New Nighttime Solar Tariff: Turn Your Battery Investment into a Profit Center

Upcoming tariff scheme that will revolutionize how solar power is valued in Sri Lanka: Energy Minister to introduce a special promotional tariff for solar power with battery storage, specifically designed to purchase electricity during the night-time peak hours.

What This Means For You This promotional tariff will create a unique opportunity for solar power system owners to generate additional income by storing daytime solar energy in batteries and selling it back to the grid during evening peak hours when electricity is most valuable.

"Sri Lanka is preparing a special promotional tariff for solar power with battery; where batteries will be charged with solar during day and electricity will be supplied during the night peak, as part of efforts to boost renewables."

“It is likely to be a promotional tariff, we would like investors to come for that. We will make it profitable for them." - Minister Jayakody addressing parliament.

“They can charge the battery during the day and supply to our grid during the night.”

"A committee has been appointed to go into the matter. We will finalize it, submit for cabinet approval and bring it out.”

- Energy Minister Kumara Jayakody

Why Hybrid Inverters & Batteries Are Essential With this new tariff structure, a hybrid inverter paired with battery storage becomes not just a backup solution, but a smart investment: Capture free solar energy during the day

• Store excess power in your battery system

• Sell stored energy at premium rates during night peak hours

• Maintain power during outages

• Reduce dependence on the grid

• Contribute to grid stability while maximizing your returns

The Bigger Picture This initiative is part of Sri Lanka's ambitious goal to produce 70% of energy from renewable sources. Recent growth in rooftop solar has highlighted the need for storage solutions to maintain grid stability, especially during weekends when solar generation is high but demand may be lower.
