Solar Panel Installation in Thirumazhisai
Skylights and purlins surveyed, so the quote reflects the roof you actually have
Industrial and warehouse roofs here are almost all profiled sheet, and most of them carry translucent skylight panels. Those skylights cannot be built over, and where they sit determines how much of the roof is genuinely available.
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

The local picture
Skylights, and the roof you actually have
Most industrial and warehouse buildings use profiled sheet roofing with translucent skylight panels set into it at intervals to provide daylight inside. Those panels cannot carry a solar array and cannot be covered, since covering them defeats their purpose and darkens the working space below. On a roof with regularly spaced skylights, the genuinely usable area for solar can be substantially less than the roof plan suggests.
What the roof survey establishes
Skylight positions and spacing
And how much contiguous sheet area remains between them.
Whether the array can span skylights
On a raised structure without shading them. Sometimes it can, provided the daylight below remains adequate, and sometimes the shading defeats the purpose.
Purlin positions and spacing
Which determine where the mounting can actually fix. Fixings go into structure, not into sheeting.
Sheet condition and remaining life
Which decides whether the roof is dealt with before or after the array, along with roof slope and orientation, since a sheet roof array follows the roof plane.
The daylight trade-off is worth taking seriously
Skylights reduce daytime lighting load, which is itself a saving
Covering them to gain array area can increase artificial lighting consumption, partly offsetting what the extra panels generate. On a building with substantial daytime occupancy that is a real calculation rather than a theoretical one.
The commercial rules apply as everywhere
Size to daytime self-consumption
Non-domestic consumers are generally on net feed-in rather than one-for-one net metering, so exported units earn well below what the unit pays on imports. Solar reduces the energy charge, not the demand charge, which is levied on contract or recorded maximum demand.

Residential
Solar for Thirumazhisai homes
Independent houses on layout plots
Typically install 3 kW to 5 kW.
Larger plots
Make elevated structures practical where the terrace is used.
Outer-circle approval timelines
Apply, so applications are filed in parallel.
Apartment blocks
Follow the association route for common-area systems.
Commercial and industrial
Solar for Thirumazhisai businesses
Industrial and warehouse units
Sheet roofs with skylights, where usable area needs surveying rather than estimating.
Logistics operations on the corridor
Large roof relative to load, so sizing to self-consumption matters.
Small manufacturing
Modest roofs, commercial tariffs, and depreciation subject to taxable profit.
Retail and service businesses
On the main roads.
What we install

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.

Quoted from a roof plan?
On a sheet roof with skylights the usable area is well under the plan area. We survey the roof before pricing anything.
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 Thirumazhisai, common questions
Usually yes, and sometimes substantially. Translucent skylight panels cannot carry an array and covering them darkens the space below. On a roof with regularly spaced skylights the genuinely usable contiguous area can be well under what the roof plan suggests, which is why the survey measures rather than estimates.
Sometimes, on a raised structure that spans them without fully shading them, provided daylight below remains adequate. But skylights reduce daytime lighting load, which is itself a saving, so covering them can increase artificial lighting consumption and partly offset what the extra panels generate. It is a real calculation on an occupied building.
Into the purlins, which are the structural members beneath the sheeting, not into the sheets themselves. Purlin spacing and section therefore determine where fixings can go and how the array is laid out, alongside the skylight positions. That is established at the roof survey.
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.
