BAM GREEN selects REC solar modules

REC solar modules have been selected by BAM GREEN. REC will supply REC Peak Energy Series modules to BAM GREEN. REC solar modules were ranked first with the highest performance ratio of 90.8% in the year long independent field test conducted by Photon Laboratory in 2011 which measures energy yield.

REC modules generated more electricity than 45 other module brands, producing 6 percent more power than the test average.

The cost of electricity generated by solar is highly competitive with traditional sources of electricity in Sri Lanka. BAM GREEN offers customised solar system solutions to make solar more accessible in this promising region. Users can take advantage of BAM GREEN’s Solar PV NET Metering Systems to exchange excess power with the utility company to effectively reduce their electricity bills.

With the region’s continuing population growth and the present and projected energy demand gap in Asia Pacific, there is a huge opportunity for solar energy.

Head of Indian Subcontinent Region, REC Solar Asia Pacific Anil Yadav, said, “REC together with BAM GREEN will bring green, renewable and sustainable solar energy into Sri Lanka, a Sunbelt country, which enjoys high irradiation levels. Sri Lanka is in a prime location that enjoys some of the world’s highest insolation levels and can significantly contribute to the global energy source with its solar energy generation potential.

Market fundamentals are conducive for the growth of solar in Sri Lanka”. Project Lead Executive, BAM GREEN, Asanka B. Thennakoon said about 12 percent of the Sri Lankan population has no electricity in their homes as the country works out a solution for its power and energy crisis.
