The cut
Where the stair comes through the slab stays open. Covering it is not a larger plant.
Pammal · written price
The amount you pay stays on the solid concrete beside the stair opening. If you already own the panels and inverter, fitting starts at ₹3,000 per kW. A complete plant is priced after a free visit from Madipakkam.

The opening stays open
On the small plots between Pallavaram and Anakaputhur, the stair often comes up through a cut in the slab, in from the parapet, with the tank beside it. Covering that cut would block the way up. We mark the opening and the tank, then price the solid width that remains. The larger side, when it matches the daytime bill, is the plant. A short piece on the other side is used only if it is a row of its own. A rail that bridges the hole is not a layout we will sign. The roof itself is on panels for a Pammal home. What a panel rate leaves out is on solar panel prices in Pammal.
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.

Modules sit only on the unbroken slab. The rails stop at the edge of the hole.
The tank beside the opening stays, with room to reach the lid. It is not counted as array space.
Eligible homeowners can receive up to ₹78,000 with DCR modules and an approved file. Amount and approval follow current scheme rules. Compare the price after that assistance.
How to read the sheet
Ask whether the stair cut was left open, which side was counted, DCR or NDCR, what is excluded, and who files the net meter and the subsidy. Independent houses on these small plots are the usual fit, whether the stair cuts the slab or the roof is one solid piece. A flat cannot claim the common roof of a large block. A balcony is not a mounting place.
How any Chennai quote should be lined up is on panel and price. NDCR against DCR is in that guide. Two slabs at two heights are the Chromepet price.

No. The cut stays open. A rail that bridges the hole is not a layout we will sign.
No. One solid slab is a normal terrace. The tank stays, and a walkway stays.
DCR modules keep the path to up to ₹78,000 open. A cheaper NDCR module can cost more once that assistance is given up. Ask who files the papers.
