OVERVIEW OF SOLAR ELECTRICITY IN SRI
The Sri Lankan Government and the Ministry of Power have launched some programs to promote this clean, renewable energy resource,
Sri Lanka receives significant amount of solar radiation across all geographical regions. The Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) varies between 1,247 kWh/m 2 to 2,106 kWh/m 2. It is interesting to note that the intensity of solar irradiation in lowland areas is high compared to mountainous regions.
However, the temporal and spatial data lacked accuracy and resolution necessary to make informed decisions on potential solar power applications. Therefore, the availability of accurate solar resource resolution was considered crucial for the sustainable development of solar resources in Sri Lanka.
The Solar Resource Atlas of Sri Lanka is an important addition to the existing knowledge on solar resources of Sri Lanka. The first solar atlas of Sri Lanka was prepared by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) of USA, in 2005, as the Wind and Solar Resource Atlas of Sri Lanka and Maldives.
s national energy policy. Sri Lanka's power sector development is carried out based on the Long-term generation expansion plan (LTGEP) prepared by th Transmission Licensee (ie. Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB)) and approved by the Public Utilities Comm
The first solar atlas of Sri Lanka was prepared by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) of USA, in 2005, as the Wind and Solar Resource Atlas of Sri Lanka and Maldives. Such attempts in exploring solar resources of the country provided valuable information leading to gross estimates of solar potential.
Solar energy is used worldwide and is increasingly popular for generating electricity or heating and desalinating water. Solar power is generated in two main ways: Photovoltaics (PV), also called solar cells, are electronic devices that convert sunlight directly into electricity.
