Solar Panel Installation in Tambaram
Larger plots here take 5 kW to 8 kW, cutting ₹4,000 to ₹7,000 a month
Tambaram has the plot sizes Chennai’s inner suburbs lost decades ago. Independent houses with genuine terrace area, room for elevated structures, and consumption to match. It is also a commercial centre in its own right, which means a solar enquiry here is as likely to come from a showroom or a clinic as from a household.

The local picture
Larger plots, larger systems, and the three-phase question
Tambaram, Selaiyur and the surrounding suburbs have significantly larger residential plots than most of central Chennai, which means larger usable terraces and systems that commonly run 5 kW and above. That size threshold matters procedurally: TANGEDCO supplies three-phase above 4,000 watts of connected load, so most Tambaram installations involve either an existing three-phase connection or a phase conversion.
What that means for your timeline
Phase conversion is a separate TANGEDCO application
And it must be complete before the solar system can be commissioned.
Filed alongside the net metering application, the two run in parallel
Filed afterwards, a six-week project becomes twelve. We check your connection at the survey specifically to avoid this.
Sanctioned load enhancement
Is often needed too, for the same reason and with the same fix.
Outlying areas
Properties toward Mudichur, Perungalathur and Vandalur are further from both the coast and the metro. Standard specification is generally adequate, and access for installation is usually straightforward.
The second Tambaram factor
Space makes elevated structures genuinely practical
Larger terraces mean households that use the space for drying, storage or functions can keep it. Raising the array up to 9 feet leaves the space walkable and shaded, and it improves generation by letting air move under the panels.

Residential
Solar for Tambaram homes
Independent houses
The majority here, typically installing 4 kW to 8 kW depending on air conditioning and pump load.
Elevated structures
More practical here than in tighter localities, and worth costing if you use your terrace.
Gated communities
In Selaiyur and toward Medavakkam, following the association route for common areas, or individual roofs where villas have their own connections.
Commercial
Solar for Tambaram businesses
Tambaram is a commercial centre serving the whole southern suburb belt: showrooms along the GST Road and station approaches, hospitals and clinics, colleges, and light industry toward the outskirts.
Showrooms and retail
Evening trading, so solar covers the daytime portion, and roof rights on leased frontage need checking.
Hospitals and clinics
Continuous load, with solar sitting alongside existing DG and UPS rather than replacing them.
Colleges and schools
Strong daytime match, with vacation periods affecting how a campus should be sized.
Light industry
Sheet roofs, higher connected loads, and often an HT connection, which changes the economics and the design.

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

Put off by the three phase conversion?
We file it alongside your net metering application so the two run in parallel. Filed separately it adds six weeks. Filed together it adds almost nothing.
What happens after you send your details
- We call you within one working day, and an engineer rather than a salesperson comes to the site.
- The survey is free and takes under an hour. We measure shade free area across the day, check your connection name and sanctioned load, and photograph the roof.
- You get an itemised quotation naming every component and brand, the subsidy applied, and the net figure.
- No obligation at any point. If solar does not make sense for your property, we will say so.
Common questions
Solar in Tambaram, common questions
Probably, if the system is 5 kW or larger. TANGEDCO supplies three-phase above 4,000 watts of connected load, and Tambaram’s larger plots mean larger systems. The phase conversion is a separate application that must complete before commissioning, so it should be filed alongside the net metering application rather than after it.
Often yes, because plots here are large enough that the terrace is genuinely used. Raising the array up to 9 feet keeps the space walkable and shaded underneath, lets the array span above water tanks and headrooms, and improves generation because the panels run cooler with airflow beneath them. It costs more than a low mount, and we state the difference before you decide.
Yes. Those areas are straightforward for installation, generally with good access and larger plots. Standard specification is adequate that far inland, without the coastal hardware required nearer the sea.
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.
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.
