Ampang runs north-east from KLCC along Jalan Ampang and Jalan Ampang Hilir, with older bungalows and terraces in Taman Ampang, newer gated landed homes towards Taman Dato' Ahmad Razali, and condominiums along the LRT line.
What we usually see in Ampang
Checking older roofs before panels go up
On houses from past decades, the roof decides the project. Clay tiles, older timber trusses, and past leak repairs are checked first, because fixing a roof is far easier before panels are mounted on it.
Terraces and semi-Ds with concrete tiles
Newer landed houses usually have concrete roof tiles and enough roof space facing east or west for a home system. Most owners ask how Solar ATAP applies to them and whether a battery is worth adding.
Condos: shared roofs need the management body
In a condominium, the roof and car park are common property, so an individual owner cannot install panels or an EV charger without the management corporation's approval. Projects for common areas are proposed to the management body instead.
Large roofs, batteries, and EV chargers
Bigger landed homes have more roof space and higher bills, and many owners add battery storage and a home EV charger at the same time as the panels.
