Solar Panel Installation in Navalur
Plan it in before construction finishes and it costs considerably less than retrofitting
Navalur is still being built, and that creates an opportunity most parts of Chennai no longer have. Decisions about lighting, common-area power and EV charging can be made before the infrastructure goes in rather than retrofitted afterwards, and doing it in that order costs considerably less.

Project record
The local picture
Building it in rather than retrofitting it
Navalur’s growth is recent and ongoing, with new layouts, gated communities and apartment complexes still being developed. For solar that changes the sequence: a layout or community planned with solar street lighting and common-area generation in mind avoids the trenching, cabling and metering costs that retrofitting later incurs, and the association inherits a lower running cost from day one rather than voting on it years afterwards.
For developers and layout promoters
Solar street lighting instead of conventional
Each pole carries its own panel and battery, so there is no cabling back to a distribution board, no meter, no connection application and no ongoing electricity bill for the lighting. On a new layout, avoiding the trenching and cable cost alone is significant. See solar street lights.
Plan it before the roads go in
Not after. Retrofitting lighting into a completed layout means cutting into finished surfaces.
Common-area generation designed in
So the association takes over a building with lower running costs rather than a proposal to reduce them.
Minimum project size is 50 units
For lighting, which most layouts of any scale exceed comfortably.
For gated communities and associations
Newer buildings
Generally have sound structural capacity, clear terraces and adequate sanctioned load, which makes installation straightforward.
Common-area systems
Claim ₹18,000 per kW up to 500 kW, covering lifts, pumps, STP, corridor and compound lighting and EV charging points.
Associations formed recently
Tend to decide faster than established ones, though a general body resolution is still required and remains the longest step.
EV charging
Should be planned alongside solar rather than as a separate later project, since the subsidy provision covers both.
For individual villa owners
Inside a gated community, the normal residential route applies
Individual roofs with individual connections follow the standard household path, though architectural control rules often apply and should be checked before committing to a design.
Areas we cover around Navalur: OMR frontage, Siruseri approach, Egattur, Padur border, Kelambakkam Road, the new layouts off the service road.

Residential
Solar for Navalur homes
Gated community villas
Typically install 3 kW to 6 kW on individual roofs and connections, subject to community architectural rules.
Apartment associations
Follow the common-area route, which is usually the better value at ₹18,000 per kW.
New layouts
Benefit most from planning solar in before construction completes rather than retrofitting.
Newer construction
Means fewer structural surprises and generally adequate sanctioned load.
Commercial and industrial
Solar for Navalur businesses
Navalur’s commercial base is developing alongside the residential build-out.
Developers and layout promoters
Solar street lighting for new layouts, plus common-area generation designed in from the start.
Educational institutions
Of which there are several in the surrounding stretch. Strong term-time daytime match, with the vacation affecting sizing.
Retail and food service
Serving the residential base. Evening-weighted, and roof rights on leased premises come first.
Offices
On the OMR frontage. Excellent daytime match and commercial tariffs.

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

Waiting until the layout is finished?
That is the expensive order. Solar street lighting needs no trenching or cabling, so planning it in before the roads go down avoids a cost you cannot recover later.
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 Navalur, common questions
It is worth costing properly, because the comparison is not just lighting against lighting. Solar street lights need no cabling back to a distribution board, no meter, no connection application and no ongoing electricity bill, so on a new layout you avoid trenching and cable cost as well. That saving rises with distance from the nearest supply point. Projects start from 50 units.
Before the roads and common areas are finished. Retrofitting lighting into a completed layout means cutting into finished surfaces, and retrofitting common-area generation means working around an occupied building. Planning it in means the association inherits lower running costs rather than being asked to vote on reducing them later.
₹18,000 per kW for common-area facilities, up to 500 kW and subject to 3 kW per residential unit, covering lifts, pumps, the STP, corridor and compound lighting and EV charging points. At 20 kW that is ₹3,60,000, considerably more per kW than the ₹78,000 an individual household is capped at.
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.
