The cable band
Where the service wire crosses the terrace, that band stays empty. Nothing is set under it.

Solar panels and installation in Kottivakkam.
The crew keeps the row clear of the service wire over the terrace. 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.
The wire is the first line
Nothing goes under the cable.
These lanes are short. The pole is in the street, and the service wire often dips across the terrace on its way to the meter. A row beneath it is not a layout we will sign. We mark where the cable crosses, leave that band empty, and see what straight width remains. On many of these roofs that width is a single line. If it matches the daytime bill, that line is the plant. The house across the lane can shade one edge as well. That edge is noted after the cable, not instead of it. The roof itself is on panels for a Kottivakkam home. Where a panel is fixed is on solar panel installation in Kottivakkam.
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.

Four things the crew decides on the roof.
02
One line
The straight width that remains is often a single row. If it matches the daytime bill, that line is the plant.
03
The far edge
Shade from the house across the lane is noted after the cable, not instead of it.
04
Subsidy
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
The drawing has to name the cable.
Ask whether the band under the service wire was left empty. 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 between East Coast Road and the beach are the usual fit. A flat with no terrace of its own is not a private plant. A balcony over the lane is not a mounting place, even when the roof itself is small.
The figure is on solar panels and prices in Kottivakkam. How any Chennai quote should be lined up is on panel and price. A shop meter under the home is the Palavakkam installation.
Questions, answered
Before the first rail is fixed.
What does solar panels and installation in Kottivakkam cover?
Fitting starts at ₹3,000 per kW when you already own the panels and inverter. The crew sets the row clear of the service wire, on the straight width that remains. A complete plant is drawn after a free visit. Eligible homes can receive up to ₹78,000. Amount and approval follow current scheme rules.
The service wire crosses the terrace. Can modules go under it?
No. That band stays empty. A row beneath the cable is not a layout we will sign. The plant is the straight width that remains.
Only one line fits. Is that still fitted?
Yes, when that line matches the daytime bill. We do not push a second row under the cable or onto the shaded edge.
How does the subsidy change what you pay?
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.
