The slope
The house above you is part of the survey. A flat map of the suburb does not show that it already stands higher.
Streets that climb Pallavaram hill
Solar panels for your home in Pallavaram.
Around the hill, the house above you on the slope is already higher than the parapet. Its shade falls on the same side at the same time each day. Modules go only where that shade does not reach. A level street away from the hill is a different survey. The visit from Madipakkam is free.
Look up the slope first
The uphill house decides the side.
We stand on the terrace and see what already clears the parapet. If the next roof up the hill, or the hill itself, covers one side, that side stays bare. Raising the frame to climb over a hill we cannot move is not the drawing. The bright side, when it matches the daytime bill, is the plant. A level colony away from the hill keeps its tank and a walkway. The hill's shadow is not copied onto that roof.
Traffic film along GST Road is the Alandur case. Overhead railway wires beside a plot are the Tambaram case. Open marsh wind is Pallikaranai, a different place. City-wide module choice is on panels for a Chennai home.

The covered side
Whatever the hill or the uphill roof covers at the same hour each day stays out of the row.

Level streets
Away from the hill, the terrace is ordinary. We do not leave a side bare for a slope that is not there.

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 the hill streets, and on the level roads around them, are the usual fit. A flat cannot claim the common roof of a large block. That limit is the Sholinganallur page.
How the row is fixed once the uphill side is marked is on solar panel installation. Modules you already hold are labour from ₹3,000 per kW, materials excluded, on installation services. The Pallavaram figure is on solar panels and prices in Pallavaram. How the crew sets the row is on solar panels and installation in Pallavaram. The subsidy gap is on panel and price. NDCR against DCR is in that guide before an import is confirmed.

The slope, then the row.
Do you visit Pallavaram from Madipakkam?
Yes. The roof visit is free. A recent bill and a photo of the uphill side, or a note that the street is level, are enough to start. No modules are ordered that day.
The house above us on the hill shades one side. Do you still use that side?
No. If that roof already clears your parapet, that side stays bare. We do not raise the frame to climb over it.
We are on a level street, not on the hill. Does the same limit apply?
No. A level street keeps a normal terrace 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 what stands above the terrace.
A free visit from Madipakkam. We mark the uphill shade, the bright side, and whether the plant should be DCR.
