Solar Installation in Cantonment
Lucknow Cantonment is a historic area with an estimated 50,000+ households comprising both military establishments and civilian residential colonies. The area includes spacious bungalows along Nawab Yusuf Road and Subhash Marg, defence personnel quarters in Military Lines and MES Colony, and civilian pockets in Dilkusha Garden, Residency area, and Bibiapur. The tree-lined avenues and heritage character give the Cantonment a distinct charm compared to denser Lucknow localities.
Cantonment's spacious bungalow-style houses with large RCC rooftops are well-suited for 3-5kW residential systems, and many properties have 200-400 sq ft of shadow-free roof area. The mature tree canopy along internal roads can cause partial shading, which our team addresses through optimized panel placement during site surveys. Civilian properties use LESA connections for net metering. Defence quarters may require cantonment board approval, which BL Solar Solutions assists with.
We have completed 16+ installations in the Cantonment vicinity, primarily in civilian colonies around Dilkusha Garden and Bibiapur where independent houses offer ample rooftop space for 3-5kW systems.
