Solar Panel Installation

Kerala's MNRE-approved solar installer — based in Vyttila, Kochi. Government subsidy up to ₹78,000. Free site survey. 25-year panel warranty.
Why Kochi Is Ideal for Solar
Kochi receives over 2,000 peak sun hours per year — enough to make a rooftop solar system one of the most reliable investments a homeowner can make. Despite the monsoon season, Kochi's annual solar yield is consistently strong, and KSEB's net metering policy means every unit you generate (but don't consume) is credited back to your bill.
As a Kochi-based company, Rayenna Energy understands local building types — from high-rise apartments in Kakkanad and Edapally to independent villas in Thevara and Vyttila. We handle KSEB net meter applications, structural assessments, and subsidy paperwork for every installation we complete in the district.
- 2,000+ peak sun hours/year in Ernakulam district
- Installations across 15+ Kochi localities — Edapally, Thevara, Vyttila, Kakkanad, Fort Kochi, Palluruthy, Ravipuram and more
- KSEB net metering — export surplus units and reduce your bill to near zero

PM Surya Ghar Subsidy Available in Kochi

Kochi Homeowners Ask
Does heavy rainfall during Kerala's monsoon reduce solar output significantly?
Yes, generation drops during heavy overcast days — typically 20–40% in peak monsoon months (June–August). However, with 8–9 months of strong sunshine, your annual yield remains high. Systems are correctly sized to account for seasonal variation, so payback calculations factor in monsoon months.
Can I install solar on an apartment roof in Kochi?
Yes, if you have access to a dedicated roof area (typically 50–100 sq ft per kW) and the housing society permits it. Rayenna has completed apartment rooftop installations in Kakkanad, Edapally, and Fort Kochi. We can assess feasibility during the free site survey.
How long does the KSEB net metering approval take in Ernakulam?
KSEB typically processes net metering applications within 30–60 days after technical inspection. Rayenna submits all paperwork on your behalf and follows up with the local KSEB office, so you don't need to visit any government office.
Is sea air (salt mist) a problem for solar panels near the Kochi coast?
Salt-laden air can accelerate corrosion of cheaper mounting structures. Rayenna uses marine-grade anodised aluminium rails and stainless-steel fasteners for coastal installations — standard practice for all our installations in Fort Kochi, Palluruthy, and Cherai.
