Solar Panel Installation in Keelkattalai
We check your sanctioned load first, because here it usually caps the system before the roof does
In Keelkattalai the limit on your solar system is more often your electricity connection than your roof. Many houses here were connected decades ago at a sanctioned load that made sense then, and have added air conditioning since without ever revisiting it.
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
When the connection caps the system, not the roof
Your solar system capacity cannot exceed the sanctioned load on your electricity connection. In Keelkattalai a large share of properties hold connections set decades ago, at sanctioned loads reflecting the household of that time, and consumption has grown considerably since with air conditioning, pumps and modern appliances. The practical consequence is that the connection frequently caps the system well before the roof does.
What that means in practice
Check your sanctioned load before anything else
It is printed on your electricity bill, and it is the number that determines your ceiling.
A load enhancement is a separate TANGEDCO 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 this at the survey specifically to avoid it.
Above 4,000 watts of connected load, supply moves to three-phase
So an enhancement past that threshold brings a phase conversion with it.
The single most common avoidable delay we see here
Entirely fixable if identified at the start
Rather than discovered at feasibility stage. Beyond the connection, Keelkattalai is a mixed picture: the older streets have dense plots with close neighbours and usable roof area below terrace measurement, while newer apartment development on the fringes has sound structure, clear terraces and generally adequate sanctioned load from the outset. Systems here typically run 3 kW to 5 kW where the connection supports it.

How installation works
Free site survey
Shade-free roof area measured across the day, structure checked, connection name and sanctioned load confirmed.

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.

Assuming your roof size decides your system size?
Here it usually does not. An old connection sanctioned decades ago is the more common ceiling, and it is fixable.
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 Keelkattalai, common questions
Because your solar system capacity cannot exceed the sanctioned load on your connection, and a large share of properties here hold connections set decades ago at loads reflecting a much smaller household. Consumption has grown with air conditioning and pumps, so the connection frequently caps the system well before the roof does.
It is printed on your electricity bill. That figure is your ceiling, and it is worth checking before anything else. If it is lower than the system you want, an enhancement is a separate TANGEDCO application which must complete before commissioning.
Only if it is filed after the net metering application. Filed alongside, the two run in parallel and add almost nothing. Filed afterwards, a six-week project becomes twelve. We check your connection at the survey specifically to avoid that, and above 4,000 watts of connected load the enhancement also brings a three-phase conversion with it.
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.
