Solar Panel Installation in Perumbakkam
Multi block complexes designed around your actual metering, not a single assumed connection
Perumbakkam is dominated by large multi-block apartment complexes, and that raises a question smaller societies never face: whether the whole complex takes one system or each block takes its own. Getting that decision right at the start saves considerable money later.

The local picture
One system or one per block
Perumbakkam’s apartment stock includes complexes with several blocks under a single association, and those complexes frequently have more than one TANGEDCO service connection, sometimes one per block. Because a solar system connects to a specific service connection and offsets consumption on that connection only, the design decision is whether to install one larger system on a single connection or separate systems across several.
What determines the answer
How many connections the complex actually has
Some multi-block complexes run all common services from one connection; others meter each block separately. This has to be established before design, not assumed.
Where the load sits
If lifts and pumps for all blocks run off one connection, a single larger system is simpler and cheaper per kW. If each block carries its own, separate systems match the load better.
Roof availability by block
Some blocks have clear terraces and others carry tanks, machine rooms or antennae, so capacity is rarely equal across blocks.
The subsidy ceiling
The common-area provision allows ₹18,000 per kW up to 500 kW, subject to 3 kW per residential unit across the complex. On a large complex that headroom is substantial and rarely the binding constraint.
Why it matters financially
Match the generation to where the load actually is
Installing one 40 kW system is cheaper per kW than four 10 kW systems, because mobilisation, design and approvals are largely fixed costs. But a single system that exports because it sits on a connection with modest load will earn feed-in rates rather than offsetting consumption, which wastes the advantage.
The other constraint
Large general bodies take longer
We prepare the load assessment and savings projection free, broken down by block where the metering warrants it, so the committee can put real figures to members.

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.

Several blocks and several meters?
Then one system may be cheaper per kW and still the wrong answer. We match generation to where the load actually sits before designing anything.
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 Perumbakkam, common questions
It depends on the metering. A solar system connects to one service connection and offsets consumption on that connection only, so if all common services run off a single connection, one larger system is cheaper per kW. If each block is metered separately, separate systems match the load better. We establish the connection position before design rather than assuming it.
Cheaper per kW, yes, because mobilisation, design and approvals are largely fixed costs. But if that system sits on a connection with modest load it will export rather than offset, earning feed-in rates well below the tariff. The saving only materialises where the generation matches where the load actually is.
₹18,000 per kW under the common-area provision, up to 500 kW and subject to 3 kW per residential unit across the complex. On a large complex that headroom is substantial and rarely the binding constraint, so roof area and load position usually decide the size instead.
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.
