The Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority (SLSEA) has issued a public notice urging homeowners and institutions to verify the legitimacy of service providers before installing rooftop solar systems.
The move comes in response to rising complaints about fraudulent companies misleading electricity consumers into believing they are authorised to install such systems. As demand for solar energy grows amid rising costs and a push for sustainable alternatives, the rooftop solar program has become increasingly popular. SLSEA advises public to exercise caution and conduct due diligence when selecting solar service providers.
Under the SLSEA’s rooftop solar rooftop solar power installation program, only service providers registered with the authority are authorised to undertake such installations. Electricity users are advised to confirm the registration status of any service provider through the official SLSEA directory, available online via https://www.energy.gov.lk/images/sooray-bala/registered-solar-pv-serviceproviders-company-directory-2024-12.pdf
SLSEA noted that no imports or services beyond those carried out by registered providers are authorised ensuing compliance with technical and regulatory standards.
