First of its kind by a Sri Lankan University

Sunpower installed and commissioned a 7kW solar system at the medical faculty of University of Kelaniya in Ragama to generate electricity and feed the national grid. The Kelaniya University thus became the first university in Sri Lanka to enjoy free electricity. The Government of Sri Lanka encourages consumers to generate electricity using renewable sources and feed the national grid and as a result consumers can enjoy free electricity in most cases. This mechanism is called net metering.
