Updated March 2026 | Sri Ishaan Solar
Living in an apartment? You can still go solar. Here's how housing societies and individual flat owners in Hyderabad are doing it.
Two Options for Apartments
Option 1: Common Area Solar (RWA Decision)
- Solar powers common area (lifts, lights, water pumps, CCTV)
- RWA passes resolution → all members benefit
- Typical size: 10-50 kW depending on common area load
- Cost split equally among all flat owners
- Monthly maintenance fund savings: Rs 500-2,000 per flat
Option 2: Individual Flat Rooftop
- If you have exclusive roof access (top floor, penthouse)
- 1-3 kW system for your own consumption
- PM Surya Ghar subsidy applicable
- Need RWA NOC
Costs for Housing Societies
