The solid strips
The concrete around the courtyard is the only place we draw a row.
Old streets around the temple tank
Solar panels for your home in Mylapore.
Many of these houses still have an open courtyard in the middle. The terrace is the concrete around that opening. Modules stay on the solid strips. The courtyard is not covered. The visit from Madipakkam is free.
The well in the middle
Around the courtyard, not across it.
The opening stays open so the rooms below keep their light. Rails do not bridge it, and modules are not laid over it to make the count larger. We mark the solid concrete, leave the tank and a walkway, and see whether that area matches the daytime bill. A house with no courtyard, only a full slab, is an ordinary survey.
A stair cut near the tank is the Pammal case. A built room already on the slab is the Injambakkam case. A stair-head room in the middle, with two short rows, is the Nanganallur case. Mangalore tiles over the rear rooms are the Selaiyur case. A narrow plot that holds only one row is the Adambakkam case. Neighbour shade on a narrow coastal terrace is the Adyar 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.

Four checks around the opening.
02
The courtyard
The opening stays open. Rails do not cross it, and it is not spare area for extra modules.
03
Tank and walkway
On the solid 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 around the well.
Independent houses in the old streets are the usual fit. A flat cannot claim the common roof of a large block. If the rear rooms are still under tiles, that roof is left alone the way the Selaiyur page describes, before the courtyard is marked.
How the row is fixed once the solid strips are clear is on solar panel installation. Modules you already hold are labour from ₹3,000 per kW, materials excluded, on installation services. The Mylapore figure is on solar panels and prices in Mylapore. How the crew sets the row is on solar panels and installation in Mylapore. The subsidy gap is on panel and price. NDCR against DCR is in that guide before an import is confirmed.
Show the courtyard and the concrete
The opening, then the row.
Do you visit Mylapore from Madipakkam?
Yes. The roof visit is free. A recent bill and a photo of the courtyard and the concrete around it, if both exist, are enough to start. No modules are ordered that day.
Can modules cover the courtyard?
No. The opening stays open. Rails do not bridge it. Modules stay on the solid concrete around it.
There is no courtyard. Does the same limit apply?
No. A full slab with no opening 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 courtyard and the concrete.
A free visit from Madipakkam. We mark the solid strips, leave the courtyard open, and note whether the plant should be DCR.
