Synogen, a clean energy engineering and technology company, has successfully commissioned one of Sri Lanka’s largest rooftop solar photovoltaic projects - a 6.4 MWp installation for Best Pacific Textiles Lanka (BPTL).
Now fully operational at BPTL’s manufacturing facility in Pannala, the rooftop solar system supplies a substantial portion of the plant’s daytime electricity requirements through clean, renewable energy. This reduces reliance on the national grid while supporting lower carbon emissions across Sri Lanka’s export-oriented manufacturing sector. 
Designed and executed to international standards, the project demonstrates the feasibility of deploying large-scale rooftop solar solutions within complex industrial environments. From structural engineering and electrical integration to rigorous safety compliance and system optimisation, the installation reflects a disciplined, engineering-led approach focused on long-term performance and reliability. 
The system is expected to generate millions of kilowatt-hours of clean energy annually, supporting BPTL’s sustainability commitments while improving energy efficiency and operational resilience.
The successful commissioning of this project reflects Synogen’s broader mission - to enable cleaner, smarter energy ecosystems through insight-led, tech-enabled, and precision-engineered solutions across the power, mobility, and storage spectrum.
Synogen was established as a joint venture between the Sino Lanka Group and Atman, combining deep local execution capability with strategic investment strength and a long-term infrastructure perspective. The partnership was formed to address the evolving energy needs of businesses and cities navigating rising energy costs, decarbonisation targets, and growing demand for intelligent energy systems.
The company is governed by a board comprising senior leaders from both partner groups, bringing together expertise across engineering, infrastructure development, finance, and strategic investment. This enables Synogen to operate with institutional discipline while delivering projects at scale.
