The new block
We record which side it covers, and for which hours. A noon photo hides the morning or the late day.
Older houses east of OMR, toward the canal
Solar panels for your home in Thoraipakkam.
Toward Okkiyam, many roofs are still a single house. A newer apartment on the next plot can cover that terrace for part of the day. We mark those hours and leave them empty. Damp air off the canal is why the rails and clamps are specified, not only the wattage. The visit from Madipakkam is free.
What the new building changed
Hours in shadow, and air off the canal.
The house was often there first. The apartment came later, on the plot beside it, and now stands higher than the parapet. Its shadow is not a tree that shifts through the season. It is a wall of floors that covers the same side at the same time each day. Modules go only where that side stays bright. Filling the dark strip adds glass that does not earn its place.
Houses facing the canal also sit in damp air. Rails, clamps, and cable glands are named for that, on the same quote as the wattage. A large community on Old Mahabalipuram Road is not a private terrace. That rule is on the Sholinganallur page. A mast already on the slab is the Perungudi case. Here the house still owns the roof, and the limits are the new block and the canal air. City-wide module choice is on panels for a Chennai home.

Four lines for a canal-side house.
02
The bright side
Only that side is counted. If it is too small to be useful, we say so.
03
Damp air
Toward Okkiyam, rails, clamps, and glands are specified for canal air. The module sticker does not replace that line.
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 that still owns its slab.
Independent houses east of the highway, including those toward Okkiyam, are the usual fit. A flat in a large block on Old Mahabalipuram Road does not get a private row on the common roof. A balcony over the canal is not a mounting place.
How the rails are fixed is on solar panel installation. Modules you already hold are labour, quoted on installation services. The Thoraipakkam figure is on solar panels and prices in Thoraipakkam. How the crew sets the row is on solar panels and installation in Thoraipakkam. The subsidy gap is on panel and price. NDCR against DCR is in that guide before an import is confirmed.
Before a count
The neighbour, then the air.
Do you visit Thoraipakkam from Madipakkam?
Yes. The roof visit is free. A recent bill is enough to start. You can stop after the shaded hours are marked. No modules are ordered that day.
A new apartment shades our house. Is a plant still useful?
On the hours that stay clear. If that patch is too small, we say so and leave the shaded side empty.
Does the canal change the hardware?
Yes, toward Okkiyam. Rails, clamps, and glands are specified for damp air. A higher wattage sticker is not a substitute.
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.
Say what stands beside the Thoraipakkam house.
And whether it faces the canal. A free visit from Madipakkam. We mark the shaded hours and whether the plant should be DCR.
