Complete Guide to Solar Site Assessment in Sri Lanka
Ensure Your Property is Solar Ready with Professional Evaluation
Solar site assessment is the essential starting point for anyone planning a solar installation in Sri Lanka. It determines whether your property whether residential, commercial, or agricultural is suitable for solar power generation. At
DeepTec, we specialize in guiding customers through the full process of preparing a site for clean energy success.
✅ Why You Need a Solar Site Assessment
Before installing a solar water pump or rooftop solar panels, a proper solar site assessment ensures:
-
- Efficient use of solar energy
-
- Reduced installation and operating costs
-
- Compliance with grid tie requirements
-
- Long term system performance

🔍 Step 1: Check Sunlight Exposure (Key to Solar Site Assessment)
A good solar site assessment starts with checking how much sunlight your property gets:
-
- Do you receive at least 5–6 hours of direct sun per day?
-
- Are there shadows from trees, walls, or nearby buildings?
-
- Is the roof or land angled correctly to catch the sun?
Most sites in Sri Lanka benefit from south facing installations for maximum output.
🏡 Step 2: Assess Roof or Ground Space for Solar Installation
-
- Do you have a clear, strong roof area for panels?
-
- Is ground space available for larger systems like solar irrigation?
-
- Can mounting structures be installed safely?
DeepTec evaluates your space as part of every solar site assessment to ensure system fit.
💧 Step 3: Evaluate Water Source for Solar Water Pumping
If you’re installing a solar water pump, the site assessment includes:
-
- Verifying the depth and distance of the water source
-
- Measuring the daily water demand for crops or livestock
-
- Checking for piping or irrigation infrastructure
⚡ Step 4: Examine Electrical Setup (Grid or Off-Grid)
-
- Is your location on grid or off grid?
-
- Is there space for batteries and inverters?
-
- What are your current and expected energy needs?
We design systems to match the findings from the solar site assessment, ensuring efficient design.
📄 Step 5: Confirm Legal Documents and Approvals
A DeepTec solar site assessment also checks:
-
- Land ownership or lease documentation
-
- Local authority permissions
-
- Eligibility for SEA/CEA approvals
📍 Case Study: Solar Site Assessment for Narangala Irrigation
We conducted a detailed solar site assessment for a 20 acre tea estate in Narangala. Despite initial shade and terrain issues, we optimized solar placement and pump configuration. The result: fully solar powered irrigation with zero diesel use.
🛠️ What If the Site Isn’t Ready?
If the assessment finds issues, we help you:
This is all part of DeepTec’s end to end solar site assessment and design service.
📍 Real World Example: Preparing for a 20 Acre Irrigation Project in Narangalla
When we installed a solar powered irrigation system for a large scale farm in Narangala, our team conducted a thorough solar study. We repositioned panels, optimized pipeline routing, and installed custom steel mounts to ensure maximum sun coverage throughout the year.
As a result, the farm now receives 100% of its irrigation needs through clean solar power with zero fuel dependency.
