How long does solar installation take in Chennai?

The physical rooftop solar installation itself takes only about 8 to 10 hours — a single working day. The site survey takes one day, and if you share roof photos and your location with GenSolar we can quote within 2 hours. PM Surya Ghar approval usually comes in 2 to 5 business days, and TANGEDCO net metering in 2 to 10 days. Several of our Chennai customers were installed and generating power within 7 days of signing up.

What government subsidy is available for solar in Chennai?

Chennai homeowners get ₹30,000 for a 1 kW system, ₹60,000 for 2 kW and ₹78,000 for 3 kW and above under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana — ₹78,000 is the cap, so any system of 3 kW or larger receives the same ₹78,000. It applies to residential TANGEDCO consumers, the amount is credited by the central government directly to your bank account after installation, and GenSolar Energy files the entire National Portal application for you.

What shapes your solar quote in Chennai

Panel brand and technology

Module efficiency, warranty and availability influence the proposal. We recommend the right option for your roof rather than a one-size-fits-all product.

Roof type and structure

Flat RCC terraces, sloped tile roofs, sheet roofs and elevated structures each need a different engineered mounting approach.

Inverter choice

String inverters suit most Chennai homes. Micro-inverters or optimisers can recover output on partially shaded roofs.

Battery backup

Battery capacity is designed around the essential loads you need during outages, rather than the entire connected load.

Cable runs and earthing

The distance between the terrace and meter room determines DC/AC cabling, conduit and protection requirements.

Subsidy eligibility

Residential TANGEDCO consumers with 1–10 kW qualify for PM Surya Ghar. Rented roofs and commercial connections do not.

Flexible payment options

Ask our team about available payment and finance options after your project scope is confirmed. Your written quote explains the selected equipment, installation scope and payment milestones clearly.
