SooryabalaSangraamaya
“Sooryabala Sangraamaya” Battle of Solar Energy is a government program to power up the country with renewable energy up to a 50%, by the year 2025.
All Sri Lankan energy consumers are invited to develop solar power plants & feed the national grid at an attractive benefits scheme.
The government is ready to set off your electricity bill or to buy total energy yield at a very attractive price scheme. This process will be backed by a Twenty-Years power purchase agreement signed with the utility provider, CEB or LECO.
Being a key stakeholder in this program, Solar Thirst is ready to support you in solar installation and project approvals.
Select The Best Plan
Net Metering
The customer generates electricity using solar panels fixed on their rooftops which are connected to the grid through a net metering system. The consumer has to pay only for the net amount of electricity that was consumed. If the solar electricity production exceeds the electricity consumption of the premises, the balance amount can be carried forward to future use upto 10 years. No fee will be paid for the excess electricity produced. Existing net metering customers can switch to other schemes if they wish to. However, the accumulated electricity units prior to the signing of new agreement shall not be carried forward.
Net Accounting
If the electricity generation of solar rooftop system is greater than the consumption, the consumer will be paid for the excess according to the below table. If the consumption is greater than the generation, the consumer shall pay for the excess consumption according to the existing electricity tariff structure.
Net Plus
The total electricity generation from the solar rooftop system would be purchased by the utility. The bill for electricity consumption would be paid to the utility as usual.
The utility would pay the solar electricity producers for the excess electricity exported to the grid on the following basis with effect from the date of the agreement signed with the utility.
| Period | LKR/kWh |
|---|---|
| First 7 years | 22.00 |
| 8th to 20th year | 15.50 |
The installed capacity of the Generating Facility shall not exceed the Contract Demand of the Producer. The contract period is 20 years
