ELECTRIC HOMES
FUTURE PROOF YOUR BIGGEST INVESTMENT
Since our inception in 1989, we have always prided ourselves on pioneering and delivering innovation and affordability in the Australian housing industry.
As gas shortages and soaring energy prices dominate the news headlines today, I proudly reflect back to when we took our very first climate change step over 20 years ago, when we were the first ‘volume’ builder to introduce a five-star energy rating policy for all our homes; well before it was mandated by the Victorian Government - four years after it was our “standard”.
Our passion and commitment to sustainability and innovation has driven our company forward, and I am excited to announce another step in making a positive difference that will lead the industry in addressing climate change for today’s home buyers and importantly for future generations.
So what have we done?
We have partnered with some of the world’s leading brands and climate change minds to bring you another first - the introduction of our ‘All Electric Solar Powered homes’, meaning we now offer electric heating, air con, induction cooking & electric hot water system plus solar panels.
With the help of Sustainability Victoria and their Whole-of-Home Pilot Tool, our New Home Consultants can show you how to save up to 70% on your energy bills by going all electric solar powered, rather than gas and electric.
We are grateful to be building every single home that is entrusted to us because we know it’s such a significant milestone for you and it’s always the start of a new chapter. If you haven’t decided to build with us yet, when you do your research, I encourage you to ask other builders:
Can we see your upgrade costs like we can see Henley’s?
Do you have thousands of already drawn and priced floorplan options to choose from like Henley?
What’s included in your advertised price?
Are you acting on climate change and helping me save up to 70% on my energy bills by offering ‘All Electric Solar Powered’ homes?
How much choice do we get to personalise our home that doesn’t cost me extra?
How many building inspections do you complete? Henley completes 8 quality inspections.
Can you weather any financial storm like Henley can?
We have the financial backing of a 330-year company - Sumitomo Forestry Group, which is why we are able to confidently and continually invest in innovation and affordability, and can provide absolute certainty for our customers.
On behalf of the entire team, we look forward to welcoming you to the club of proud Henley home owners.
Yours Sincerely
Antony Blackshaw CEO - Henley HomesSolar All Electric Homes

SUPPLIER SPOTLIGHT
We have partnered with AGL Energy to deliver 390W JA Solar Systems as standard across all our Essence, Collection & Reserve homes. The JA Solar System uses halfcell modules, literally normal solar cells that have been cut in half. Instead of having 60 solar cells, as most panels put on roofs do, they have 120 half-sized ones. This results in lower electrical resistance that improves efficiency. Half cut panels also resist the effects of shade better than standard solar panels. This isn’t directly due to the cells being cut in half but because of the way they are wired together.
WHY JA?
Assembled with multi-busbar PERC cells, the half-cell configuration of the modules offers the advantages of higher power output, better temperature-dependent performance, reduced shading effect on energy generation, lower risk of hot spot, as well as enhanced tolerance for mechanical loading.

Jargon Buster
Kilowatts (kW): System size equals kW. System output equals kWh. Example: my 4.68kW solar system generates on average 16.94kWh of electricity per day in Melbourne.
String inverters: This is the most common type of inverter for residential use. Most solar inverters (apart from Enphase) are string inverters. On a residential solar power system you generally have one per installation. It is called a string inverter because you connect strings of solar panels to it. These are wallmounted, usually close to your meter box.
Micro Inverters: Where each solar panel has its own integrated optimiser and inverter attached on each individual solar panel, on the roof. If one panel stops working the Enphase system isolates the ‘weak panel’ and the entire system continues working. A micro inverter takes all the functions of a string inverter and miniaturise it to solar panel level.
Hybrid Inverters: enable you to plug compatible batteries into your solar power system. The Hybrid Inverter interfaces with the battery using a technique called ‘DC coupling‘, and its electronics coordinate the charging and discharging of the battery.
The Photovoltaic Effect: is a process that generates voltage or electric current in a photovoltaic cell when it is exposed to sunlight. It is this effect that makes solar panels useful, as it is how the cells within the panel convert sunlight to electrical energy.
For your hot water we have partnered with Stiebel-Eltron as the Stiebel Eltron ‘WWK’ hot water heat pump is proving to be one of the most efficient water pumps on the market providing high energy cost savings and environmentally friendly hot water all year round. This hot water heat pump technology has been tried and tested in Germany for over forty years to ensure consumers receive real energy, environmental and money savings.

SMARTER POWER
Enphase systems are smart enough to update themselves automatically over the internet to receive the latest software and new features.
BATTERY-READY
BETTER PERFORMANCE
Unlike traditional string inverter systems, Enphase Solar features independently functioning microinverters under each panel. This means a problem with one panel doesn’t impact the performance of the others. So, if one panel slips into the shade or experiences a rare glitch, the other panels can keep operating at peak performance.
GREATER SAFETY
The microinverter design of Enphase Solar is inherently safer than most other solar technology due to the system not containing high-voltage DC power. Plus, Enphase Solar includes built-in Rapid Shutdown so that, in the event of an emergency, your solar power can be turned off instantly and easily, keeping tradespeople and first responders safe.
The grid-agnostic Enphase IQ Battery is designed to perfectly integrate with your Enphase Solar system, making upgrading easy. With the Enphase IQ Battery, you can bank the power you make and use it anytime, day or night, rain or shine – for even greater savings or to keep the lights on if the grid goes down.
Enphase Batteries use lithium iron phosphate chemistry, which means they are safer, last longer, and cost less than NMC alternatives. Because the Enphase IQ Battery is modular by design, you can start small and easily grow your system over time.
AS TOUGH AS SOLAR GETS
Enphase Microinverters can last up to three times longer than traditional string inverter systems and are backed by a 10 year limited warranty, extendable to 15, 20, and 25 years. Plus, Enphase Microinverters are IP67-certified - which is just a technical way of saying that they can endure almost anything Mother Nature sends their way.
THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT WITH ENPHASE ON YOUR ROOF
Enphase Microinverters feature a modular design so you can easily expand the system as your energy needs evolve. Having this level of solar power flexibility is critical to ensure your investment in all-electric living is futureproof.
