Discover iStore Solar's Commitment to Renewable Energy
At iStore Solar, we’re proud to be an Australian-owned, family-run company with over 25 years of experience in the solar and water heating industries.
Our journey started with a single product: our heat pump. It quickly gained popularity and became a household name in the market. But we knew we had more to offer!
Our mission was, and still is, to help Aussie households achieve full home electrification in two important ways:
- Sustainably, to protect our beautiful planet.
- Self-sufficiency, to combat the rising costs of living.
In line with this mission, we expanded our product range to offer a complete selection of smart solar solutions: hybrid solar inverters, solar batteries, and energy monitoring devices.
We believe renewable energy isn’t just a choice—it’s a necessity. Together, we can harness Australia’s greatest natural asset, the sun, to power our homes and businesses for a brighter, better future.
Our Expertise and Innovations
We’ve combined our extensive industry knowledge with innovative technologies to bring you products of the highest quality.
Leading Solar Inverter and Battery Technologies
A standard solar inverter manages solar power as it's being generated and used. Our inverters go one massive step further.
While powering your home or business, the iStore hybrid solar inverter and battery simultaneously stores any extra solar energy generated during the day for later use, like at night or when it’s cloudy.
You’ll find the following innovative features in our residential inverters:
- User-friendly monitoring: Enabling real-time tracking and controlling of energy production and usage.
- Future capabilities: Compatible with the istore battery storage system, so your solar system is ready for potential expanded energy needs.
iStore solar batteries store extra solar energy in an iStore solar battery. That translates to reducing your carbon footprint and saving money on electricity costs!
What are their innovative features?
- Modular design: Built as separate, smaller units (modules), so you can easily add another battery block to your iStore solar battery to increase energy storage reserves.
- Expandable storage capacity: By adding these modules, batteries can scale from 5 kilowatt-hours to a whopping 30 kilowatt-hours of energy storage (or 60 KWH on the new 10-25kwh inverter range). An average Aussie home with four people uses around 22 kilowatt-hours a day, so our batteries have everyone's energy usage covered! Our modules are also individually optimised so you can expand at any time without the performance of your system being impacted.
Full depth of discharge: While some batteries only let you use 80–90% of their stored energy, the iStore solar battery offers 100% depth of discharge, maximising the battery’s usable energy over its lifespan.
Cutting-Edge Water Heating Solutions
iStore heat pumps extract thermal energy from air and use it to heat water.
Their cutting-edge features include:
- Advanced operating modes: Four modes that adapt to different situations to optimise energy usage, including a hybrid mode for when extra people are staying at your place and a vacation mode for when you’re away.
- Solar energy optimisation: When PV is installed, this offsets photovoltaic (PV) energy generated by your solar panels, which would otherwise be sent back to the grid, and using it to heat water, maximising the benefits of your solar system and helping you save even more money.
Smart automation: Automatically restarting the heating cycle once the temperature in the tank has dropped below 45°C, so you always have hot water.
Do you have a pool? With the iStore pool heater, you and your family can enjoy swimming all year round.
Our pool heater uses a titanium thread heat exchanger, which delivers 30% higher heating efficiency than standard heat exchangers. Because our heater transfers heat more effectively, it warms your pool faster while using less energy—saving you time and money!
Other innovative features include a user-friendly water temperature controller and a defrost function for stable water heating at -7°C ambient temperatures.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
We invite you to join us as we lead the way in the solar industry, harnessing the power of clean energy to positively impact our environment.
How do we achieve this? We work collaboratively with our suppliers to offer you the best Original Design Manufacturer products on the market that make the most of renewable solar energy.
What sustainability features can you expect within our product range?
- Energy efficiency: Our inverters maximise the amount of solar energy your system converts into usable power, so you rely less on fossil fuels to power your home or business.
- Reduced energy waste: Our batteries store excess solar energy which would otherwise go to waste, making the most of the energy your system generates.
Lowered carbon footprint: Our heat pumps use 75%–85% less electricity than traditional water heaters. They consume approximately only 500 watts of energy per hour during the heating process and can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 2.9 tonnes!
Our Commitment to Safety
Safety is a top priority for us. We’ve integrated safety features into our products so you can rest assured that your family or employees can enjoy solar power safely.
iStore solar inverters are equipped with AI-powered arc fault detection to identify and prevent electrical faults, like power surges, overheating, and grid issues.
Our lithium iron phosphate (LFP) solar battery has a built-in self-extinguishing component, plus LFP batteries are known for being safer and more stable than other lithium-ion batteries.
Our Product Range
We have customisable solutions for diverse energy needs.
Hybrid Solar Inverters
The iStore hybrid inverter 5000/6000 1PH connects to a single-phase power grid, commonly used in most homes, while the hybrid inverter 5000/6000 3 PH connects to a three-phase grid to handle more power in larger homes and properties with high energy use.
The inverter 29900/40000 3 PH for commercial solar applications can monitor up to eight separate solar panel groups, checking that each group is working at its best.
Solar Batteries
The iStore solar battery consists of stackable 50kg modules, each with a capacity of 5kWh (kilowatt-hours).
Connecting two modules creates a 10kWh battery, and connecting three modules gives you a 15kWh battery. For even more storage, connecting two sets of 15kWh batteries side by side achieves a maximum capacity of 30kWh.
Heat Pumps
We offer the PASRW-020, PASRW-030, and PASRW-040 pool heater models to suit pools from 40,000 to 70,000 litres in capacity.
FAQs
Is the iStore 180L or 270L Better?
That depends on your household size and hot water needs.
The iStore 180L heat pump is ideal for smaller households (2-3 people), while the 270L model is suitable for larger households (4-6 people).
What Is an iStore Hot Water System?
An iStore hot water system involves a heat pump that extracts thermal energy from air to efficiently heat water. This state-of-the-art technology significantly reduces energy consumption—up to 85% compared to traditional water heaters.
