Local Guidance

Frequently Asked Questions for Kakinada

Key considerations regarding utility approvals, terrace usability, and subsidy paperwork.

Why is marine-grade coating necessary for solar structures in Kakinada?

High humidity and coastal marine salt spray accelerate oxidation. Leo Solar uses 100-micron hot-dip galvanized steel and stainless steel fasteners to deliver 25-year structural integrity.

How does APEPDCL process net-metering in Kakinada?

APEPDCL processes applications digitally. Leo Solar submits the required five technical drawings, conducts site liaison, and secures bi-directional meter synchronization.

What central financial assistance is available for homeowners in Kakinada?

Under PM Surya Ghar, residential homeowners can access direct central subsidies credited to their bank accounts after commissioning.
