Ms.Atitaya Pongsittisak, Director of Business Development at Poonpipat Co., Ltd.
Poonpipat Co., Ltd., the industrial real estate developer with over 60 years of experience under the Poonphol Group (PPG), is partnering with ONNEX SOLAR by SCG to enhance the development of solar rooftop projects at its warehouse facilities. This initiative aligns with the global transition toward clean energy, reinforcing the company’s commitment to driving long-term, sustainable business growth.
Ms.Atitaya Pongsittisak, Director of Business Development at Poonpipat Co., Ltd., remarted that due to the continuous electricity demand in warehouse operations, managing energy costs has become a crucial factor in maintaining business competitiveness. A survey by the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) revealed that 54.9% of respondents reported electricity expenses accounting for 15–30% of their total production costs.
This highlights energy cost a critical factor that requires be strategic management. Moreover, with increasing energy price volatility and evolving environmental policies from both the government and consumers, businesses must adapt—not only to ensure survival, but also to achieve responsible and sustainable growth.
“Currently, the green warehouse extends beyond merely installing a solar rooftop system,” stated Ms.Atitaya. “It involves restructuring the entire business to maximize energy efficiency, minimize waste, and support a circular economy that optimizes every resource. Most importantly, sustainability shouldn’t be perceived as a distant goal—it must start now. One of the simplest and most immediate result-driven steps is to utilize clean energy from the sun.”

According to SCG International, the installations of a solar rooftop system can lead to a reduction in electricity costs by as much as 30–50% per month during daytime operations. For medium-sized factories, this solution can also lower the carbon footprint by more than 500 tons per year. Through its collaboration with ONNEX SOLAR by SCG for the installation of solar rooftop system, the company has achieved tangible results, including a 40% reduction in daytime electricity costs and a measurable decrease in carbon footprint by more than 450 tons of CO₂ per year. Additionally, this initiative maximizes the utilization of the warehouse’s roof space—creating business value in a fully efficient way—without interrupting operations or affecting tenants using the facility, which stands out as a significant advantage.
In addition to developing clean energy, the company strongly prioritizes energy efficiency across all aspects of its operations. One key initiative includes the use of electric hydraulic excavators and electric forklifts in cargo handling, helping to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, minimize noise level, and decreasing air pollution. This strategy reflects the organization’s firm commitment to its Go Green vision.

Ms.Atitaya added that the collaboration with ONNEX SOLAR by SCG was founded not only based on the company’s well-established expertise and strong reputation, but also on ONNEX’s comprehensive End-to-End Solution approach, which covers everything from site surveying, analysis, system design, and installation to reliable after-sales service. Importantly, the ability to analyze detailed energy usage behavior through an energy audit enables the design of a system that truly aligns with the company’s actual production requirement. Combined with a real-time monitoring and maintenance system via a digital platform, this ensures that the installed solar panels Function at peak efficiency throughout their lifespan, while maintaining the highest safety standards. Looking forwaed, the company intends to continue investing in clean energy, recognizing that solar power—particularly through rooftop installations—is not just a passing trend, but rather the future of business operations.
This is especially relevant in the context of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance), which is being increasing adopted worldwide as a key benchmark for evaluating an organization’s credibility. Today, customers and business partners have already begun using ESG standards into their decision-making process when selecting suppliers and landlords. In the near future, these standards are expected to become a primary selection criterion. Therefore, investing in clean energy is no longer just about reducing costs—it’s a strategic move to establish a foundation for long-term credibility. Environmentally sustainable practices not only bring benefits to the company through enhanced customer appeal and cost savings but are also increasingly in demand across the market.
