With over 300 sunny days each year, Chennai is one of the most solar-efficient cities in India. Our expert EPC team designs, installs, and maintains rooftop solar systems for apartment complexes, gated communities, and resident welfare associations (RWAs) — ensuring optimal energy generation and long-term reliability.
Why Housing Societies in Chennai Should Go Solar
Lower Common Area Power Bills
Common facilities such as elevators, pumps, and lighting consume a large share of society power. Solar energy reduces monthly EB bills by up to 80–90%, turning your terrace into an income-saving asset.
Excellent Solar Potential
Chennai receives an average solar irradiance of 5.5 kWh/m²/day, offering one of the best return-on-investment rates for community solar projects.
Net Metering Benefits (TANGEDCO)
With TANGEDCO’s net metering policy, societies can offset energy consumption and earn credit for surplus power exported to the grid.
Subsidy Support
Synergy Solar assists in applying for MNRE and TEDA subsidies where applicable — making your solar investment even more affordable.
Green & Sustainable Living
Switching to solar reduces your society’s carbon footprint and positions your community as a green-certified, eco-friendly neighborhood.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Solar for Housing Societies in Chennai
How much does it cost to install solar for a housing society in Chennai?
The cost of solar installation for housing societies in Chennai typically ranges between ₹45,000 to ₹60,000 per kW, depending on panel brand, inverter type, and structure design. For larger societies, the price per kW decreases due to scale benefits.
Can housing societies in Chennai get a government subsidy for solar installation?
Yes, MNRE and TEDA subsidies are available for eligible residential and society-based projects. Synergy Solar assists in applying for these subsidies and handles all related documentation with TANGEDCO and TEDA.
How does TANGEDCO net metering work for housing societies?
Under TANGEDCO’s net metering policy, the energy generated from your society’s solar panels first powers the common areas. Any surplus electricity is exported to the grid, and your society receives billing credits that reduce monthly electricity costs.
What is the return on investment (ROI) period for a solar system in Chennai?
Most Chennai housing societies achieve a payback within 4–5 years through reduced power bills and net metering benefits. After that, the system provides free electricity for 20+ years.
How much rooftop space does a housing society need for solar panels?
On average, 100 sq. ft. of rooftop area generates 1 kW of solar power. A mid-sized housing society usually needs 2,000–3,000 sq. ft. to install a 20–30 kW system suitable for common area usage.
Can multiple apartment blocks share one solar system?
Yes. A common solar power plant can be installed on one or more rooftops and shared among multiple blocks through sub-metering and centralized control. This approach maximizes space utilization and power distribution efficiency.
Is solar power reliable during Chennai’s monsoon season?
Absolutely. Even on cloudy or rainy days, panels generate 20–30% of their rated capacity, and overall yearly generation remains high due to Chennai’s long sunny season.
Does Synergy Solar provide AMC and maintenance services in Chennai?
Yes. We offer Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) covering system cleaning, inspections, and real-time performance monitoring across Chennai — including Ambattur, Anna Nagar, OMR, Tambaram, and Porur.
How long does it take to complete a housing society solar installation in Chennai?
Typically, a 20–50 kW housing society project takes about 4–6 weeks from design to commissioning, depending on the number of approvals and structural readiness.
