Solar Panel Installation in Poonamallee
Land on the plot means ground mount is a real option, with better tilt and easier cleaning
Poonamallee is still in transition from agricultural land to suburb, and that leaves many properties with something inner Chennai simply does not have: open land alongside the building. Where that exists, the roof stops being the only place a solar array can go.
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

Looking for a solar panel installation company in Poonamallee?
Blues Renewables is a solar panel installation company working in Poonamallee and across Chennai since 2020. We install rooftop solar for homes, apartments, businesses and industrial units, handle the PM Surya Ghar subsidy of up to ₹78,000 for households and the TANGEDCO net metering application end to end, and include two years of free maintenance with every installation.

The local picture
When there is land as well as roof
Poonamallee’s ongoing transition from agricultural land to residential and light industrial development means a significant number of properties hold open land alongside the built structure. That matters because ground-mounted solar is genuinely available here in a way it is not across most of Chennai, and a ground-mount array can be oriented and tilted optimally rather than following whatever angle the roof happens to be.
What that means in practice
The trade is land against convenience and generation
For a household with unused land at the side or rear, ground-mount is worth costing properly rather than assuming the roof is the only option. For a property where land has a better use, rooftop remains the answer.
Plot sizes support larger systems generally
Households here commonly install 4 kW to 6 kW, and above 4,000 watts of connected load TANGEDCO supplies three-phase, so a phase conversion is frequently part of the project and should be filed alongside the net metering application rather than after it.
Light industry along the bypass and highway approaches
Brings a different set of projects: sheet roofs where condition and remaining life determine the sequence, higher connected loads, and often an HT connection which changes both the metering and the economics.
Distance and service
Poonamallee sits at the outer edge of our regular working area, so the maintenance arrangement including response times should be agreed at the outset rather than after the first issue.

Residential
Solar for Poonamallee homes
Independent houses
On larger plots, typically installing 4 kW to 6 kW.
Properties with open land
Should have ground-mount costed alongside rooftop rather than assuming the roof is the only option.
New layouts
Benefit from planning generation and lighting in before completion.
Three-phase conversion
Common at these sizes, and filed alongside the net metering application.
Commercial and industrial
Solar for Poonamallee businesses
Light industry
Along the bypass and highway approaches. Sheet roofs, higher loads, and HT connections in some cases.
Warehousing and logistics
Large roof relative to load, so sizing to daytime self-consumption matters more than filling the roof.
Showrooms and retail
On the main roads. Evening-weighted, and roof rights first on leased premises.
Schools and institutions
Strong term-time daytime match.

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.

Assuming the roof is your only option?
Not here. If you have open land, ground mount is worth costing properly, and it generates better because the tilt is not fixed by your roof.
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 Poonamallee, common questions
It is worth costing properly, which is unusual for Chennai. Many properties here hold open land alongside the building, and a ground-mount array can be tilted and oriented optimally rather than following the roof angle, with far easier maintenance and cleaning access. The trade is that it occupies land and costs more due to foundations and civil work.
Frequently, since plot and consumption sizes here support systems of 5 kW and above, and TANGEDCO supplies three-phase above 4,000 watts of connected load. The conversion is a separate application that must complete before commissioning, so it should be filed alongside the net metering application to run in parallel.
Less than the roof size suggests, and that is the point. Warehousing typically has large roof area relative to a modest electrical load, and non-domestic consumers are generally on net feed-in rather than one-for-one net metering, so surplus exported earns well below the tariff paid on imports. Size to daytime self-consumption, not to available roof.
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.
