The crew leaves the pots and the tank, and uses the open strip. 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.

A roof that stays in use
Houses off Medavakkam Main Road, including lanes in Balaji Nagar and Vigneshwar Nagar, often keep a water tank, a stair cover, and a line of pots. Those stay. Modules go on the open strip that remains, with a path beside them. If the next house shades one edge in the morning or the evening, that edge stays bare. The office is on Medavakkam Main Road, opposite Kumaran Theatre, Monday to Saturday, 9 am to 7 pm. Nothing is ordered at the counter. The roof itself is on panels for a Madipakkam home. Where a panel is fixed is on solar panel installation in Madipakkam.
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.
Labour from ₹3,000/kWSubsidy up to ₹78,000Visit from MadipakkamOn the Madipakkam terrace
Tank, stair cover, and pots stay. Modules occupy only the clear width that is left.
If the next house covers a side in the morning or the evening, that side stays empty.
A path stays beside the row, so the terrace can still be used after the plant is on.
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 pots and the tank were left in place. 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 are the usual fit. A small apartment proceeds only after the association has allowed that household to use the terrace, in writing. A balcony or a setback is not a place for modules.
The figure is on solar panels and prices in Madipakkam. How any Chennai quote should be lined up is on panel and price. One narrow row is the Adambakkam installation.

If an open strip remains, yes. The pots and the tank stay. If that strip is too short to be useful, we say so and do not force a row.
It rules out that edge. The rest of the roof can still be used when the clear hours are enough.
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.
