Renewable Energy

As part of our commitment to sustainability, DIMO has installed roof-mounted solar panels to power its headquarters and several other office premises, which generates roughly 1.75MW of solar power energy. In addition to contributing to the island’s renewable energy sector, we also empower industries and utilities to follow suit and join us in transforming Sri Lanka’s energy sector.

The tropical island receives its fair share of winds through the year on the east and west coast. As a renewable source of energy, DIMO has installed wind turbines in key areas where there are strong, steady winds to generate energy which is then converted to electricity.

Renewable energy sources like solar generate only a fluctuating electricity in nature, even though they are more than sufficient to feed the entire country. In off-grid power systems, electricity generated from solar should be stored in battery storages so that the stored electricity can be utilized whenever it is required. Even in on-grid solar PV systems, inverters are automatically switched off during power outages as a safety feature. This is to stop utility workers from getting electrocuted when they work on the electrical lines during power outages. Therefore, battery storages are increasingly used in on-grid systems as well to power up the appliances during power outages. The largest energy storage for a solar PV system was installed by DIMO at University of Moratuwa. It is a Lithium Battery Storage of 400kWh. DIMO can design, supply, install and commission an advance battery storage based on the customer requirement.

Generating power from solar, wind turbines, etc. micro grids allow an entity to generate power without depending on the national grid. DIMO launched Sri Lanka’s first ever grid tied renewable energy micro grid pilot project with the University of Moratuwa to provide an uninterrupted electricity supply.
