Why Solar Electricity?

Solar energy is clean and renewable. A solar electric system can not only lower the cost of your electricity bills, but it also reduces the negative impact on the environment. Photovoltaic (PV) modules have no moving or wearing parts, and require no maintenance other than an occasional cleaning. Solar power is also a secure investment that reduces your exposure to the continuing rising costs of energy in Sri Lanka annually

The components of a Grid Tied Solar System

bullet1

Solar Modules

:

Convert Sunlight into DC Electricity

 

bullet2

Inverters

:

This converts the DC Electricity to 240V 50Hz AC electricity. The 240V AC energy is accustomed to energy home appliances with your home.

 

bullet3

Net Meter

:

A Unit displaying the Imported and Exported Power to/from the GridMounting Structure for the Solar Panels on your roof/ground

 

Benefits for Commercial Installations

  • Solar energy helps meet green building standards (Eg: LEED® Certification)
  • National Green Awards
  • Sri Lanka National Energy Efficiency Awards
  • Tax benefits, government subsidies and grants

Does PV work well in cold weather?

As photovoltaic’s generate electricity from light, not heat, PV technology is highly suitable for cold weather environments, on the whole even generating more power at lower temperatures. This is because they are electronic devices, and almost all electronic devices operate more efficiently at cooler temperatures. On cloudy days power output is considerably reduced.

How will I use electricity during night?

Sunrise Engineering solar PV system is designed to produce electricity sufficient for a day’s consumption. Any excess power produced during the day will be exported to the grid and will be utilized back during the night from the grid.


This flow is monitored through the net meter. Eg. Imagine you require 100 units of electricity for a day; therefore we design a system that produces 100 units for a day. Its observed only 80 units are needed for the day consumption. The remaining 20 units will be exported to the grid and credited to your account. During night time, the Solar system shuts down and these excess 20 units are drawn back from the grid for your night consumption.

What is the investment?

The pricing of our systems start from LKR 870,000 onwards. However we will always makes sure we offer the best Price for your system after the site inspection. With our “0” down payment option you can start saving from day one.

Loan facilities available

Yes, we offer flexible payment options with Banks to fit your financial goals using our strong relationships with Sampath bank, NDB, Amana Bank and Pan Asia Bank. You can be rest assured to receive tailor made financial re payment plans that will fit your budget. Make the switch today.

Is Maintenance required for Solar systems?

Yes minimal maintenance is required. Panels should be cleaned of debris, and anything that can block the sun to ensure maximum output. Some components may need regular inspection by professionals. Maintenance and servicing of the Solar PV System is scheduled to take place on a time interval of 4 (four) months. Prior notice will be given on the scheduled service date in the respective month. Anyhow

Sunrice Engineering will monitor the status of your Solar PV system performance and status of each component carefully.

Grid-Tie and Off Grid

A "grid-tie" solar system is one that ties into the power grid, drawing electricity from the grid when needed, then exporting excess electricity back into the grid when the local customer isn't using the full capacity being generated by PV panels (photovoltaic).

 

Off-grid solar energy systems convert sunlight into electricity without connecting to local utility grids. The Energy is stored in Battery banks and is utilized for your appliances. This option is suitable for remote locations where access to the national grid is not available.

What is Net Metering?

Net metering is a billing mechanism that credits solar energy system owners for the electricity they add to the grid. Net meters measure the balance of energy imported and exported between the customer and the grid. Excess electricity produced by the Solar PV system, beyond what is consumed by the customer, can flow into the utility grid and is registered as a credit through the net meter. If the customer’s consumption of electricity exceeds what is generated by the energy system, the meter will register the ‘net’ amount of electricity that has been supplied from the grid.

How do PV modules convert sunlight into electricity?

Solar panels are made from thin layers of silicon, a semiconductor material that absorbs the sun’s rays and turns them into electricity. When photons from the sun hit the photovoltaic cells in a solar panel, electrons in the solar cell are knocked loose from their atom, allowing the electrons to flow freely. Solar cells force these electrons to flow in a certain direction along a wire, creating a current, which is then drawn off the cell to create electricity that powers your home or business

What if the PV module is blocked by leaves, dust and shadows?

If fallen leaves, shadows or something similar cover a PV module, resistance increases at the affected area and overall power output decreases only on the affected module while the other PV modules perform at their peak. This can be monitored and rectified with Power Optimizer where module level performance is observed.

How to determine the Solar PV capacity for me?

We will need to analyze your electricity bill based on your consumption and any possibilities for future expansion of Electrical Equipment at your premises. If your property is under construction we will analyze your roof availability and a prediction of your energy consumption.

When will I recover my investment?

  • General Purpose 5-6 Years
  • Hotel 8-9 Years
  • Industrial 9-11 Years
  • Domestic 4-5 Years

*Please note Tariff increment in the upcoming years is not taken into consideration

Space required for a SUNRISE PV solar system

The amount of space you will require will depend on a number of factors. For instance, the amount of energy you wish to produce, the panel type and orientation. It will also depend on whether the PV system will be mounted on a roof or the ground. For a domestic 4 kW system a suitable, structurally sound, south facing roof is around 32 m2 required area. You just need enough installation area, sound wiring, and a distribution board with enough room to place the inverter. We will advise you if it is impractical to install in your situation.

Alright, I need a Solar System installed in my premises. What’s next?

Please do call our hotline and leave it to the professionals. Our Engineers will consult you and perform a site visit to propose the best solution for you. Upon confirmation, our installation team will install the Solar PV system at your premises under the supervision of our Engineers of all disciplines.
