Cut your power bill with the sun Chennai already has

Chennai gets strong sunlight for most of the year, which makes rooftop solar one of the most practical investments for homes and businesses. RS Technologies designs and installs rooftop solar systems for homes, apartments, offices, schools and factories, along with solar-powered CCTV, street lights, water pumps and gate automation.

On-grid, off-grid or hybrid?

  • On-grid — connected to the grid with net metering; the lowest cost and the right choice for most homes that want lower bills
  • Hybrid — adds batteries, so essential loads keep running during power cuts
  • Off-grid — fully battery-based, for sites without a reliable grid connection

Subsidy for home rooftop solar

Under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, homes can receive a central subsidy of ₹30,000 per kW for the first 2 kW and ₹18,000 for the third kW — up to ₹78,000 for a system of 3 kW or more. Tamil Nadu’s 2026 budget announced an additional state top-up of up to ₹22,000; the state’s detailed guidelines are still awaited.

The subsidy requires DCR (domestically manufactured) panels and an installation by a vendor registered on the national portal. Always ask your installer to show their registration before you sign.

What a good installation includes

  • Roof survey — shading, structure strength and panel layout
  • System sizing based on your electricity bills, not guesswork
  • Galvanised, wind-rated mounting structures
  • Proper earthing and lightning protection
  • Net-meter application support with the electricity board (TNPDCL, formerly TANGEDCO)
  • Monitoring on your phone, and after-sales service

Commercial and industrial solar

For offices, schools, factories and warehouses with large daytime loads, rooftop solar offsets expensive commercial tariffs. We size these systems from your load profile and roof area, and can combine them with solar-powered CCTV and lighting for perimeter areas.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much subsidy can I get for home rooftop solar in Tamil Nadu?

The central PM Surya Ghar subsidy is up to ₹78,000 for a 3 kW or larger home system. Tamil Nadu has announced a state top-up of up to ₹22,000, with detailed guidelines still awaited.

What size solar system does my home need?

It depends on your monthly consumption and roof space. As a rough guide, many homes use a 3 kW system; we size it from your recent electricity bills.

Will solar work during a power cut?

A standard on-grid system shuts down during a grid outage for safety. If you need power during cuts, a hybrid system with batteries is the right choice.

How much does a 3 kW solar system cost in Chennai?

As an indicative market range, a good-quality on-grid 3 kW home system costs around ₹1.8 to ₹2.2 lakh before subsidy.

Do you install solar for factories and offices?

Yes. We design commercial and industrial rooftop systems based on your load and roof area, along with solar street lights and solar CCTV.
