Solar panels for your home in Alandur.

Some terraces face GST Road and pick up a dark film from buses and trucks. Others sit on interior streets, where a high parapet can shade the glass in the morning. ZeroEB marks which of those two you have. The visit starts from Madipakkam and is free.

On the GST Road side the glass dulls faster than on a quiet lane. The row keeps a path, and there has to be a way up to it, because someone will need to wash the modules. That wash is a later visit. The film comes back, so the path cannot be blocked by a second row.

Inland from the highway, older houses often carry a tall parapet. Modules set against it lose the morning sun. We leave that band empty, or we keep the frame above the shadow. The tank stays where it is. City-wide module choice is on panels for a Chennai home. A single row on a tight plot is the Adambakkam case. Here the split is traffic film against parapet shade.

Roofs facing GST Road are quoted with washing in mind. Output falls when that film is left on the glass.

A full plant for a Chennai home is described on the solar installation page. The visit is free, and nothing is ordered until you ask. The desk is open monday to saturday, 9:00 am – 7:00 pm.
