# Elevated Solar Structure in Indore

> Elevated (raised) solar mounting structures for Indore terraces — galvanised columns, 2–3 m clear height, concrete pedestals and bracing. Keep your terrace usable and avoid shading.

An elevated solar structure raises the solar array on tall galvanised steel columns, typically giving 2–3 metres of clear height above the terrace. Genius Solar designs and installs elevated structures across Indore on concrete pedestals with rafters, purlins and diagonal bracing. They keep the terrace usable, lift modules above shadows from tanks, stair headrooms and parapets, improve airflow for cooler modules and suit bifacial panels. They typically add ₹8,000–₹15,000 per kW over a standard structure.

## Included

- **Structural layout:** Column grid planned around tanks, headroom, plants and walkways.
- **Galvanised steel:** Rust-resistant columns, rafters and purlins sized to the span.
- **Concrete pedestals:** Footings that spread load and protect roof waterproofing.
- **Bracing:** Diagonal and knee bracing for pre-monsoon winds.
- **Clear height:** Typically 2–3 m, set to your terrace use and shading.
- **Cable routing:** Cables run along the structure in conduit down to the inverter.


## 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.

## Elevated vs standard

| | Standard | Elevated |
|---|---|---|
| Terrace use | Lost under array | Kept |
| Shading from tanks/parapets | Frequent | Usually avoided |
| Module cooling | Moderate | Better |
| Cost | Base | +₹8,000–₹15,000/kW typical |

## FAQ

### 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.
