Why Wind Energy in Tamil Nadu?
Tamil Nadu's geography uniquely concentrates wind — the Palghat Gap funnels strong winds across the state from June through September, while the Coromandel coast brings steady sea-breeze year-round. Average winds range from 5-8 m/s in much of the state.
Average annual wind: 5-8 m/s (best in India)

Yes — we install across all populated areas in Tamil Nadu. For remote sites we add a logistics premium but the system economics still work, especially for off-grid configurations.
