Air to Energy

As we shift toward the era of energy independence, with battery storage being the choice for clean power, the iStore offers a cost-effective storage solution as an alternative and reliable storage device.

Further maximise the full potential of the iStore by syncing it with a

solar power system, and the easy-to-use, built-in smart timer will

offset any excess power to the iStore, saving you even more.

How it works

The benefitsEconomical - The iStore boasts 4 intelligent operating modes adapting to all situations, including a hybrid mode for when additional guests are staying in your home and a vacation mode for when you are away on holidays.

Optimal design - External wrap around heating coil, which provides maximum thermal energy transfer.

Easy to install - The iStore is easy and quick to install.

Low consumption - The iStore consumes approximately 1000 W of energy per hour during the air-to-energy process (average household running cycle is 3-4 hours = 3000 / 4000 watts total).

Money & Energy savings - Heating water for the home accounts for up to 30 % of the total energy usage for the average Australian household. iStore can reduce CO2 emissions by 4 tonnes.

• The iStore is a thermal energy storage unit that stores your excess solar energy and transforms it into hot water for you to use when you need it.

• The iStore utilises intelligent technology to convert air into hot water.

• The iStore storage capacity could be compared to a 6 kW traditional battery system.

• Storing your excess PV energy is effectively like having a premium feed-in tariff. Rather than purchasing electricity from your retailer ($0.25 to $0.40), you can store the extra energy your system has produced into the iStore for later use.

MARKET LEADING COEFFICIENT OF PERFORMANCE (COP)

The coefficient of performance is a ratio used to measure the efficiency of electricity consumption vs heating output. The iStore has a COP of 4.1 which equates to 4 kW of heating output for every kW of energy consumed.

Based on a moderate 20 °C ambient temperature, the iStore performs flawlessly at a COP of 4.61.

COP

Setting up the user-friendly timer to run throughout the peak hours of solar PV generation provides amazing storage benefits.

Store your excess solar power into the iStore for usage within peak hours and get maximum return on investment for both your solar PV and iStore purchases.
