Through the ages Sri Lanka was heavily dependent on hydro power. However with the degradation of hydro resources and the increasing demand for power, we have to rely heavily on the use of fossil fuel to meet our energy requirements, which is a massive drain on the country’s financial resources, causing a domino effect on electricity price hikes during the past few years.

It has become an urgent need to look for more sustainable and greener ways to fulfil our power requirements. Sri Lanka is geographically positioned near the equator which gives us the perfect climatic conditions for Solar Power Generation.

The sun is the main power source of our solar system. It emits a vast amount of energy to our planetary system, in particular to the earth, as it is closer to the sun. Sri Lanka alone gains more than 262,000 GWh per day which could yield about 38,000 GWh per day with available technology. This is equivalent to 3,271,866 tons of oil (TOE). In just a second we can generate 3.04 GWh (261.4 TOE) of electricity using Solar Photovoltaic Energy, and in less than 11 seconds we can generate the total daily electricity requirement of Sri Lanka. In a tropical climate like ours, with plenty of sunshine throughout the year, solar energy would and should be the solution to our present energy crisis.

Making the right choice when selecting a photovoltaic solar system is the most important for a successful investment and trouble-free performance for the next 25 years or even more. LG Neon 2 Solar Systems from Abans are the most efficient, technologically advanced solar panels in the world, producing high output by minimising power generation losses. With Abans’ over 50 years’ experience in the market and exceptional track record in providing high-quality solar systems from LG, one of the world’s best brands, you can be assured that LG Neon 2 Solar Systems will meet your specific electricity consumption needs as a homeowner. 

LG Solar Panels undergo both internal and 3rd party testing above and beyond the minimum standards required for solar PV modules. All products undergo: electroluminescence (EL) testing to identify cracks and flaws invisible to the human eye, an extended reliability test that subjects panels to high levels of irradiation to simulate conditions that a panel would see over its lifetime, comprehensive durability testing in which panels undergo long-term monitoring in a variety of climates, and extreme mechanical tests that assure the panels’ resilience against heavy loads, hail, and other heavy impacts. Additionally, the manufacturing environment in which LG panels are produced is virtually dust free – on par with those of highly sensitive semi conductor manufacturing facilities. This prevents imperfections that can cause inefficiencies and decrease efficiency down the line.

Here are some of the benefits of installing LG Solar Panels from Abans: No worries of paying electricity bills for at least 25 years; It is a renewable energy source; no maintenance needed; Supported by the Government Soorya Bala Sangamaya Program; reliable technology and guaranteed efficiency; rigorous quality checking during production process; manufacturing history can be traced from the serial number on every panel; complies with international safety norms; 25 years warranty from manufacturer and Abans; generates more electricity with fewer panels; requires less rooftop space; light-weight panels do not carry more weight on your roof.

Abans has successfully carried out over 250 major solar installations for households, high rise buildings, apartment complexes, government and private sector organisations, hospitals, banks and so on. 

On 6 January 2017, Abans Chairperson Aban Pestonjee and ITN CEO Chandana Thilakarathna signed an agreement for the installation of a 100 kw Solar System; thereby, making ITN the first media organisation to enter into an agreement with Abans. 

Abans also commends the Government of Sri Lanka for their encouragement and efforts to persuade private and public sector enterprises as well residences to convert to alternate sources of energy such as solar power.

Abans Engineering Ltd., a part of the Abans Group of companies, handles the supply and installation of LG Solar Power Systems. Abans Engineering Ltd. are pioneers and specialist in supply and installation of central air conditioning VRH systems to apartments and high-rise buildings and large government and public organisations. In addition to solar systems and central air conditioning systems, their range of products and services also includes supply and installation of elevators and escalators and power generators efficiently handled by a team of highly experienced and trained engineers and technicians.
