Local Guidance
Frequently Asked Questions for Visakhapatnam
Key considerations regarding utility approvals, terrace usability, and subsidy paperwork.
Why do solar installations in Visakhapatnam require marine-grade hardware?
Visakhapatnam coastal environment contains high atmospheric salinity. Leo Solar uses marine-grade hot-dip galvanized structures (80 to 120 microns coating), stainless steel fasteners (SS304/SS316), and UV-stabilized IP66 enclosures to prevent corrosion and sustain mechanical integrity.
How are solar installations in Vizag designed against cyclone winds?
In compliance with IS 875 (Part 3) wind load standards, our mounting structures in Visakhapatnam are engineered and certified to withstand cyclonic wind speeds of up to 200 km/h using heavy-duty chemical anchors or counter-weighted structural foundations.
What are the five engineering drawings required by APEPDCL for net-metering?
APEPDCL mandates five engineering drawings: a Single Line Diagram (SLD), a General Arrangement (GA) layout, an Earthing scheme layout, a Net Metering schematic, and a Structural Stability Certificate from a certified engineer. Leo Solar prepares and submits all five drawings.
