Initiative by joint venture between Sino Lanka Group and Atman helps advance shift toward intelligent energy systems
-
SYNOGEN, a clean energy engineering and technology company, has successfully commissioned one of Sri Lanka's largest rooftop solar photovoltaic projects - a 6.4 MWp installation for Best Pacific Textiles Lanka (BPTL).
Now fully operational at BPTL's manufacturing facility in Pannala, the rooftop solar system supplies a substantial portion of the plant's daytime electricity requirements through clean, renewable energy. This reduces reliance on the national grid while supporting lower carbon emissions across Sri Lanka's export-oriented manufacturing sector.
Designed and executed to international standards, the project demonstrates the feasibility of deploying large-scale rooftop solar solutions within complex industrial environments. From structural engineering and electrical integration to rigourous safety compliance and system optimisation, the installation reflects a disciplined, engineering-led approach focused on long-term performance and reliability.
The system is expected to generate millions of kilowatt-hours of clean energy annually, supporting BPTL's sustainability commitments while improving energy efficiency and operational resilience.
