JLanka reaches green energy generation milestone

Sri Lanka's pioneering solar power solutions provider, JLanka Technologies achieved the five GWh (Giga Watt Hours) Green Energy generation milestone recently.

Technical Manager, JLanka, Channa Mudhalige said that the company is delighted to achieve the five GWh milestone with the installation of over 750 solar energy systems islandwide since 2011.

"As a next generation solar service provider, we have installed a large number of solar power systems over the past four years," he said.

According to Mudhalige, since its inception to date, JLanka's total installed solar electricity capacity was over 3.75MW and would soon reach the four MW mark. JLanka's vision towards a greener country has reduced over 3,521 tons of CO2 (carbon dioxide) emissions which is equivalent to saving 6,550 trees on the planet or over 1.352 million litres of hydrocarbon fuel burned or 2,380 tons of coal for power generation.

"We launched our journey with meticulously selected partners and the world's best technologies. We are proud to partner global leaders in the industry such as SolarEdge and Trina Solar which were selected after many years of research, exploring and experimenting with suitable inverter technology and solar panels to match grid conditions and environmental conditions in Sri Lanka," he said.
