Solar Panel Installation in Selaiyur
Larger plots take 4 kW to 8 kW, with three phase work filed in parallel not afterwards
Selaiyur has the plot sizes that most of Chennai gave up decades ago. Genuine terrace area, room to raise an array, and consumption to match. It is also a college locality, which brings a second kind of project with a completely different sizing logic.

Looking for a solar panel installation company in Selaiyur?
Blues Renewables is a solar panel installation company working in Selaiyur and across Chennai since 2020. We install rooftop solar for homes, apartments, businesses and industrial units, handle the PM Surya Ghar subsidy of up to ₹78,000 for households and the TANGEDCO net metering application end to end, and include two years of free maintenance with every installation.

The local picture
Larger plots, larger systems, and the three-phase step
Selaiyur’s residential plots are significantly larger than those in inner Chennai, which means bigger usable terraces and systems that commonly run 5 kW and above. That threshold has a procedural consequence: TANGEDCO supplies three-phase above 4,000 watts of connected load, so most installations here involve either an existing three-phase connection or a phase conversion.
What that means for your timeline
Phase conversion is a separate application
And it must complete before the solar system can be commissioned.
Filed alongside the net metering application, the two run in parallel
Filed afterwards, a six-week project becomes twelve. We check your connection at the survey specifically to avoid this.
Sanctioned load enhancement
Frequently needed for the same reason, with the same fix.
Space makes elevated structures practical here
Larger terraces mean a raised array is a clean installation rather than a compromise, and households that use their terrace keep it. Raising the array to 9 feet leaves the space walkable and shaded, and improves generation through airflow beneath the panels.
The college factor
A campus generates most in the months it is closed
Selaiyur’s institutional presence brings campus projects, and those follow a different logic entirely. Because institutions are non-domestic consumers on net feed-in rather than net metering, vacation surplus sells back well below what the campus pays for imports. Campus systems should be sized to term-time daytime load, and installed during a vacation, which means starting the approvals months ahead.

Residential
Solar for Selaiyur homes
Independent houses
The core market, typically 4 kW to 8 kW depending on air conditioning and pump load.
Gated communities
Following either the individual villa route where connections are separate, or the association route for common areas.
Elevated structures
Genuinely practical here and worth costing if you use your terrace.
Systems above 4 kW need three-phase
So the connection check happens at the survey rather than at inspection.
Commercial and industrial
Solar for Selaiyur businesses
Educational institutions
The distinguishing commercial segment. Term-time sizing, vacation installation windows, and the trust tax position where the institution is not a profit-making company.
Clinics and diagnostic centres
Daytime load matching generation, with equipment that makes power quality a legitimate question.
Retail and showrooms
Along the main roads. Evening-weighted, and roof rights first on leased premises.
Small offices and service businesses
Good daytime match and commercial tariffs.

The process
How installation works
Free site survey
Shade-free roof area measured across the day, structure checked, connection name and sanctioned load confirmed.
Design and itemised quotation
Sized against twelve months of consumption, with every component named.
Approvals filed
PM Surya Ghar and TANGEDCO net metering, plus load enhancement or phase conversion in parallel where needed.
Installation
One to three days for a residential system, carried out by our own team rather than subcontracted.
Inspection and commissioning
TANGEDCO inspects, both meters go in, the system goes live.
Subsidy tracked to your account
And two years of maintenance included from commissioning.
We check the name on your electricity connection at the survey, because a mismatch stops more applications than any technical issue. See what to keep ready.
Free, no obligation

Put off by the three phase conversion?
Filed alongside your net metering application the two run together. Filed separately it adds six weeks. We file them together as standard.
What happens after you send your details
- We call you within one working day, and an engineer rather than a salesperson attends the site.
- The survey is free. We measure usable area and shading, check your connection and sanctioned load, and photograph the site.
- You get an itemised quotation naming every component and brand, with the subsidy or depreciation position set out.
- No obligation at any point. If solar does not make sense for your property, we will say so.
Common questions
Solar in Selaiyur, common questions
Probably, if the system is 5 kW or larger, which is common here given the plot sizes. TANGEDCO supplies three-phase above 4,000 watts of connected load, and the conversion is a separate application that must complete before commissioning. Filed alongside the net metering application the two run in parallel; filed afterwards it roughly doubles the timeline.
Often yes, because plots here are large enough that the terrace is genuinely used. Raising the array to 9 feet keeps the space walkable and shaded, lets the array span above water tanks and headrooms, and improves generation because the panels run cooler. It costs more than a low mount and we state the difference before you decide.
Against term-time daytime load, not annual average. A campus generates most during the long vacation when it is closed, and institutions are non-domestic consumers on net feed-in rather than net metering, so that surplus sells back below what the campus pays for imports. Averaging across the year systematically oversizes the system.
Six to ten weeks from survey to a live, net-metered system, with TANGEDCO approval and meter installation the main variable. The installation itself is one to three days for a residential system, and longer for a commercial or industrial project.
Yes. We file the PM Surya Ghar application and the TANGEDCO net metering application, follow both through the section office, and track the subsidy to your bank account. We also check the name on your electricity connection at the survey, since a mismatch stops applications more often than any technical issue.
Two years of free maintenance from commissioning, covering panel cleaning, annual inspection of connections and structure, generation monitoring and warranty coordination with the manufacturer.
