The flat slab
The concrete behind the verandah is the only place we draw a row.
A tiled verandah at the front
Solar panels for your home in Kilpauk.
On the older garden houses the front verandah is often still a tiled slope, and the flat concrete sits behind it. Rails go only on that slab. The verandah is not drilled, and it is not counted. The visit from Madipakkam is free.
Two roofs, one of them unused
The flat slab, not the verandah.
We mark where the concrete begins and leave the slope out. Screwing rails through the tiles is not a repair we will start. The tank stays. A walkway stays. If the flat patch is only a narrow strip, that strip is the plant, or we say it is too small. A house whose whole roof is already concrete is an ordinary survey.
Tiles over the rear rooms, with concrete at the front, are the Selaiyur case. An old sheet over the rooms is the Siruseri case. A car porch under the upper slab is the Kelambakkam case. A high compound wall on the next plot is the Kodambakkam case. An old brick roof that only looks flat is the Nungambakkam case. A parapet that looks onto a station yard is the Egmore case. Traffic film on a highway parapet is the Alandur case. A flat cannot take a common roof. That is the Sholinganallur case. City-wide module choice is on panels for a Chennai home.

The verandah
The tiled slope stays as it is. It is not drilled and not counted.
03
Tank and walkway
Both stay on the flat slab. The row uses what remains after they are marked.

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.
Older garden houses are the usual fit. A flat cannot claim the building's roof. If the whole roof is already concrete, the survey is ordinary unless another limit on these pages applies.
How the row is fixed once the verandah is left out is on solar panel installation. Modules you already hold are labour from ₹3,000 per kW, materials excluded, on installation services. The Kilpauk figure is on solar panels and prices in Kilpauk. How the crew sets the row is on solar panels and installation in Kilpauk. The subsidy gap is on panel and price. NDCR against DCR is in that guide before an import is confirmed.
Show the verandah, if there is one
The slope, then the slab.
Do you visit Kilpauk from Madipakkam?
Yes. The roof visit is free. A recent bill and a photo that shows the verandah, if there is one, are enough to start. No modules are ordered that day.
Can the row sit on the verandah tiles?
No. The slope is not drilled and not counted. Rails stay on the flat concrete behind it.
The whole roof is already concrete. Does the same limit apply?
No. A house with no tiled verandah 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 that shows the verandah, if there is one.
A free visit from Madipakkam. We leave that slope undrilled, and note whether the plant should be DCR.
