Solar Panel Installation in Aminjikarai
We look at your actual common area bill before proposing a society system
Many of Aminjikarai’s apartment buildings are walk-ups with no lift, and that changes the solar arithmetic completely. Without a lift, the common-area load is small, which means the usual society solar proposal has very little to offset.

The local picture
When your building has no lift
Common-area solar for an apartment building is normally justified by lift and pump consumption, which together make up most of what a society pays for. In a walk-up building with no lift, that load largely disappears. What remains is corridor and compound lighting and a water pump, which on a small block can be a very modest bill, and a solar system sized to it will be correspondingly small.
What that means honestly
The society system may not be worth the process
If common-area consumption is genuinely small, the effort of a general body resolution, an application and an installation may exceed the benefit, and we will say so rather than pushing it through.
The pump is usually the main load
Where a building relies on a borewell or a booster pump running daily, that is a daylight load and worth offsetting even in a small building.
Corridor and compound lighting runs at night
So solar offsets it only through net metering credit rather than direct consumption.
Check the actual common-area bill first
We will look at it before proposing anything, because the number determines whether there is a project.
Sometimes the better route
In a walk-up building, individual may beat collective
Where a building is small, older and its terrace ownership is clear or divisible, some societies allow individual owners to install for their own flats under an agreed arrangement. That is not the standard route and it requires the association’s written agreement, but it puts the saving where the consumption actually is.
The rest of Aminjikarai
Dense plots and staged construction
Independent houses follow the standard route, typically 3 kW to 5 kW, with dense plots meaning usable area needs measuring rather than estimating. Older stock may have staged construction, so array loading is assessed against the whole structure rather than the newest slab.

No lift in your building?
Then the common load may be too small to justify the process, and we will tell you rather than pushing a system through a general body.

- 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 Aminjikarai, common questions
Possibly not, and we will tell you honestly. Common-area solar is normally justified by lift and pump consumption, and without a lift the remaining load is corridor lighting and a pump, which on a small block can be a very modest bill. We look at the actual common-area bill before proposing anything.
Usually the water pump, particularly where the building relies on a borewell or booster pump running daily. That is a daylight load and worth offsetting. Corridor and compound lighting runs at night, so solar covers it only through net metering credit rather than direct consumption.
Sometimes, with the association’s written agreement, where the terrace ownership is clear or divisible. It is not the standard route and needs proper documentation, but in a small walk-up building it can put the saving where the consumption actually is. We will explain what would be required.
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.
