The Solar Industries Association of Sri Lanka (SIA) has elected its new leadership team to address the pressing challenges faced by the industry.
The elections, held at Waters Edge, saw Javid Kamil appointed as President, Sanjeevan Sivagnanam as Secretary, Asanka Tennakoon as Vice President, and Ranila Vithanage as Treasurer.
As the foremost association representing the majority of solar installations in Sri Lanka, SIA plays a pivotal role in the country’s renewable energy landscape. The association is committed to collaborating closely with stakeholders to achieve Sri Lanka’s ambitious target of 70% renewable energy by 2030. To this end, SIA advocates for supportive policies and the integration of advanced solar technology to boost the penetration of solar energy across the nation, all while ensuring commercial viability for solar industry players.
Javid Kamil, the newly elected President, emphasised the importance of unity and collaboration within the industry to meet these goals. “Our mission is to ensure that the solar industry in Sri Lanka not only thrives but also contributes to the global renewable energy sector. We are committed to advocating for policies that support our industry and integrating cutting-edge technology to achieve higher solar energy penetration,” he said.
The Association extends an invitation to all organisations involved in the solar industry to join SIA. By becoming a member, stakeholders can contribute to and benefit from the association’s efforts to foster a sustainable and profitable solar industry in Sri Lanka.
