The mast gap
A technician has to be able to walk the base. Glass is not laid across the mast.

The crew keeps a service gap around the mast and leaves the tanks. If you already own the panels and inverter, fitting starts at ₹3,000 per kW. A complete plant is drawn after a free visit from Madipakkam.

What is already up there
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. The crew keeps a gap a technician can walk, and does 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. The roof itself is on panels for a Perungudi home. Where a panel is fixed is on solar panel installation in Perungudi.
Labour from ₹3,000 per kW covers civil work, mounting, wiring, testing, and commissioning when the modules and inverter are already yours. Cables and structure steel stay outside that rate. The scope is on installation services.

On a house toward the lake, tanks grouped in the sun stay where they are. The row uses what remains.
Air-conditioner units stay reachable. A gap that looks empty in a photo may be the service path.
Eligible homeowners can receive up to ₹78,000 with DCR modules and an approved file. Amount and approval follow current scheme rules. The row is still drawn only where the roof stays clear.
How to read the job
Ask whether a walk gap was left around the mast and the tanks were not shifted. Labour from ₹3,000 per kW is fitting only, when the modules and inverter are already yours. A complete plant is drawn after the visit. An owner on the older streets can decide alone. A flat on Old Mahabalipuram Road uses a common terrace only after that use is in writing, and only if the mast and the air conditioners can still be serviced. A balcony over the road is not a mounting place.
The figure is on solar panels and prices in Perungudi. How any Chennai quote should be lined up is on panel and price. A park line or a workshop shed is the Guindy installation.
