With soaring power prices, who wouldn’t want to go off the grid? Admittedly all the work required for shifting off-grid might require a chunk of your time. For those building new homes, integrating cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative energy options into their building plans might prove an advantage in the long run.

In Pimpama, a new community which is part of Halcyon’s flagship $250 million masterplanned development, is offering homes that are built to exceed energy-saving standards. Homeowners can also choose to include Tesla batteries in their homes.

Halcyon Greens is Australia’s very first over-50s golf and residential community. Home buyers can choose from a variety of luxurious home designs that are spacious and environmentally-friendly amidst natural wetlands, conservation zones, parklands, wildlife and Gainsborough Greens Golf Course. The homes are equipped with 3.5kW solar panels, which enables homeowners to go totally off-grid with the installation of Tesla Powerwall batteries.

This unique offering has proven popular among home buyers that are especially conscious of the financial and environmental implications of having alternative green energy options to traditional power.
