The tile slope
The old Mangalore-tile roof is left as it is. It is not added to the module count.
Camp Road and the lanes by Selaiyur lake
Solar panels for your home in Selaiyur.
Many houses here still keep the old tile roof over the rear rooms. A concrete terrace was added only over the front. Modules go on that concrete. The tile slope is left alone. The visit from Madipakkam is free.
Two roofs, one of them unused
The concrete, not the tiles.
The tile slope is the old house. Screwing rails through it is not a repair we will start. We mark where the concrete terrace begins and ends, leave a walkway, and see whether a straight row still matches the daytime bill. If the concrete patch is only a narrow strip, that strip is the plant, or we say it is too small. A house whose whole roof is already concrete is an ordinary terrace. The tank stays, and a walkway stays.
Two concrete slabs at two heights are the Chromepet case. A parapet that is still being raised is the Perungalathur case. If the lane floods when the lake rises, delivery waits, and that is the Keelkattalai case. Railway wires beside the station are the Tambaram case. City-wide module choice is on panels for a Chennai home.

The concrete
The later terrace is the only mounting place. The row stops where that slab stops.

A full concrete roof
If there is no tile slope left, the survey is ordinary. The tank and a walkway stay.

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 its own terrace.
Independent houses along Camp Road and in the lanes by the lake are the usual fit, whether the rear is still tile or the roof is all concrete. A flat cannot claim the common roof of a large block. That limit is the Sholinganallur page.
How the row is fixed once the concrete edge is marked is on solar panel installation. Modules you already hold are labour from ₹3,000 per kW, materials excluded, on installation services. The Selaiyur figure is on solar panels and prices in Selaiyur. How the crew sets the row is on solar panels and installation in Selaiyur. The subsidy gap is on panel and price. NDCR against DCR is in that guide before an import is confirmed.
Show both roofs if both are there
The tiles, then the concrete.
Do you visit Selaiyur from Madipakkam?
Yes. The roof visit is free. A recent bill and a photo of the concrete terrace and any tile roof beside it are enough to start. No modules are ordered that day.
The rear of the house is still a tile roof. Can modules go there?
No. The tile slope stays as it is. Modules go on the concrete terrace only.
The whole roof is concrete. Does the same limit apply?
No. A full concrete terrace 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 that shows the concrete terrace and any tile roof.
A free visit from Madipakkam. We mark where the concrete ends, the row that fits, and whether the plant should be DCR.
