The Sagasolar Power Station is a solar photovoltaic power station built next to the Hambantota Solar Power Station, in Hambantota, Sri Lanka. The solar farm is owned and developed by Sagasolar, a joint venture between LOLC Group and Faber Capital Limited, with 70% debt funded by DFCC Bank, Commercial Bank of Ceylon, and Hatton National Bank. The 10-megawatt facility is expected to generate approximately 19GWh annually for at least 25 years.[1]

48,000 solar panels manufactured by Solon International are utilized in the solar farm, which extends 45 acres (18 ha), within a zone declared for solar power developments by the Sri Lanka Sustainable Energy Authority.[2]
