Frequently Asked Questions
Factual guidelines regarding solar panels, net-metering, and government subsidies in Chennai.
The average cost of a residential solar panel system in Chennai starts at around ₹55,000 to ₹75,000 per kW before subsidy. For a 3kW system, the total cost is approximately ₹1,95,000. Under the PM-Surya Ghar subsidy scheme, you receive ₹78,000 back, reducing your effective net investment to around ₹1,17,000.
In Tamil Nadu, the national PM-Surya Ghar portal is integrated with TANGEDCO. Homeowners must apply on the national portal, choose an empaneled vendor (like IKIGAI GLOBAL), complete the installation, and pass the TNEB net-metering inspection. Once commissioned, the subsidy is credited to your bank account within 30 days.
Mono-crystalline PERC and Bifacial solar panels are best suited for Chennai's hot and coastal climate. They perform exceptionally well under high temperatures and have low temperature coefficients, meaning they lose less efficiency when panels heat up during peak summer afternoons.
No. Professional solar installers like IKIGAI GLOBAL use chemical anchoring and anchor fast-fasteners on flat concrete roofs, followed by triple-layer waterproofing seals. This ensures structures remain highly wind-resistant without causing any roof punctures or water leakages.
Rooftop solar can reduce your TNEB electricity bill by up to 90%. For a typical household bill of ₹6,000 (consuming 700 units), a 3kW solar system generating 360 units monthly can drop your bill down to the minimum grid service charge of around ₹300-₹500.
Tier-1 solar panels are built to last over 25 to 30 years. Most manufacturers provide a 10-year product warranty and a 25-year linear performance warranty guaranteeing that panels will still generate at least 80-85% of their original capacity after 25 years.
