Solar Panel Installation in Vandalur
Campus connections mapped before design, because scattered buildings mean several projects
Vandalur’s institutional sites are spread out rather than stacked up. Buildings scattered across large grounds, sometimes with separate electricity connections, which makes campus solar here a different design problem from a single large roof.
Installing across Chennai since 2020
Two years free maintenance included
Subsidy and TANGEDCO paperwork filed by us
Free site survey and energy audit, no obligation

The local picture
Campuses with scattered buildings
Institutional properties in Vandalur tend to occupy large grounds with multiple separate buildings rather than one consolidated block. That changes campus solar design considerably, because a system connects to a specific service connection and offsets consumption on that connection only. A campus with several connections across several buildings is several projects, not one.
What has to be established first
How many service connections the site has
And which buildings sit on each. On older institutional sites this is frequently undocumented and worth mapping properly.
Where the load actually is
Administrative buildings, workshops, hostels and pumping stations consume very differently, and the generation should sit where the consumption does.
Which roofs are usable
Scattered buildings mean varying roof types, ages and structural conditions across one site.
Whether ground-mount is available
Institutional sites with open grounds often have space for a ground-mounted array, which can be sized to a connection’s load without being constrained by a particular building’s roof.
Genuinely worth considering on these sites
Ground-mount
Tilt and orientation can be optimal rather than following a roof, maintenance and cleaning access is at ground level, and capacity is not limited by any single building. The trade is that it occupies land and costs more in foundations and civil work.
The tax position applies as with all institutions
Depreciation is worth nothing without taxable income
Where the entity is a trust or society, an OPEX structure often compares better than ownership. That should be checked with the institution’s auditor before evaluating any proposal.

What we install
What we install in Vandalur
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

Campus spread across several buildings?
Then it is several projects, not one. We map the connections and put the generation where the consumption actually is before designing anything.
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 Vandalur, common questions
By mapping the service connections first. A system connects to one connection and offsets consumption on that connection only, so a campus with several connections across several buildings is several projects. On older institutional sites the connection map is frequently undocumented and worth establishing properly before design.
Often, where there is open ground. Tilt and orientation can be optimal rather than following a roof, cleaning and maintenance access is at ground level, and capacity is not limited by any single building’s roof. The trade is that it occupies land and costs more in foundations and civil work.
Only with taxable income to offset. Most operate as trusts or societies, so depreciation is worth nothing to them and an OPEX or RESCO structure often compares better than ownership. Check with the institution’s auditor before evaluating any proposal.
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.
