The local picture
Big roofs, many tenants, one question
Large market and commercial complexes have substantial uninterrupted roof area, which makes them technically excellent solar sites. What makes them complicated is the ownership and consumption structure: the roof typically belongs to the complex owner or managing body, while electricity is consumed and paid for by hundreds of individual tenants on separate connections, plus a common services connection for lighting, pumps and lifts.
Where the workable project usually is
The common services connection
Lighting, water pumping, lifts, cold rooms and the sewage plant sit on a connection held by the managing body, which also owns the roof. Owner and consumer are the same party, so there is no split incentive, and this is almost always where a complex should start.
The scale is often significant
Common services in a large complex can be a substantial load in its own right, quite apart from the tenants.
Where it gets harder
Individual tenant connections
A rooftop system connects to one service connection and offsets that connection only. Serving hundreds of separate tenant meters from one array is not something rooftop solar and net metering are built to do.
Splitting benefit among tenants
Requires a structure the electricity arrangement does not naturally provide, and any proposal claiming to reduce every trader’s bill from a single rooftop array should be examined carefully.
The honest advice to a complex owner
Size against the common services load, not total consumption or available roof
That produces a smaller system than the roof could carry, but one where every generated unit offsets consumption at full tariff rather than being exported at feed-in rates. Where the roof exceeds the common load substantially, leasing surplus roof area to a developer is worth evaluating, and we set out how to assess such a proposal rather than encouraging or discouraging it.
Among the better loads here
Cold storage and refrigeration
They run continuously through daylight hours, which is exactly when the array generates.

- No obligation at any point. If solar does not make sense for your property, we will say so.
Common questions
Solar in Koyambedu, common questions
No. A rooftop system connects to a single service connection and offsets consumption on that connection only. Serving hundreds of separate tenant meters from one array is not something rooftop solar and net metering are designed to do, and any proposal claiming otherwise should be examined carefully.
On the common services connection, covering lighting, water pumping, lifts, cold rooms and the sewage plant. The managing body owns both the roof and that connection, so owner and consumer are the same party and there is no split incentive. In a large complex that load is substantial in its own right.
Size to the common services load first, so every generated unit offsets consumption at full tariff rather than exporting at feed-in rates. Where substantial roof remains, leasing that area to a solar developer is worth evaluating, and we will help you assess such a proposal on its terms.
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.
