Introduces first-ever smart transformer technology to the nation’s rooftop solar installations

Hayleys Solar, the renewable energy arm of Hayleys Fentons Limited, has successfully completed the design, supply, installation, and commissioning of a groundbreaking 6.9 MW rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system for Access Logistics Private Limited in Negombo – the largest single solar roof installation ever completed in Sri Lanka. Achieved within an impressive timeframe of just three and a half months, this milestone highlights Hayleys Solar’s capability for delivering complex projects with speed, precision, and innovation.

The installation features 11,609 solar panels, 20 inverters, and 2 advanced smart transformer stations, introducing the nation’s first-ever smart transformer technology for rooftop solar. This state-of-the-art system is expected to offset approximately 7,088 tonnes of CO₂ annually, significantly advancing Access Logistics’ green energy goals while reinforcing Hayleys Solar’s pivotal role in Sri Lanka’s renewable energy journey.

The solar yield of the installation has exceeded initial expectations, delivering lasting  benefits to Access Logistics as well as the wider community and Sri Lanka’s renewable energy landscape.

Srimal Fernando, Director of Access Logistics Private Limited, stated, “Partnering with Hayleys Solar on this groundbreaking project has been a truly rewarding experience. Their exceptional execution and technical expertise enabled us to bring this large-scale solar system online in a remarkably short time. This installation will play a vital role in enhancing Sri Lanka’s energy resilience and advancing the country’s sustainability goals.”

Hasith Prematillake, Managing Director of Hayleys Fentons Limited, commented, “We are proud to have led this groundbreaking project, which introduces new technology for solar rooftops, sets a new record for a single roof solar installation, and aligns with our commitment to driving sustainable energy solutions.”

Mr. Roshane Perera, Chief Executive Officer of Hayleys Solar, added, “We are incredibly proud of the successful completion of this landmark solar project. Despite the scale and complexity of the installation, our team executed it with exceptional speed and precision, reflecting our expertise in delivering large-scale solar solutions. This project marks a significant step towards a sustainable future, not just for our company, but for Sri Lanka’s renewable energy sector as a whole.”
