Hayleys Solar, Sri Lanka’s No. 1 renewable energy solutions provider, has successfully handed over a 90 kW rooftop solar power system to the Faculty of Medicine, University of Colombo, marking a significant milestone in advancing clean energy integration within the country’s higher education sector.
Initiated by the Old Boys’ Association of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Colombo, the project reflects the powerful role alumni can play in advancing institutional development and long-term sustainability.
The installation will help meet a substantial portion of the faculty’s daily energy requirements, reducing reliance on conventional grid electricity while enhancing energy efficiency and lowering its carbon footprint.
“As Sri Lanka continues its journey towards a more sustainable energy future, initiatives such as this demonstrate the growing importance of renewable energy adoption across key sectors. Educational institutions play a vital role in shaping future generations, and integrating clean energy solutions into their operations creates a lasting impact beyond energy savings. At Hayleys Solar, we are proud to support institutions such as the Faculty of Medicine, University of Colombo, in achieving greater energy independence while contributing towards the country’s renewable energy goals,” said Roshane Perera, Deputy Managing Director – Energy, Hayleys Fentons Limited.
As institutions increasingly embrace responsible resource management, the Faculty of Medicine’s investment in renewable energy sets a strong benchmark for sustainable campus development across the country.
The project delivers both economic and environmental value, helping the Faculty reduce operational energy costs while contributing to meaningful reductions in greenhouse gas emissions over the long term.
With this successful handover, Hayleys Solar continues to play a leading role in supporting Sri Lanka’s transition toward renewable energy, highlighting the impact of partnerships between the private sector, educational institutions, and alumni networks to build a more sustainable future.
