The survey is the concrete above. The porch is not added because it is visible from the gate.

The crew counts the upper slab and leaves the car porch out. 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 the gate is pointing at
The porch roof is there so a car can stand under it. It is usually a sheet, or a slab at another level, and it is not the terrace we survey. We mark the upper concrete, leave the tank and a walkway, and see whether that area matches the daytime bill. Pointing at the porch from the street does not put it into the count. A house with no porch, only the upper terrace, is an ordinary survey. The roof itself is on panels for a Kelambakkam home. Where a panel is fixed is on solar panel installation in Kelambakkam.
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.

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 the car porch was left out of the count. 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. Independent houses and villas on the layouts here are the usual fit. A flat cannot claim the common roof of a large block. A balcony is not a mounting place.
The figure is on solar panels and prices in Kelambakkam. How any Chennai quote should be lined up is on panel and price. An old tile roof over the rear rooms is the Selaiyur installation.
