HNB PLC has renewed its partnership with Hayleys Solar, the renewable energy arm of Hayleys Fentons, to offer maximum value to customers seeking solar energy solutions.
The MoU was signed between the two parties at an event held at HNB Towers in the presence of HNB AGM – Head of Retail Banking, Kanchana Karunagama and Hayleys Solar, Executive Director / CEO, Roshane Perera.
“The transition to renewable energy is crucial for Sri Lanka’s sustainable future, and our renewed partnership with Hayleys Solar exemplifies this shared mission. It aligns with the nation’s sustainability goals and the bank’s sustainability and CSR policies, underscoring our continuing efforts to integrate sustainable development and responsible banking into HNB’s corporate agenda and operations.
As the country’s partner in progress, we’re dedicated to supporting our community in this green initiative, helping them harness renewable energy and reach their fullest potential,” said Kanchana Karunagama, HNB AGM – Head of Retail Banking.
This initiative is part of Hayleys Solar’s new programme, Nayak Nowena Nayak, offering customers a low monthly bank installment that costs less than their current electricity bill. The savings from this lower payment can then be reinvested in their family’s future, while they enjoy free electricity for the next 20 years.
HNB customers will benefit from special pricing on solar solutions and preferential interest rates on personal loans for solar purchases. HNB credit cardholders can also enjoy attractive instalment plans, including 0 percent interest for up to 48 months on qualifying purchases.
“The renewal of our partnership with HNB underscores our shared commitment to supporting the renewable energy sector during this crucial phase of the nation’s efforts towards economic revival and environmental sustainability. We are confident that our top-quality products and superior after-sales services, combined with HNB’s internationally renowned financing, will greatly benefit individuals and businesses looking to transition to solar energy,” said Roshane Perera, Executive Director / CEO - Hayleys Solar.
Hayleys Solar will offer extended warranty periods and specialized after-sales services for their solar products to further enhance the value provided to customers. The company has also committed to providing ongoing support and maintenance to ensure optimal performance of installed solar systems.
