Hamlan has been building homes with solar panels and a battery as part of our standard inclusion for more than five years. We were the first builder in Geelong to offer the Tesla battery with backup as standard.
Our clients have been drawn to Hamlan because of the environmental impact of this sustainable energy option, but with the current pressures of the cost of living impacting families, this inclusion also has cost benefits.
We caught up with one of our clients who moved into their home over 12 months ago, to find out how they’re going and hear their thoughts about using solar and a Tesla Powerall.
Anna Egbert and her family moved into their new Gellibrand 287 on her acreage block in Bannockburn more than twelve months ago and she says she hasn’t looked back at their decision to build with Hamlan and sees a great benefit of using renewable energy.
“Choosing to build with Hamlan was an easy decision for us, especially with the inclusion of solar panels and a battery. We are super happy with our solar and batteries, and it has been a huge positive aspect of our home-building experience.”
“One of the significant benefits we’ve noticed is the impact on our electric bill. It’s much more manageable, and the added security of the battery kicking in during power outages has been a lifesaver.”
“On certain days, we are completely self-reliant with all our power coming from the solar panels. It’s a great feeling to know that our home is equipped with such an efficient and sustainable energy system.”
“Looking ahead, we plan to get an electric car, and having the battery already installed by Hamlan makes this transition less daunting. It aligns perfectly with our goal of embracing more eco-friendly practices.”
“Overall, our experience with the solar and battery system has made us super happy. Being a little more environmentally friendly not only adds to our happiness but also gives us a sense of fulfillment, knowing that we’re ‘doing our bit’ for the planet.”
What system comes standard with a Hamlan home?
As part of the Hamlan standard inclusions, all our homes come with a 6.6kW system, which includes solar panels, solar edge inverter and the Tesla Powerwall with backup.
The energy you generate but don’t use during the day is now efficiently stored in your Tesla Powerwall, which holds enough power to run an average house in the evening.
