Solar Panel Installation in Red Hills
Carports costed alongside roof arrays where you have more yard than usable roof
Where a property has more open yard than usable roof, the array does not have to go on the building. A carport or canopy structure over parking and yard space generates power, shades vehicles and stock, and sits at a height where cleaning is straightforward.

The local picture
When the array should go over the yard
On properties with substantial open yard or parking area, a solar carport or canopy structure is a genuine alternative to a rooftop array. The panels sit on a purpose-built structure over the yard rather than on the building, which frees the design from the roof’s shape, condition and orientation, and shades whatever is underneath.
Where a carport makes more sense than a roof array
The roof is unsuitable
Poor structural condition, heavy plant, skylights, or a sheet roof near the end of its life.
The roof is small relative to the yard
Common on warehousing, transport yards and larger residential plots.
Vehicles or stock benefit from shade
In Chennai’s heat that is a real benefit in its own right, quite apart from the electricity.
Cleaning and maintenance access matter
A carport is reached from a modest ladder rather than a roof, which in practice means it gets cleaned.
You want optimal tilt and orientation
Which a purpose-built structure allows and a roof does not.
What it costs
More than a rooftop array of the same capacity
Because you are building the structure as well as mounting panels on it. Foundations, columns and beams are real civil work. The trade is a better-performing array, easier maintenance and a shaded yard. Where it does not make sense: if you have a sound, clear, accessible roof with enough area, use it. A carport is the answer to a roof problem or a shading benefit, not a default.
Structurally
Foundations designed to the ground, and wind design that reflects an open canopy
Particularly on made-up or filled land. Wind loading on a canopy structure is significant since it presents a large area with open sides. Red Hills otherwise offers larger plots and layouts where standard rooftop installations are straightforward, typically 3 kW to 5 kW for households, with outer-circle approval timelines.

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.

Roof unsuitable or too small?
The array does not have to go on the building. A carport over your yard generates, shades vehicles and is far easier to clean.
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 Red Hills, common questions
Where the roof is unsuitable or small relative to your yard, yes. A carport frees the array from the roof’s shape, condition and orientation, allows optimal tilt, shades vehicles or stock, and is far easier to reach for cleaning. It costs more than a rooftop array of the same capacity because you are building the structure too.
When you have a sound, clear, accessible roof with enough area. A carport is the answer to a roof problem or a shading benefit, not a default. If the roof works, it is the cheaper route to the same capacity.
Foundations designed to the actual ground, particularly on made-up or filled land, and wind design that reflects the fact that a canopy presents a large area with open sides. Wind uplift on such a structure is significant and it needs designing rather than templating.
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.
