Solar Panel Installation in Perambur
We establish whether you can install before anyone visits, which saves everyone a wasted survey
Perambur has a large stock of institutional and railway housing alongside its private residential streets, and the two work very differently for solar. In one, you decide. In the other, you almost certainly do not own the roof you are standing on.
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

Project record
The local picture
Institutional housing and who controls the roof
A substantial share of Perambur’s housing is institutional, including railway quarters and colony accommodation associated with the workshops. Occupants of institutional housing do not own the building and cannot install a rooftop system on it, since a solar installation requires documented rights to the roof and is tied to a service connection held in the applicant’s name.
Where you stand depends on which Perambur you are in
Institutional or colony housing
Installation is a decision for the owning organisation, not the occupant. If solar interests you, it is a proposal to make through whatever channel your accommodation is administered by, not a project you can commission.
Privately owned independent houses
The standard residential route applies, typically 3 kW to 5 kW.
Private apartment blocks
The association route for common-area systems, claiming ₹18,000 per kW.
Older properties divided between family members
Roof ownership and consent need settling before design, as in much of older north Chennai.
We establish this in the first conversation
It determines whether there is a project at all
That is a far better conversation to have before anyone visits than after a survey and a quotation.
For the private stock
Perambur is dense, and staged construction is common
Plots are close together, buildings share walls in places, and usable shade-free roof area is routinely below the terrace measurement, so shading needs measuring across the day. Older properties frequently have floors and terrace sections added over the years at different times, which affects where an array can be anchored. Sanctioned load on older connections is often lower than current consumption, so an enhancement is commonly required.

Residential
Solar for Perambur homes
Privately owned independent houses
Typically install 3 kW to 5 kW once usable area is measured properly.
Institutional and colony housing
Not a route open to occupants, and we will say so plainly rather than surveying.
Apartment blocks
Follow the association route for common-area systems.
Sanctioned load enhancement
Common on older connections.
Commercial and industrial
Solar for Perambur businesses
Shops and retail
Along the main roads. Evening-weighted, usually leased, and often in multi-occupant buildings.
Small workshops and service units
Modest loads, but a commercial tariff makes each displaced unit worth more.
Schools and institutions
Strong term-time daytime match.
Clinics and practices
Good daytime load and commercial tariffs.
What we install
What we install in Perambur
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

Living in quarters or colony housing?
Then the decision is not yours to make, and we will say so in the first call rather than sending someone out.
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 Perambur, common questions
Not as an occupant. A rooftop system requires documented rights to the roof and is tied to a service connection in the applicant’s name, and institutional housing is owned by the organisation rather than the resident. Installation would be a decision for the owning body, so it is a proposal to make through your accommodation channel rather than a project you can commission.
Typically 3 kW to 5 kW, though usable shade-free area is routinely below the terrace measurement here. Plots are close together and neighbouring parapets and stair blocks shade sections of roof through parts of the day, so we measure shading across the day rather than at the moment of the visit.
It affects where the array can be anchored and how the loading is assessed. Floors and terrace sections added at different times may have different slab thickness and capacity, so the structure is assessed as a whole rather than only where the panels will sit. This is common in older Perambur properties.
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.
