The Provincial Rooftop Solar Programme
Starting in May 2021, Gaia Greenenergy entered into an agreement with the Provincial Government of the Uva Province to lease the rooftops of 1,000 schools, hospitals, other government facilities and develop nearly 50 MWp of power. Installations commenced in June 2021. Today, we have entered into similar agreements with the Central, North Central, Southern, Sabaragamuwa, and Western Provinces to develop solar rooftop PV power plants in over 7,500 sites and this will go on to be the largest solar PV development programme in Sri Lanka’s history with 500 MWp. The proposed programme plans to deliver 750 GWh of green energy to the national grid.
We share 15-16% of our revenue with the Provincial Councils giving them their highest revenue source once the project is fully operational. This is multiple times their electricity cost, making it possible to use these funds to offset these expenditures in schools, hospitals and other facilities, whilst also having excess funds to help develop them on a regular basis. We have been able to do this mainly because we develop our projects at a significantly lower cost when compared to the rest of the industry.
Rooftop solar projects can be implemented much faster and is an ideal solution for Sri Lanka in its current plight.
Schools – The Heart of the Programme
Gaia consciously initiated its implementation of the Rooftop Programme in schools, thus conveying the message of responsible energy consumption to the young leaders of tomorrow. In the wake of this economic crisis in Sri Lanka and the energy crisis, we are educating the youth on the importance of renewable energy, climate protection and energy independence.
The stakeholders soon found out that the buildings with these systems installed have reduced ambient temperatures by several degrees given the solar panels absorb much of the heat, making the interiors much more comfortable than before . Moreover, the University of Moratuwa in a paper written on this province drew the conclusion that when this project reaches 65 MWp capacity that daytime power cuts could be eliminated for the whole province. This would significantly contribute to productivity and keep critical facilities such as medical clinics operating through the day.

In short, our panels absorb the sun’s energy, then channeling it through discreetly placed wires to an inverter. There it is being converted to electricity.
