The slab inside
The open concrete behind the front parapet is the only place we draw a row.
Wall-to-wall houses on short streets
Solar panels for your home in Gopalapuram.
These plots meet the neighbour on both sides, so the service cable cannot drop down a side passage. It lands on the front parapet and runs along it. That edge is not a place for rails. The row sits on the slab inside. The visit from Madipakkam is free.
The line that already landed
The cable stays on the parapet.
Rails are not clamped over that run, and the cable is not shifted to free the edge. We mark the open concrete inside, leave the tank and a walkway, and see whether that area matches the daytime bill. A terrace where the cable does not run along the parapet is an ordinary survey.
A cable that still crosses in the air above the slab is the Kottivakkam case. Wires along a railway parapet are the Tambaram case. An old brick roof that only looks flat is the Nungambakkam case. A neighbour's sunshade over the parapet is the Teynampet case. A shop board left on the terrace is the Alwarpet case. A tree in the compound is the R.A. Puram 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 cable
Where the service line already runs along the front edge, that parapet stays clear. The cable is not moved.
03
Tank and walkway
On the inner 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 short streets are the usual fit. A flat cannot claim the common roof of a large block. If the cable still spans above the roof and has not landed, that clearance is marked the way the Kottivakkam page describes, before the parapet question.
How the row is fixed once the inner 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 Gopalapuram figure is on solar panels and prices in Gopalapuram. How the crew sets the row is on solar panels and installation in Gopalapuram. 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 cable
The cable, then the row.
Do you visit Gopalapuram from Madipakkam?
Yes. The roof visit is free. A recent bill and a photo of the front parapet and the cable, if it runs there, are enough to start. No modules are ordered that day.
Can rails go on the parapet that carries the cable?
No. That edge stays clear. Rails are not clamped over the cable, and the cable is not shifted.
The cable does not run along the parapet. Does the same limit apply?
No. A terrace without that parapet run 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 cable.
A free visit from Madipakkam. We leave the service line where it is, and note whether the plant should be DCR.
