The short answer
Does SunKraft Solar install rooftop solar in Kochi?
Yes. Kochi is a coastal city built across the Arabian Sea shoreline and the Vembanad estuary, and that geography decides most of what a rooftop solar system here has to cope with. The central wards are dominated by apartment blocks and commercial buildings; the southern and eastern wards – Thevara, Palluruthy, Elamkulam, Vennala, Palarivattom – are mostly independent houses with either Mangalore-tiled sloped roofs or RCC flat slabs.

What we install on in Kochi
Independent houses
✓ Thevara, Palluruthy, Vennala and Elamkulam have the roof area a 3 kW to 5 kW system needs, on tiled or flat roofs.
Apartments
✓ Central Kochi is apartment-heavy. A rooftop system there needs the owners association to allocate roof space, so the approval sits with the association rather than the individual flat.
Commercial premises
✓ Showrooms and offices around MG Road, Kaloor and Kadavanthra draw most of their power in daylight hours, which is when a solar system generates.

Local considerations
What affects a solar system in Kochi
Salt-laden air
Wards close to the shoreline and the estuary carry salt in the air. Mounting structures, fasteners and enclosures have to be specified for that, and panels need washing more often than inland.
Coconut palm shading
The most common reason a Kochi roof produces less than its rating is a palm to the south or west of the array.
Heritage streetscapes
Parts of Fort Kochi and Mattancherry have older buildings and heritage considerations, so panel placement has to be worked out around what the roof and the street elevation allow.
