The local picture
Should you lease your roof to a solar developer?
Building owners with substantial roof area are frequently approached with proposals to lease that roof to a solar developer, who installs and owns a system and either sells the power to the building’s occupants or exports it. It is a legitimate arrangement, but the roof owner is granting rights over their building for fifteen to twenty-five years and the terms deserve proper scrutiny.
What a roof owner should establish before signing
What exactly is being granted
And over how much of the roof. Exclusive use of the whole terrace is a very different grant from a defined area.
Access rights
The developer will need access for maintenance for the life of the agreement. Hours, notice periods and escorting arrangements should be documented.
Responsibility for the roof itself
Who repairs waterproofing damaged during installation or maintenance, and what happens when the roof membrane reaches the end of its life while an array sits on it.
What you receive
Whether rent, a discounted tariff for the building’s own consumption, or a share of generation. A discounted tariff is only valuable if the building actually consumes the output.
End of term
Does the system transfer to you, get removed, or continue under a new agreement, and who pays for removal and reinstatement.
Your own future use of the roof
Granting it for twenty-five years forecloses other uses, including your own solar installation, telecom leasing, or building alterations, and change of ownership provisions affect saleability.
The alternative worth comparing
If the building consumes daytime power itself, owning usually returns more
You capture the full value of every unit rather than a share of it, and accelerated depreciation and GST input credit strengthen that further for a profitable entity. We are happy to look at a roof lease proposal you have received and tell you how it compares to owning, whether or not the work comes to us.

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

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.

- No obligation at any point. If solar does not make sense for your property, we will say so.
Common questions
Solar in Ramapuram, common questions
It can be reasonable, but read the terms carefully. You are granting rights over your building for fifteen to twenty-five years. Establish what area is granted, the access rights, who is responsible for roof waterproofing, what you actually receive, what happens at end of term, and whether the agreement binds a future purchaser of the building.
If your building consumes substantial daytime power itself, owning usually returns more, because you capture the full value of every unit rather than a share of it. Accelerated depreciation and GST input credit strengthen that further for a profitable entity. Leasing suits owners who do not consume the output and want no capital outlay.
It can. A twenty-five year agreement over the roof is something a purchaser inherits, and whether it binds them should be explicit in the terms. It also forecloses your own future use of that roof, including telecom leasing or your own solar installation. Both are worth weighing before signing.
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.
