System types

On-grid, off-grid and hybrid

On-grid solar

Connected to the TANGEDCO grid, with surplus exported and credited against your consumption. The lowest cost per kW, eligible for the PM Surya Ghar subsidy, and the right choice for the large majority of Chennai homes and businesses with a reliable connection.

On-grid solar systems in Chennai →

Off-grid solar

Runs entirely on panels and battery storage with no grid connection at all. Suited to sites with no supply or genuinely unreliable supply. Not eligible for the PM Surya Ghar subsidy, which applies to grid-connected residential systems.

Off-grid solar systems in Chennai →

Hybrid solar

On-grid economics with a battery buffer for outages. Suits homes and premises where interruptions matter, such as work-from-home setups, medical equipment or areas with frequent cuts. Costs more than on-grid, and the battery should be sized to critical loads rather than the whole property.

Hybrid solar systems in Chennai →

Choosing between them? We have written a full comparison covering cost, subsidy eligibility, backup behaviour and which suits which situation.

On-grid vs off-grid vs hybrid

By property

Solutions by property type

Homes

Rooftop systems from 1 kW to 10 kW, sized against twelve months of consumption, with the PM Surya Ghar subsidy and TANGEDCO net metering handled by us. Elevated structures up to 9 feet where the terrace needs to stay usable.

Residential solar →Independent houses →

Apartments and housing societies

Common-area systems covering lifts, pumps, corridor lighting and the STP, with the ₹18,000 per kW society subsidy and the documentation your general body needs.

Solar for apartments →

Commercial premises

Turnkey EPC for offices, shops, clinics and institutions, starting with an energy audit and sized to daytime self-consumption, with CAPEX and OPEX options.

Commercial solar EPC →CAPEX vs OPEX →

Factories and industry

Rooftop and ground-mount for manufacturing units across the Chennai belt, including metal sheet roof engineering and installation scheduled around production.

Industrial solar →

Institutions

Schools, colleges, hospitals and clinics, each with load patterns that need designing for rather than assuming.

Retail

Showrooms and multi-outlet chains, including carports where roof area is limited or the roof is not yours.

Beyond rooftop panels

Other solar solutions we install

Solar street lights

Standalone solar street lighting for gated communities, apartment complexes, factory perimeters, layouts, schools and campuses. Each unit runs on its own panel and battery, so there is no wiring back to a meter, no TANGEDCO application and no addition to your electricity bill.

Solar-powered CCTV

Surveillance at locations without convenient power: perimeters, gates, construction sites, remote plots and campus boundaries. Runs independently of the grid, which also means it keeps working through an outage.

Solar carports and canopies

Elevated structures over parking areas and forecourts carrying the array, generating power while shading vehicles. Suits showrooms, factories, apartment complexes, hospitals and campuses where roof area is limited or the parking is more valuable shaded than the roof is bare.

Elevated mounting structures

Raised structures up to 9 feet that keep the space underneath usable. On a house it preserves the terrace. On an apartment it preserves resident access. On a hospital it spans plant while preserving service access. It also improves generation, because panels run cooler with airflow beneath them.

Battery backup and storage

Battery systems added to hybrid installations, sized to the loads that genuinely need to ride through an outage rather than to the whole property, which is what keeps the cost sensible.

Services

What we do besides installing panels

Energy audit

Twelve months of consumption analysed for load pattern, tariff category, sanctioned load and, for businesses, demand profile. This is where the system size is actually decided. Free before any proposal.

Design and engineering

Electrical and structural design in-house, including mounting designed for Chennai's 50 m/s wind zone and salt mist specification for coastal properties.

Approvals and subsidy

TANGEDCO net metering, sanctioned load enhancement, three-phase conversion where needed, and the PM Surya Ghar subsidy application filed and followed through to disbursal. You sign, we file.

Maintenance and monitoring

One year of maintenance included with every installation, covering cleaning, annual inspection and warranty coordination. Generation monitoring is configured at handover with a benchmark for what your system should produce each month in Chennai, so underperformance is visible rather than invisible. AMCs available afterwards.

The standard

What every installation includes, whatever we install

ALMM-listed, DCR-compliant panels, so subsidy claims are never put at risk by the hardware

An itemised quotation naming every component, brand and specification, so you can compare us line by line

In-house installation. We do not subcontract, so the person who surveys your roof is accountable for what happens on it

Approvals handled, including net metering and subsidy filing

25 year panel performance warranties passed through in full, plus our own workmanship warranty

One year of free maintenance from commissioning

Every solution above starts the same way: we look at what you are actually consuming and what your site can carry, then recommend accordingly. Send us your area and your last electricity bill, and we will tell you which of these applies to you. If none of them does, we will tell you that too.

Common questions

Orientation questions

On-grid, off-grid and hybrid rooftop solar for homes, apartments, businesses, factories and institutions, plus solar street lights, solar-powered CCTV, solar carports and elevated mounting structures. We also provide energy audits, system design, TANGEDCO net metering and PM Surya Ghar subsidy handling, and ongoing maintenance.

For most Chennai homes and businesses with a reliable TANGEDCO connection, on-grid is the right answer, since it costs least per kW and is eligible for the subsidy. Hybrid suits premises where outages matter enough to justify a battery. Off-grid suits sites with no supply or genuinely unreliable supply. The full comparison covers how to decide.

Yes. Residential systems from 1 kW to 10 kW, apartment common-area systems for housing societies, and commercial and industrial EPC projects for businesses, factories, schools, hospitals and showrooms.

Yes. Both run standalone on their own panel and battery, with no wiring back to a meter, no TANGEDCO application and no addition to your electricity bill. They are commonly installed for gated communities, apartment complexes, factory perimeters, campuses and layouts.

Yes. We file the PM Surya Ghar subsidy application on the national portal and the TANGEDCO net metering application, and follow both through to the meter being installed and the subsidy reaching your account. We also file sanctioned load enhancement and three-phase conversion where these are needed.

One year of free maintenance from commissioning, covering panel cleaning, annual inspection of connections and structure, generation monitoring and warranty coordination with the manufacturer. An annual maintenance contract is available afterwards.
