The short answer

Does SunKraft Solar install rooftop solar in Ernakulam?

Yes. Ernakulam district runs from the Arabian Sea coast inland to the Western Ghats foothills, and rooftop solar behaves differently at the two ends of it. The coastal and backwater belt – Kochi, Panangad, Kumbalam, Nettoor – deals with salt-laden air. The inland taluks around Kunnathunad, Muvattupuzha and Kothamangalam have larger plots, less salt exposure and more room to orient an array properly.

Property types

What we install on in Ernakulam

Independent homes

✓  The district is mostly low-rise independent housing, which is the easiest building type to fit rooftop solar to.

IT and office premises

✓  Kakkanad and the Infopark corridor are daytime-load buildings, where generation and consumption line up well.

Small industry

✓  Kalamassery, Eloor and Perumbavoor have small manufacturing units whose shift patterns decide whether on-grid or hybrid makes more sense.

Local considerations

What affects a solar system in Ernakulam

Two different climates in one district

A roof at Kumbalam and a roof at Kothamangalam need different mounting specifications, even at the same system size.

Monsoon planning

June to August is the south-west monsoon and output drops. Net metering is what carries a household across that dip, using credit banked in the stronger months.

KSEB is the distribution licensee

Every net-metering application in the district goes to KSEB, and the feasibility approval has to come through before any installation is commissioned.

Questions

Solar in Ernakulam, answered

We work from Panangad and cover Kochi and the surrounding municipalities and panchayats. Tell us your location and we will confirm before a survey is booked.

The monsoon reduces generation for roughly three months, it does not remove it. The annual figure of about 1,400 units per kilowatt already accounts for the wet months, and net metering banks the surplus from the strong months against them.

We do. We register the application on the National Portal, file the KSEB feasibility application, follow it up and handle the net-metering agreement.
