Meter and load
Separate common-area consumption from individual flat meters. Check daytime and evening use before sizing the plant.
Housing society solar
Plan solar for your society's common areas
Lifts, pumps, corridor lights and shared facilities usually sit on a common-area electricity connection. A useful proposal starts with that bill, a roof survey and the committee's approval route.
What the committee should check
Roof rights
Confirm usable roof area, structural condition, access, shade and how the committee will approve the installation.
Approvals
Review the current DISCOM process, metering route and any applicable society support under the official scheme rules.
Society enquiry
Request a site-specific discussion
Send the committee contact and connection details. The proposal can then address roof capacity, the common-area bill, approvals and maintenance responsibilities.
For background, read the society solar guide and the committee NOC guide.
