In 1982 having recognised the value of harnessing the power of the sun, Alpha Engineering Services collaborated with the National Engineering Research and Development Centre of Sri Lanka (NERD) to develop a solar water heating system that would play a pivotal role in the area of energy conservation in Sri Lanka.
SolarTherm solar water heating systems are designed and manufactured to optimise the heat absorption and efficient heat transfer from solar collector to the water running in the copper riser tubes of the panel. Heated water is transferred to the insulated hot water storage tank by thermo syphon effect. The heated water is stored in storage tank which is constructed from 316L Food grade stainless steel to avoid corrosion. This is a continuous cycle taking place as long the sunlight is available. Since 1982, SolarTherm has established themselves as a 100% solar power solutions provider. As the market Leader in the industry, SolarThem lives to the promise of continued quality and reliable service

Depletion of resources and constant increase of energy demand has a major impact on climate change and ecological disasters of our planet. Growing world population as well as better living conditions creates a growing energy demand.
With this in mind, we support industries and sectors in their transition to a sustainable energy future, and serve as the principal platform for cooperation, a centre of excellence, and a repository of policy, technology, resource and knowledge on renewable energy.
We also promote the widespread adoption and sustainable use of all forms of renewable energy, including hydropower, wind, biomass and solar in the pursuit of sustainable development, energy access, energy security and low-carbon economic growth and prosperity.
Attributed to geo-climatic settings, Sri Lanka is blessed with several types of renewable energy resources. Some of them are widely used and developed to supply the energy requirements of the country. Others have the potential for development when the technologies become mature and economically feasible for use.
We use many different energy resources to do work. Energy resources are classified as renewable or non-renewable. Renewable and non-renewable energy can be used as primary energy resources and converted into secondary energy resources such as electricity and hydrogen.
Non-Renewable Energy Resources
In Sri Lanka, non-renewable energy resources supply most of the energy we use. Non-renewable energy resources include coal, natural gas, petroleum made from crude oil and natural gas liquids. These energy resources are called non-renewable because their supplies are limited and take a very long time to form. Coal, crude oil, and natural gas formed from the remains of plants buried underground millions of years ago.
Renewable Energy Resources
Renewable energy resources include biomass, geothermal energy, hydropower, solar energy, and wind energy. They are called renewable because they are naturally replenished in a short period of time.
A natural resource is considered an energy resource, if it can be converted to a usable form of energy. There are numerous forms of energy resources in the world and different countries use different resources, primarily selected on availability and economic principles. However, environmental and political reasons also influence the selection of a country''s energy portfolio.
Availability, either local or global, is not necessarily the only factor considered for using a particular resource as an energy supply source. More importantly, the use must be economical compared with other available sources. Hence, the technology available for converting the resource to a more usable form is important in the selection of an energy resource for energy supply. Change of technology and availability of resource over time can change the economics of using the resource for energy supply. Therefore, the resources used by a country for energy requirements also change with time.
In the international market, many forms of energy resources are available for us to import and use for its energy needs. However, up to now, Sri Lanka has been largely using only petroleum fuels for this purpose. Increasing petroleum prices have prompted Sri Lanka to introduce coal in in power generation and also to examine the feasibility of using other resources such as coal and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to replace liquid petroleum in certain applications. Following are the most common energy resources globally available for energy supply on a commercial scale:
More recently, new energy supply technologies such as biofuels and energy carriers such as hydrogen have emerged as alternatives to the above conventional technologies and transfer options. However, use of these technologies for energy supply purposes is still limited in Sri Lanka.
The following table gives a brief account of the various applications of global resources in Sri Lanka.
Renewable energy resources and fossil fuel reserves that are found within our country are referred to as indigenous resources.
Some of these renewable energy resources are widely used and developed to supply the energy requirements of the country. Others have the potential for development when the technologies become mature and economically feasible for use. Following are the main renewable energy resources available in Sri Lanka.
In addition to the above indigenous renewable resources, the availability of fossil fuel deposits within the Sri Lanka territory is being investigated and yielded three deep water natural gas finds in the Northwestern offshore region.
