GROUND MOUNTED SOLAR POWER PROJECTS

Monaragala 1MW Solar PV Project, Sri Lanka

The Monaragala Solar PV Project, boasting a robust capacity of 1 MWp, was successfully commissioned in September 2021 as the first ground mounted solar project of Vidullanka PLC . This pioneering initiative materialized under the distinguished “Soorya Bala Sangramaya Phase II” program. The project’s strategic location spans five acres of land in the Kahambana region of Monaragala. Impressively, it contributes an annual energy yield of 1.5GWh to the national grid, reaffirming its significance in promoting sustainable energy generation.

Horana 2MW Solar PV Project, Sri Lanka

The 2 MW Horana Solar PV Power Project has been developed by Vidullanka PLC, through one of its fully owned subsidiaries, Horana Solar Power Pvt Ltd. This is the 3rd Ground Mounted Solar project of the Group, which is expected to annually feed 4.5GWh of much needed clean energy to the National Grid of Sri Lanka, thereby saving 3,300 metric tons of carbon emissions. This project was awarded as part of the 150MW AC Solar PV tender floated by the Ceylon Electricity Board; and is the first project to be implemented as part of the tender. 4,480 numbers of 535Wp Bi-facial PV Modules have been installed on 80 Single Axis Trackers which rotates based on the sun path.

Project capacity 2.4 MWp
Location Horana, Sri Lanka
Plant Factor 21%
Global Horizontal Irradiation 1863 KWh/m2/year
Annual Generation 4.4 GWh
