Residential solar · Chennai & Madipakkam

A lid in the setback

Solar panels for your home in Avadi.

Where a pump-room lid sits in the setback, well below the terrace, that lid is not counted. Rails do not step down to it. The visit from Madipakkam is free.

The lid in the setback

The terrace, not the pump room.

The lid is well below the terrace. Rails do not step down to it. A house with no pump room in the setback is an ordinary survey.

A well-room roof that meets the rear parapet is the Virugambakkam case. A parking roof a full storey below is the Manapakkam case. A shared bay in the quarters is the Madhavaram case. Overhead wires along the tracks are the Tambaram case. A lower roof because the ground falls is the Red Hills case. A flat that cannot take a common roof is the Sholinganallur case. City-wide module choice is on panels for a Chennai home.

Marked before a count

Four checks on a pump room.

01

Where the lid sits

We mark it before any row is drawn.

02

The lid stays below

It is not counted, and rails do not step down to it.

03

Tank and walkway

Both stay. The row uses the terrace.

04

DCR

Central assistance needs cells and modules made in India. Eligible homes can receive up to ₹78,000. The amount follows the scheme on the day you apply.

Who it suits

A house with a pump room in the setback.

Houses where that lid is well below the terrace are the usual fit, when the terrace is in that household's name. A flat in a large block cannot claim the common roof. A house with no pump room is an ordinary survey unless another limit on these pages applies.

How the row is fixed once the lid is marked is on solar panel installation. Modules you already hold are labour from ₹3,000 per kW, materials excluded, on installation services. The Avadi figure is on solar panels and prices in Avadi. How the crew sets the row is on solar panels and installation in Avadi. The subsidy gap is on panel and price. NDCR against DCR is in that guide before an import is confirmed.

Show the pump room, if one stands in the setback

The terrace, then the row.

Do you visit Avadi from Madipakkam?

Yes. The roof visit is free. A recent bill and a photo of the pump room, if one stands in the setback, are enough to start. No modules are ordered that day.

Can the rails step down onto the pump-room lid?

No. That lid is far below the terrace. It is not counted.

There is no pump room. Does the same limit apply?

No. A house with no pump room in the setback is a normal survey. The tank stays, and a walkway stays.

Do subsidy plants need DCR modules?

Yes. Cells and modules must be made in India. Eligible homes can receive up to ₹78,000, subject to the scheme on the day you apply. NDCR is only if that assistance has already been given up.

Send a photo of the pump room, if one stands in the setback.

A free visit from Madipakkam. We keep the row on the terrace, and note whether the plant should be DCR.
