The open slab
The concrete beyond the neighbour's sunshade is the only place we draw a row.
Short streets off Anna Salai
Solar panels for your home in Teynampet.
On these streets the house next door often has a concrete sunshade that already crosses your parapet. The strip under that shade stays bare. We do not build under their concrete, and we do not ask for it to be cut. The visit from Madipakkam is free.
Concrete that is already over the line
Under their sunshade, nothing.
The projection is already there. Rails stop short of it. The frame is not tucked underneath. We mark the open slab beyond that strip, leave the tank and a walkway, and see whether that area matches the daytime bill. A terrace with no sunshade over the parapet is an ordinary survey.
A shop board or an exhaust left on the terrace is the Alwarpet case. Traffic film on a highway parapet is the Alandur case. A taller block that shades the same hours is the Thoraipakkam case. A same-height neighbour that only needs a walkway is the Thalambur case. A tree in the compound is the R.A. Puram case. An open courtyard is the Mylapore case. A flat cannot take the common roof of a large block. That is the Sholinganallur case. City-wide module choice is on panels for a Chennai home.

The strip
Where their concrete already crosses the parapet, that strip stays bare. The frame is not tucked under it.
03
Tank and walkway
On the open slab, the tank stays and a path stays. The row uses what remains.
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 its own terrace.
Independent houses on these streets are the usual fit. A flat cannot claim the common roof of a large block. If the next building is a tower that shades half the terrace every afternoon, that side is marked the way the Thoraipakkam page describes, before the sunshade question.
How the row is fixed once the open slab is clear is on solar panel installation. Modules you already hold are labour from ₹3,000 per kW, materials excluded, on installation services. The Teynampet figure is on solar panels and prices in Teynampet. How the crew sets the row is on solar panels and installation in Teynampet. The subsidy gap is on panel and price. NDCR against DCR is in that guide before an import is confirmed.
Show the parapet and the next house
The sunshade, then the row.
Do you visit Teynampet from Madipakkam?
Yes. The roof visit is free. A recent bill and a photo of the parapet and the next house are enough to start. No modules are ordered that day.
Can modules go under the neighbour's sunshade?
No. That strip stays bare. Rails stop short of their concrete. The sunshade is not cut.
Nothing crosses the parapet. Does the same limit apply?
No. A terrace with no sunshade over it 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 parapet and the next house.
A free visit from Madipakkam. We leave the strip under their sunshade bare, and note whether the plant should be DCR.
