Solar and EV-Ready Homes at Harlow Lifestyle
Intro

With fuel and energy costs continuing to rise, more people are thinking about how their home can help reduce everyday expenses. At Harlow Lifestyle Village, that thinking is already part of the design, with features like solar panels and EV charging ready homes built in from the start.

Harlow homes are designed to help you enjoy a more cost-effective way of living, with all the comfort you’d expect.

LOWER RUNNING COSTS, MORE FINANCIAL FREEDOM

Each home at Harlow includes a thoughtfully designed solar system, helping to reduce ongoing power costs while also supporting a more environmentally conscious way of living.

These systems feature high-efficiency 440W TW Solar panels, paired with a Solis inverter, working together to generate and convert solar energy into usable power for your home. 

TW Solar is one of the world’s leading solar panel manufacturers, with panels designed for long-term performance. These systems come with 25-year product and 30-year performance warranties, giving you added confidence in their long-term reliability. 

Solar panels allow you to generate your ownpower, meaning less reliance on your electricity provider and the potential for lower electricity bills. Over time, this can make a meaningful difference to your overall cost of living, leaving you with more budget to spend on the things you enjoy.

Here’s what some of our residents have to say about their Harlow homes:

“Our expenses have been greatly reduced with the solar panels, power buy back, only paying for contents insurance, lower rates, no maintenance, lawns, gardens and external cleaning of our villa taken care of.”
– Bill & Pam, Harlow Residents


“It’s warm, it’s cosy. I like the fact that it’s got the solar panels… I’d recommend it.”
– Gerard, Harlow Resident

READY FOR THE SHIFT TO ELECTRIC

As more New Zealanders make the move to electric vehicles, having access to EV charging at home is becoming increasingly important.

At Harlow, our homes are designed to support this shift, giving you the convenience of charging your vehicle where you live, without needing to rely on public charging stations.

It’s a simple addition that helps future-proof your home while offering more flexibility in how you get around.

LOOKING AHEAD
