Lalith Gunaratne
Lalith Gunaratne and two partners had a vision to utilize the state of the art technology called Solar Photovoltaics (SPV) back in 1985 to meet electricity needs of rural people who had no access to the Ceylon Electricity Board grid. Power & Sun (Pvt.) Ltd was formed in 1986 to manufacture and market Solar PV systems in Sri Lanka. The decentralized nature of the Solar Home System market in rural areas of the country required exploring the limits of strategic management, human resources management and marketing techniques while developing this business. The company, restructured as Solar Power & Light Company in 1991 continued to develop the market using a network of rural dealers and micro-entrepreneurs. In 1999, the company was sold to Shell International Renewables. Shell Solar continues to develop on this model.
In 1995, Lalith established an international consulting business called LGA Consultants (Pvt) Ltd to build on the experience gained from developing the solar enterprise. Here, working for private sector, non-governmental, government and international institutions such as the World Bank, UNDP among other agencies, he gained insight into many other areas such as human resources development, energy policy, financing, other renewable energy technologies and general issues related to energy and development.
The consulting business has taken Lalith for assignments, training events, seminars, workshops and conferences all over the world.
He is also a published author of many papers, articles and is recognized internationally.
He is the head of the board of directors of the non-profit organization, Energy Forum of Sri Lanka and also serves in the board of the US based Solar Development Foundation.
In 2000, LGA Consultants formed a partnership with Sage Training of Australia to develop human resources in Sri Lanka.
Lalith is still very actively involved in the Renewable Energy Industry as follows:
Lalith was a founder member and have been the Convener and the Head of the Board since its inception in 1991.
