This program introduces three types of methods to capture solar energy and convert it into electricity: on-grid, off-grid, and hybrid systems. . The Ministry of Power and State Minister of Solar, Wind and Hydro Power Generation Projects Development has launched a community based power generation project titled 'Soorya Bala Sangramaya' (Battle for Solar Energy) in collaboration with Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority (SLSEA), Ceylon. . Roshane Perera discusses policy, progress and the future of solar adoption Q: How would you describe the current state of Sri Lanka's solar energy sector? A: Sri Lanka's solar energy sector has seen notable expansion in recent years with installed capacity currently exceeding 1,700 megawatt peak. . In a tropical paradise with year-round sunshine, Sri Lanka is perfectly suited for solar installations. In recent years the technology of solar energy and its usage has experienced unprecedented change and rapid growth. With rising electricity costs, a growing demand for renewable energy, and the government's push for sustainability, the future of solar power in Sri Lanka looks promising. But what trends and innovations will shape this. .
