Sri Lanka's Agrivoltaic Project Boosts Tea Plantation Sustainability
Sri Lanka has inaugurated its first Agrivoltaic demonstration project, an 85 kWp project backed by the Asian Development Bank. The project, located in Hanthana – Kandy, features transparent solar panels that allow sunlight to reach crops, benefiting tea plantations and other vegetable crops. The project is expected to generate electricity to power 19 households and contribute to the national grid with a 24 kWh battery energy storage system.The project also includes a LED lighting system above the tea plants to create a controlled environment for optimal growth, utilizing solar power efficiently and emitting minimal heat. Additionally, a groundwater pump with a borehole arrangement will facilitate water supply for both the tea plants and the nearby estate community. Overall, the project is expected to generate well above 100 MWh of electricity annually, showcasing the potential of Agrivoltaics in Sri Lanka and beyond. How will Sri Lanka's Agrivoltaic project benefit tea plantations and households? The Agrivoltaic project in Sri Lanka will benefit tea plantations by allowing sunlight to reach crops through transparent solar panels, promoting optimal growth and increasing productivity. The project will also benefit other vegetable crops by providing a controlled environment with LED lighting systems powered by solar energy, reducing heat emissions and maximizing growth potential. The electricity generated by the project is expected to power 19 households, reducing their reliance on traditional energy sources and lowering electricity costs. The project will contribute to the national grid with a 24 kWh battery energy storage system, helping to stabilize the grid and support the integration of renewable energy sources. The inclusion of a groundwater pump with a borehole arrangement will ensure a sustainable water supply for both the tea plants and the nearby estate community, promoting agricultural sustainability in the region. Overall, the project is expected to generate well above 100 MWh of electricity annually, demonstrating the potential of Agrivoltaics to benefit both agricultural productivity and energy sustainability in Sri Lanka and beyond.

Solar Power As CSR Lights Up Temple In Sri Lanka Currently
Sri Lanka, which or else has great weather conditions for solar energy generation, is ultimately altering, as well as transforming fast. Close on the heels of the government making strategies to ramp up renewable energy generation from solar as well as wind, comes this story of a company making use of Solar power as a CSR initiative at a temple. Roof solar is currently in focus this year, developing grounds for a larger push as neighborhood competence as well as sources establish better. S.L.A.M Power Solutions (Pvt) Ltd., FIMER's unique network partner in Sri Lanka, has actually contributed a solar power system to Rathmalana Piyarathanarama Temple. The Piyarathanarama sacred temple as it is famously called is a Buddhist temple positioned in Attidiya near Colombo is an important religious solution and also support company to its nearby neighborhood members. To help the temple manage its electrical energy bills, FIMER provided its UNO-DM-5kW inverter via S.L.A.M Power Solutions (Pvt) Ltd that contributed a 5kW solar PV system as a part of its annual CSR program. In the temple, there are roughly 8 monks staying currently along with another group of "Dayaka" participants. The temple was encountering high electrical energy power bills as well as a result of inadequate funds, had actually approached Manoj Tharaka, Director of S.L.A.M Power Solutions, for a practical option to suppress increasing electrical power expenses. S.L.A.M Power analyzed the requirements of the holy place as well as decided to contribute the whole system of 5kW to the temple authorities. FIMER's UNO-DM-5kW inverter was chosen for this project. Chirag Wijenayake, Director of Green Light Solar Lanka, who was the EPC specialist for this project, stressed the high quality of products together with regional service warranty handling and after sales solution.
