Vision Statement - To establish solar energy as the primary source of
energy in Sri Lanka by 2030. Mission Statement: To serve as the premier source of guidance and encouragement in the development of Solar Energy Industry in Sri Lanka. To Support all Aspects of Solar energy technologies and utilization, development of industry, promotion of technical, commercial and marketing activities to create an industry to be the prime source of energy for all sectors in Sri Lanka and ensure a secure, sustainable and environmentally benign energy future for the country.
Association Objectives
To form a network among solar industries, vendors and consumer
organizations for successful harnessing and utilization of Solar Energy in Sri Lanka To obtain information and disseminate information on state of the art solar energy technologies, covering solar thermal energy capture, Solar Photo Voltaic technologies of mono crystalline poly crystalline PV Cells, Thin film PV technologies and other emerging technologies and concentrating solar technologies. To conduct studies and make recommendations for the adoption of above technologies best adapted for the Sri Lanka environment and conditions To advice and lobby with the government on development of policies, enactment of regulations, incentives and other promotional activities necessary for the speedy and optimal utilization of the solar energy resource for the country. To generate necessary standards and codes of practice for the safe and efficient implementation of solar energy systems by the members, initially as a self-regulation measure and lobbying with the government to legalize such standards and codes of practice to be mandatory for all players in the Solar Energy Industry. To serve as a forum for exchange of information and interaction on Solar energy development. To encourage and promote solar energy development, establishment of practices and activities in Sri Lanka and assist the members to achieve their best potential for themselves and the country. To Develop solar energy as a major development initiative with maximized local value addition, in addressing secure and affordable electrical and thermal energy services for the country. To serve as a vehicle through which Government, bilateral and multilateral donor and private assistance for all aspects of solar energy development may be equitably and effectively extended to members. To provide adequate and updated information on effective and sustainable development of solar energy systems to the members, and in co-operation with members to provide same to all relevant Ministries, including Ministry of Power and Energy, Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry of Environment, and other relevant institutions in the public and private sectors.
To provide information, lobby with and act as an industry promoter with
GOSL, CEB, SLSEA, PUCSL and with the public in the furtherance of the industry.
To provide necessary services for the purpose, or act directly as a
certification and /or regulatory body in solar energy system pricing, approval of standards to be met in installation and operation of plants. To liaise with and promote solar energy development with banks and funding agencies, donors locally and internationally. To enhance the awareness and knowledge of all solar energy systems amongst the relevant institutions and general public, through all available media to accelerate the adoption of solar energy in the country and to establish its role as the primary source of energy in the future. To establish fruitful collaborations with individuals, consumer organizations and other relevant institutions who are best placed to further the primary objectives of the Association To form linkages with relevant international institutions, research laboratories and such other organizations to acquire state of the art technologies and products and adapting them for the optimal levels in the country.
