Synogen commissions one of Sri Lanka’s largest rooftop solar projects
The Morning: Synogen has commissioned one of Sri Lanka’s largest rooftop solar photovoltaic projects, a 6.4 MWp installation at the manufacturing facility of Best Pacific Textiles Lanka (BPTL) in Pannala.
The project, which is now fully operational, supplies a significant share of the factory’s daytime electricity demand, reducing reliance on the national grid and lowering carbon emissions in Sri Lanka’s export-oriented manufacturing sector.
Designed and implemented to international engineering and safety standards, the installation demonstrates the viability of deploying large-scale rooftop solar systems in complex industrial settings. The project involved structural assessments, electrical integration, and system optimisation to ensure long-term performance and operational reliability.
According to Synogen, the system is expected to generate several million kilowatt-hours of renewable energy annually, supporting BPTL’s energy efficiency and sustainability goals while strengthening resilience against grid volatility.
Synogen was established as a joint venture between the Sino Lanka Group and Atman, combining local execution capability with long-term investment expertise. The company focuses on delivering clean energy solutions across generation, storage, and intelligent energy management systems for commercial and industrial clients.
Beyond power generation, Synogen has developed an in-house energy monitoring and intelligence platform that provides real-time performance data, analytics, and predictive insights across deployed assets. The platform is supported by the company’s internal servicing teams and is designed to optimise system performance and minimise downtime.
The BPTL installation is expected to serve as a reference project for Sri Lanka’s industrial sector as manufacturers increasingly seek to balance energy costs, security, and sustainability requirements.
OSL take:
Sri Lanka’s ongoing economic activities and overall economic expansion have resulted in an increase in the demand for power. The country’s power industry, especially the renewable energy generation sector, has become a hotspot for business/investment opportunities. The Sri Lankan government’s commitment to expanding the country’s clean and sustainable energy generation component and with many sectors opting to adopt renewable energy generation solutions have resulted in the expansion of business/investment opportunities in the renewable energy generation sector. Businesses already engaged in the renewable energy generation sector continue to record growth and profits while many foreign businesses/investors have expressed interest in entering the sector, indicating the increasing business potential in the renewable energy sector. Given these developments and the continuing expansion in the renewable energy sector given the country’s status as an emerging business destination in the South Asian region, foreign businesses/investors could confidently explore the expanding business/investment opportunities in Sri Lanka’s renewable energy generation sector and areas related to it.
