Solar Panel Installation in Ekkattuthangal
Load profile and shift pattern first, because they decide the size more than your roof does
Two units in Ekkattuthangal with identical roofs and identical bills can get very different results from the same solar system. What separates them is when they run, and that is the first thing an audit here establishes.

The local picture
Your shift pattern decides the answer
Solar generates for roughly five effective hours around midday. For a small industrial or commercial unit, how much of that generation is actually consumed on site depends entirely on the shift pattern, and because non-domestic consumers are generally on net feed-in rather than one-for-one net metering, generation exported rather than consumed earns well below what the unit pays on imports.
What an audit establishes, before any roof is measured
The weekend point is worth dwelling on
A unit closed on Sundays exports a full day of generation every week at feed-in rates rather than offsetting consumption. Over a year that is a meaningful share of total output earning a fraction of its value, and any proposal that models annual generation against annual consumption without accounting for it is overstating the return.
Your operating pattern and tariff category
Shift pattern, weekly operating days, load profile through the day, and the split between energy charges and demand charges on your bill. Only then does system size follow.
Solar does not reduce demand charges
They are levied on contract or recorded maximum demand and can peak at a shift change or on a cloudy afternoon. On a small industrial connection that is a real part of the bill and a credible proposal models it.
The roofs here are mixed
Older sheet-roofed units alongside RCC commercial buildings. Sheet condition and remaining life determine the sequence on the former; usable area after plant determines it on the latter.

Residential
Solar for Ekkattuthangal homes
Residential stock around the estate is limited and secondary.
Independent houses
Typically install 2 kW to 4 kW.
Dust from surrounding industrial activity
Raises cleaning frequency.
Apartment blocks
Follow the association route for common-area systems.
Commercial and industrial
Solar for Ekkattuthangal businesses
Small industrial units
The core market, where shift pattern determines what solar can offset.
Commercial and office buildings
Better daytime match than multi-shift industry.
Workshops and service units
Modest loads, but commercial tariffs make each displaced unit worth more.
Warehousing
Large roof relative to load, so sizing to self-consumption matters more than filling the roof.

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.

Closed on Sundays?
Then a full day of generation exports at feed in rates every week. Any proposal ignoring that is overstating your return.
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 Ekkattuthangal, common questions
Considerably. Solar generates for roughly five effective hours around midday, so a single day shift consumes most of the generation on site, while a round-the-clock operation has substantial load outside generating hours. Since non-domestic consumers are generally on net feed-in, exported generation earns well below what you pay on imports.
Yes, and it is often overlooked. A unit closed one day a week exports a full day of generation at feed-in rates rather than offsetting consumption, and over a year that is a meaningful share of output earning a fraction of its value. Any proposal modelling annual generation against annual consumption without accounting for it overstates the return.
No. Demand charges are levied on contract or recorded maximum demand, which can peak at a shift change or on a cloudy afternoon regardless of what the array is doing. Solar reduces the energy charge on units generated during daylight hours, which on a commercial tariff is still a substantial saving.
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.
