“Sri Lanka’s power sector is facing a host of issues that are resulting in ever increasing costs of electricity. Consumers are burdened with high energy costs primarily due to our dependence on foreign oil and coal for thermal power plants. There is a country wide need for the provision of cheaper or ostensibly “self-produced” power, using renewable resources. In this context, Ideal Greentech, the latest addition to the Ideal Group of Companies’ vision, is to start an Ideal green revolution,” said Group Chairman, Nalin Welgama. “So far, we have partnered with ReneSola for the supply of PV modules, inverters and hardware, as well as the supply of a complete range of LED lighting. We have also joined forces together with Mahindra Reva for Sri Lanka’s first ever brand new electric vehicle, the e2o,” said Ideal Group Deputy Chairman Aravinda de Silva. ReneSola is a Tier 1 Chinese solar panel manufacturer that caters solely to the export market and are considered No. 5 in the world when it comes to panel quality. ReneSola is vertically integrated and their quality controls are exceptional. Ideal Greentech will be offering the most cutting edge technology micro inverters which will give their customers advantages such as usability on roofs regardless of size or orientation. There will be no dangerous DC voltage fluctuations, while the panels come in easily expandable blocks of 30, 60, 90 or 120 kw. Furthermore since every panel is independent of each other, this increases total efficiency by 25 % . Welgama stressed the fact that all of the company’s products are manufactured to international standards ensuring high quality and reliability, while its corporate ethos is to provide a total solution for sustainable living that is affordable for the many, not just a luxury for a few. According to Ideal GreenTech Director Kumar Kanagartnam, the company has modernised the way every Sri Lankan can access clean, affordable, renewable energy in their daily lives through distributed generation of sustainable development. “We design and implement renewable energy solutions that cater to customer-specific needs and provide a solid return on investment. Using a collaborative engineering approach, we offer a comprehensive portfolio of cutting edge technologies to provide custom designed high quality solutions.” As a Sri Lankan renewable energy provider, Ideal GreenTech focuses on its core competencies to deliver high quality, low cost solutions to their customers via solution design and quality where solutions are tailored to fit their customers’ individual lifestyles, using high quality equipment to ensure reliability, longevity and high yields. In the area of service, Ideal GreenTech will be offering a wide range of services such as feasibility studies, design, project management and training on product usage. With regards to innovation, here too the company has recruited a team of energetic individuals who are constantly pushing boundaries in order to lead new, disruptive technologies in Sri Lanka; whilst environmental responsibility is paramount to Ideal GreenTech, as not just here in Sri Lanka, but the whole world strives to build a harmonious society that is dedicated to conserving economic and environmental resources adequately through timely and remedial sustainable practices. “We are launching our line of products in March, and hope you will all join the Ideal green revolution,” said Welgama.
