Why elevated structures are common in Indore

Indore's houses typically have flat RCC terraces with water tanks, a stair headroom and parapets — and families actually use their terraces. A low array either gets shaded or takes over the roof. Raising it solves both.

FAQ

Questions people ask us

How high is an elevated solar structure?

Usually 2–3 metres of clear height at the lower edge, set according to how you use the terrace and what needs to be cleared for shading.

Is an elevated structure safe in strong winds?

When designed properly, yes. It needs heavier columns, bracing and well-anchored footings. We design for Indore's pre-monsoon storms and check fasteners during service visits.

Does an elevated structure need drilling into the roof?

We generally use concrete pedestals that sit on the slab and spread the load, which protects the waterproofing. The approach is confirmed after checking your roof.
