Solar for every property in Chennai
Residential
Rooftop solar for independent houses, villas and apartments across Chennai — on-grid, net-metered, with PM Surya Ghar subsidy paperwork handled. Corrosion-rated mounts for the coastal, humid climate.
Commercial
Offices, showrooms, hospitals, schools and IT parks. Cut daytime grid draw at ₹8–11/unit with CAPEX or zero-investment RESCO, and put the roof you already pay for to work.
Industrial
Factories in Ambattur, Guindy, Sriperumbudur and Oragadam. High-yield C&I rooftop, canopies over parking yards and ground-mount, engineered to IS 875 wind loads and your process load profile.
Chennai solar: what actually matters on the ground
- TANGEDCO net metering & gross metering applications, plus CEIG approvals, handled end to end.
- Coastal, humid air: we spec corrosion-resistant structures and marine-grade fasteners so plants last 25 years.
- Dense metro roofs: shadow analysis around water tanks, HVAC and neighbouring buildings for a realistic yield.

Chennai solar FAQ
Which is the best solar company in Chennai?
The best solar company for you in Chennai is one that engineers the plant for your roof and bills, not just sells panels. Check four things: completed local projects you can visit, in-house TNPDCL (TANGEDCO) net-metering approvals, ALMM-listed Tier-1 modules with written yield estimates, and its own O&M team. Goggles Energy has built residential, rooftop and industrial solar in Chennai and across Tamil Nadu since 2013 (150+ MW, 500+ projects), with a Chennai office in T. Nagar. Compare at least three quotes on per-kW price, structure design and warranties.
Which is the best solar company in Chennai for home?
For a home in Chennai, choose an installer that is a registered PM Surya Ghar vendor, files the TNPDCL net-metering application for you and quotes DCR modules. Central subsidy is ₹30,000 / ₹60,000 / ₹78,000 for 1 / 2 / 3+ kW, and Tamil Nadu adds up to ₹22,000 for eligible registrations. Get a written generation estimate before you pay.
Who is the best solar EPC company in Chennai for factories?
Pick an EPC that sizes the plant to your daytime load, checks the roof structure to IS 875, handles TNPDCL approvals and runs its own O&M. Self-used solar replaces grid power at ₹8.25 per unit (LT industrial) or ₹7.50 plus ₹608 per kVA demand (HT), so a well-sized Chennai plant typically pays back in 3.5–5 years.
How much does rooftop solar cost in Chennai?
Indicative turnkey bands in Tamil Nadu: a 3 kWp home system is ~₹1.8–2.2 lakh before the PM Surya Ghar subsidy; 100 kWp is ₹45–50 lakh; 1 MWp is ₹3.8–4.2 crore. Your exact figure comes from a free feasibility on your bill and roof.
Do you handle TANGEDCO net metering in Chennai?
Yes. Net-metering and gross-metering applications, feasibility clearances and CEIG / electrical inspectorate approvals are part of our scope and managed end to end.
Is my Chennai roof suitable given the coastal climate?
Most RCC and metal-deck roofs are. We use corrosion-resistant mounting and marine-grade fixings for Chennai's humid, salt-laden air, and design around shading from tanks and HVAC.
Can I go solar with zero investment in Chennai?
Yes — under RESCO/PPA or BOOT, Goggles Energy or a financing partner owns the plant and you pay only for the solar units at a tariff below your grid rate. Savings begin from the first month.
Which areas of Chennai do you install solar in?
All of Chennai and its suburbs, from T. Nagar, Adyar, Velachery, Anna Nagar and OMR to Tambaram, Porur, Ambattur and Avadi, plus the Sriperumbudur, Oragadam and Irungattukottai industrial belts.
What is the price of a 3 kW rooftop solar system in Chennai?
Indicatively ₹1.8–2.2 lakh before subsidy and about ₹1.02–1.42 lakh after the ₹78,000 PM Surya Ghar subsidy, for an on-grid system with DCR modules including GST.
