Sentul grew around the old railway workshops and still has older terraces and shophouses, while Sentul East and Sentul West are being redeveloped with condominium towers and new commercial blocks.
What we usually see in Sentul
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.
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.
Shop-offices with daytime business
Clinics, cafés, and offices in shop-office rows use most of their electricity during business hours. Roof access and whether neighbouring units share the roof are checked during assessment.
Planning solar for new homes
Owners of newly built or handed-over houses can plan panels, an EV charger, and a battery together, so cable routes and the DB box are prepared once instead of being redone later.
