Sri Lanka, April 14 -- The National System Control Center has issued a special request to rooftop solar power system owners, asking them to voluntarily switch off their solar inverters today, April 14, until 3:00 PM.

According to statements from EDL (Private) Limited and NSO (Private) Limited, this measure is a direct response to the significantly low electricity demand recorded across the national grid during the New Year festive season.

As industrial activity and general commercial consumption slow down for the holidays, the excess energy generated by decentralized solar systems can create challenges for grid management.
