The Ceylon Electricity Board (CEB) has issued a notice making a special request to owners of rooftop solar panels.
According to the notice, owners have been requested to disconnect their solar panels during a specified time period.
As such, owners of rooftop solar panels have been informed that it is sufficient to disconnect the solar panels until 3 pm from today (16 Apr), only after receiving a request via SMS.
The CEB has also extended its gratitude to the owners of rooftop solar panels who have extended their support in the last few days.
Owners of rooftop solar panels were requested to switch off their solar systems during daytime hours from 13 -21 April in order for the CEB to balance the National Grid due to less electricity consumption during the New Year holiday season. (Newswire)
