Solar panels for your home in Perungudi.

Perungudi blocks on OMR, and the house streets

On many blocks along Old Mahabalipuram Road the terrace already carries a telecom mast, outdoor air conditioners, or both. Modules stop short of that equipment and of the shadow it casts. Toward the lake, older houses often keep a cluster of tanks in the sunny corner. Those stay. The visit is from Madipakkam and is free.

A mast is not a water tank. It has cables, a base, and a shadow that moves a little through the day but never leaves the terrace. We keep a gap a technician can walk, and we do not lay glass across that metal. Outdoor units of the air conditioners stay reachable too. A gap that looks empty in a photo may be the only way to service them.

Off the highway, toward Perungudi lake, the roof is more often a house. Extra floors usually mean several tanks grouped where the sun is best. They are not shifted to make a prettier row. Modules take the slab that remains, and only if that patch is worth using. City-wide module choice is on panels for a Chennai home. A park tree line or a workshop shed is the Guindy case. Here the obstacle is equipment the building already needs.

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.
