The upper terrace
The concrete over the living floors is the only place we draw a row.
Villa plots south of Sholinganallur
Solar panels for your home in Kelambakkam.
From the gate, many of these houses show two roofs. The upper one is the terrace. The lower one is often the car porch. Modules go on the upper concrete. The porch is not added. The visit from Madipakkam is free.
What the gate is pointing at
The upper slab, not the porch.
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.
A neighbour's floor still rising is the OMR case. A flat in a large community cannot take the common roof. That is the Sholinganallur case. An old tile roof over the rear rooms is the Selaiyur case. Direct spray on beach-facing glass is the Neelankarai case. This stretch sits inland of that beach. City-wide module choice is on panels for a Chennai home.

The porch
A sheet or a lower slab over the car stays out. It is not spare area for extra modules.
03
Tank and walkway
On the upper 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 upper terrace.
Independent houses and villas on the layouts here are the usual fit. A flat cannot claim the common roof of a large block. If the next plot's floor already rises above your parapet, that shade is marked the way the OMR page describes, before the porch question.
How the row is fixed once the upper 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 Kelambakkam figure is on solar panels and prices in Kelambakkam. How the crew sets the row is on solar panels and installation in Kelambakkam. The subsidy gap is on panel and price. NDCR against DCR is in that guide before an import is confirmed.

The porch, then the row.
Do you visit Kelambakkam from Madipakkam?
Yes. The roof visit is free. A recent bill and a photo of the upper terrace and the porch, if there is one, are enough to start. No modules are ordered that day.
Can modules go on the car porch roof?
No. The porch stays a porch. Modules go on the upper concrete terrace only.
There is no porch. Does the same limit apply?
No. The upper terrace alone 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 upper terrace and the porch.
A free visit from Madipakkam. We mark the upper slab, leave the porch out, and note whether the plant should be DCR.
