Maximise Solar Efficiency with iStore's Innovative Inverters

Going solar puts the sun to work for you, cutting costs and boosting your home’s energy game.

But installing solar panels is just the first step.

To really utilise the sun’s power, you need an iStore hybrid solar inverter working behind the scenes. This ingenious system runs your home and stores extra energy, so you get the most out of every sunny day and have energy ready for not-so-sunny days!

It’s a smart way to maximise solar energy, reduce your energy bills, and keep your home running day or night, rain or shine.

What Does a Solar Inverter Do?

A standard solar inverter converts the DC (direct current) electricity produced by solar panels into AC (alternating current) electricity for a home’s use. It cannot store energy—it simply manages the power as it's being generated and used.

A hybrid solar inverter, like those from iStore, does everything a regular inverter does, but with an added feature. A hybrid inverter allows you to DC couple a battery at any point. This is a very cost effective and efficient way to purchase a battery system for additional storage. Our inverters can also be AC coupled with a non-istore inverter to add an iStore battery.

Explore Our Solar Inverter Models

5000/6000 1 PH

The hybrid inverter 5000/6000 1PH is ideal for residential homes, featuring

1. 2 x MPPT: Maximum Power Point Tracking is a technology that tracks and adjusts solar panels to operate at their maximum power point for optimal energy efficiency.
2. 1-phase grid connection: Connecting to a single-phase power grid, which is commonly used in most homes.
3. Battery ready: Prepared to connect to a battery so you can store excess solar energy for later use, even during grid outages or peak demand periods.
4. IP65 protection rating: The highest rating for ingress protection, meaning this inverter is dust-tight and protected against water jets. This is important for the longevity of your system, especially in the sometimes-harsh Aussie weather.

5000/6000 3 PH

The hybrid inverter 5000/6000 3 PH is also suitable for residential homes.

As well as the same features of the 1 PH model, you’ll find

3-phase grid connection: Handling more power and distributing it evenly across your home to reduce strain on the system. Especially useful for larger homes or properties with high energy use.

29900/40000 3 PH

The inverter 29900/40000 3 PH is for commercial solar applications.

Along with 4 x MPPT and a 3-phase grid connection, it features

1. 8-strings intelligent monitoring: Tracking up to 8 separate groups of solar panels, checking each group is working at its best.
2. Power Line Communication (PLC): Allowing the inverter to send data over existing power lines, so no extra wiring is needed to monitor and control the system remotely.
3. Smart I-V curve diagnosis support: Automatically checks the performance of your solar panels to detect any issues early and keep the system running smoothly.

FAQs

What Does a Solar Power Inverter Do?

A solar power inverter converts the direct current (DC) electricity generated by solar panels into usable alternating current (AC) electricity.

What Size Inverter Do I Need for My Solar Power System?

Typically, the inverter's capacity should match or be slightly less than the total wattage of your solar panels. For example, a 5 kW solar system would need a 5 kW inverter.

Are iStore Inverters Compatible With All Solar Panels?

iStore inverters are designed to be compatible with most standard solar panels on the market, making them versatile and easy to integrate into various solar setups.

Can Solar Inverters Be Upgraded?

If you add more solar panels or install a battery to store extra energy, your current inverter might not be large enough to handle the additional load. In that case, you should be able to upgrade to a bigger inverter or a hybrid inverter depending on your DNSP’s approval.
