Solar Panel Installation in Washermanpet
Feasibility approval first, always, before a single panel is ordered
There is a constraint on rooftop solar that has nothing to do with your roof, your budget or your consumption: how much solar the local distribution transformer serving your street can already absorb. In dense areas it occasionally becomes the deciding factor.

Project record
The local picture
When the local transformer is the constraint
Rooftop solar systems export surplus power back into the low-voltage network, and the distribution transformer serving a locality can only accept so much before network stability becomes a concern. TANGEDCO assesses this as part of the feasibility stage, and where a transformer is already carrying substantial connected solar, a new application may be limited in capacity or require network work before it can proceed.
How this shows up in practice
At the feasibility stage
Which is why nothing should be installed before approval is granted. TANGEDCO assesses the connection and the local network together.
As a capacity limit rather than a refusal
In most cases. You may be approved for less than you applied for rather than turned down entirely.
More often in dense localities
With many small connections on one transformer, and in areas where adoption has already been strong.
Rarely at small system sizes
For a 2 kW or 3 kW residential system this is seldom the binding constraint, and for systems up to 3 kW the feasibility process is waived entirely.
What it means for you
Apply before you commit to equipment
Treat feasibility approval as the point at which the project becomes real. An installer who wants to order panels before approval has the sequence wrong, and the risk falls on you. If capacity is constrained on your feeder, the options are installing a smaller system that fits within what is available, or waiting for network reinforcement, which is TANGEDCO’s decision rather than yours. We will tell you what the approval says rather than interpreting it optimistically.
The usual constraints alongside
Washermanpet’s density
Tight plots, buildings sharing walls, usable shade-free area well below terrace measurement, and narrow lanes affecting material handling. Systems typically run 2 kW to 3 kW, which is also the range least likely to encounter a network limit. Small industrial and workshop units follow the commercial route with commercial tariffs and no subsidy.

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.

Asked to pay a deposit before approval?
That puts the risk on you. Feasibility confirms your connection and the local network can take it, and it comes first.
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 Washermanpet, common questions
It can. Rooftop systems export into the low-voltage network, and a distribution transformer can only absorb so much connected solar before stability becomes a concern. TANGEDCO assesses this at feasibility, and where a feeder is already heavily loaded with solar, an application may be approved for less capacity than requested.
No, and any installer suggesting otherwise has the sequence wrong. Feasibility approval is the point at which the project becomes real, because it confirms both your connection and the local network can support the proposed system. Ordering before that puts the risk on you.
Rarely. Network capacity is seldom the binding constraint at 2 kW or 3 kW, and for systems up to 3 kW the feasibility process is waived entirely. It becomes a more realistic consideration at larger sizes and in localities where adoption has already been strong.
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.
