“Nikini makes history pioneering in to grid connected solar photovoltaics in Sri Lanka, Great News for the environmentally conscious”

“Nikini installs state of the art technology to generate own power for Nikini’s zero energy office. The nation’s first grid tie solar PV installation whose German made inverter banks have highest efficiencies of its class of inverters in the world and with a reliability that is unmatched and solar modules from Sharp, Japan To generate energy for the building for a period in excess of 20 years. This is a bold move to save energy and also to get rid of the head ache of ever fluctuating and increasing oil prices that have an impact on cost of electricity.

The solar PV power plant is a first of its kind in Sri Lanka while being connected to the grid as well as the air conditioner system in the building. This is turning over the myth that has prevailed for ages that solar power cannot run air conditioners. Being 25.2 kW in capacity and being 3 phase it is one of the monumental achievements in history In Sri Lanka, a prime hot spot for solar PV power to boast the local talent that installed and commissioned the system. The entire installation was carried out by Nikini engineers who were trained in Germany for solar PV power.

A national achievement so to speak.

Solar PV and other renewable energy technologies could save us energy as well as produce better environment well being for all of us. It is high time the corporates in Sri Lanka who adopt environmental best practices of solar PV took an interest in solar PV as way of green marking their corporate endeavors.

Nikini being a pioneer industrial automation company now establishes its Renewable Energy Division to catapult the use of the renewable in to the public domain. Including high quality systems for light generation as well as water heating using the energy from the sun. Free energy.”
