchmark demonstration projects in different agricultural ecological areas in Thailand to visually display the economic and environmental benefits brought by the technology.
- Integration of industry, education, and research: Relying on the scientific research strength and talent resources of Chiang Mai University, carry out joint technological research and professional talent training.
- Market promotion and policy support: The B&RETTC actively builds a platform to promote technology promotion and seek supporting policy support.

Building a Green Bond and Drawing a Win - win Blueprint
The person in charge of the B&RETTC said at the signing ceremony: "The center is committed to promoting the docking of Shenzhen's advantageous production capacity with the needs of countries along the Belt and Road. Solartech's green irrigation technology precisely matches the upgrading needs of Thai agriculture. This cooperation is a model for deepening the green Belt and Road practice between China and Thailand."
The general manager of Solartech emphasized: "Thailand is an important overseas market for us. Taking this signing as an opportunity, we will continue to invest in research and development and provide more efficient and reliable customized solutions, enabling more Thai farmers to afford green energy and achieve a win - win situation in income growth and environmental protection."
The representative of Chiang Mai University pointed out: "Cooperation with leading enterprises in the industry is crucial. We look forward to transforming cutting - edge solar and biochar technologies into practical agricultural productivity through joint research and promoting the green transformation and resilience improvement of Thai agriculture."
As the friendship between China and Thailand enters its "Golden Jubilee Year", Shenzhen's innovative forces, together with Thai educational and industrial partners, use the "light" of solar energy to drive the "flow" of water pumping, supplemented by the power of biochar to fertilize the soil, jointly writing a new chapter of sustainable development featuring green and low - carbon, benefiting farmers and increasing income in the fields of Thailand. This is not only a milestone in the deepening of cooperation between China and Thailand in the fields of new energy and agricultural technology, but also a vivid practice of jointly promoting regional prosperity and ecological harmony under the Belt and Road framework.
