With scalable storage options ranging from 5kWh to 30kWh, you can customise your system to match your household’s energy needs and easily upgrade your battery in the future. The iStore Smart Battery has been engineered for safety and durability, featuring four layers of protection it is suitable for outdoor installation. The iStore battery can easily be integrated with your existing solar panels to improve your household’s solar system.
iStore is an Australian-owned, family-run company with over 25 years of experience in home energy solutions.
A Convenient And Scalable Energy Investment
Start small and expand later – The iStore Smart Battery is a modular system that can be easily upgraded at any time. Each battery module has a power capacity of 5kWh and up to six modules can be integrated to create a solar battery of up to 30kWh. Match the size of the battery to your household’s energy usage needs, or avoid a costly upfront investment by choosing a product that makes upgrading your solar system convenient later on.
How it works:
Up to three 5kWh modules can be stacked on top of each other to create a 15kWh battery tower, and two battery towers can be combined to create a 30kWh system. Each battery tower requires a Battery Management System (BMS), which is the modular component that is placed at the top of the tower.
Advanced Safety And Reliable Performance
The safety and longevity of your household solar battery is what makes the investment worth it. The iStore Smart Battery has been optimised with four layers of safety protection that will keep your solar system up and running with endurance.
- LFP Battery
The iStore battery uses lithium-iron phosphate (LFP) technology, which is known for its advanced safety due to its stable composition and reduced risk of overheating.
- Temperature Sensors
Each module has eight sensors that actively monitor the battery’s temperature, adjusting the battery’s load to prevent overheating.
- Built-In Fire Extinguisher
Each module has a built-in automatic extinguisher that can quickly put out a fire in the unlikely event of an emergency.
- IP66 Protection Rating
The iStore battery uses protective, durable, weatherproof materials in its casing, and has an IP66 protection rating. This means it has strong protection against dust and high-pressure levels of water, making the battery suitable for outdoor installation.
High-Efficiency Power With Minimal Waste
Get more out of your investment. The iStore Solar Battery offers over 10% more usable energy throughout its lifetime.* Most batteries will degrade if they are drained past the 50% – 20% mark, leaving you with an inefficient solar system or a solar battery that’s rapidly degrading, however, iStore’s battery has a 100% depth of discharge (DoD), meaning it will not suffer from any degradation even if its charge is drained all the way down to 0%.
The iStore Solar Battery’s 100% DoD improves your household’s solar efficiency and provides a product that has a longer lifespan, further reducing electricity costs and offering a more reliable household solar battery.
