Battery warranties may vary depending on capacity and manufacturer.
The iStore hybrid inverter is designed so you can install solar now and add battery storage later. Why it matters: You get flexibility — you don’t need to commit to battery storage immediately, which helps manage upfront cost and future-proof your system.
It offers very high conversion efficiency (for example up to ~98.6% for some models) and uses multiple MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) inputs to optimise performance even when panels are partially shaded. Why it matters: More of the solar energy you generate is actually usable. That means better return on investment and less waste.
iStore provides an app/portal for real-time monitoring of generation, battery status, consumption and system health. Why it matters: You stay informed and can make smarter decisions (e.g., when to use or store energy). Also helps detect issues early.
The inverter includes AI-powered arc fault detection (AFCI), high ingress protection (IP65 or better), weather-resistant design, etc. PowerGrid Services Why it matters: Ensures the system is safer (reduces fire risk), more durable (better with outdoor installations / harsh conditions), and will require less maintenance or worry.
The hybrid nature means you can store excess solar power, use it when grid power is expensive or during outages. Why it matters: If your grid supply is unreliable or you want to reduce your reliance on the grid (and expensive peak tariffs), this gives you a strong advantage.
With support for higher PV oversizing (install more solar panels than basic spec), compatibility with modular batteries, and ability to scale system as needed. Why it matters: Your energy needs may grow (EVs, more appliances, etc). Having a system that can grow too means you won’t be forced into a full-replacement later.
Solar panels generate DC (Direct Current) electricity.
Your home cannot use DC directly, so it must be converted.
The hybrid inverter converts DC into AC (Alternating Current) power, which your home appliances use.
It also decides:
How much power goes to your home
How much goes to your battery
How much goes to the grid
When extra solar power is available, the hybrid inverter sends it to the battery to store energy for later.
This helps you use solar at night or during expensive peak hours.
At night or when solar is low:
The hybrid inverter uses stored battery power first
If battery is empty, then power comes from the grid
During a power outage, hybrid inverters (like iStore) can automatically switch to battery and keep essential loads running.
The hybrid inverter continuously monitors:
Solar production
Battery level
Home electricity usage
Grid availability
Then it automatically selects the most efficient and cheapest source of power.
Some smart features include:
Exporting solar to the grid
Limiting export if required by local rules
Smart app monitoring
Charging battery only when solar is extra

Our expert team handles everything — from design and installation to maintenance — ensuring your solar system performs at its best.
The installation begins with securing roof anchors, which act as the main support points for the solar panel mounts. Once anchors are fixed, the mounting structure is installed based on the roof type—tile, metal, or flat. These mounts form the foundation that holds the panels securely in place and maintains the correct angle for maximum sunlight exposure.
For homes in the Southern Hemisphere, such as in Australia, positioning panels toward the north ensures the best solar energy output throughout the year.
After the mounts are installed, the next step is connecting the electrical wiring. The setup can vary depending on your system design but generally involves connecting solar panels either in series or parallel.
Series connection: Positive (+) of one panel connects to the negative (-) of another, increasing voltage.
Parallel connection: Positive (+) terminals join together and negative (-) terminals join together, keeping voltage the same but increasing current.
Once the wiring is complete, the solar panels are connected to the inverter. This device converts DC power from the panels into AC power suitable for home use or grid supply.
For series wiring, the last panel’s positive terminal connects to the inverter’s positive input, and the first panel’s negative terminal connects to the inverter’s negative input.
For parallel wiring, the combined positive and negative lines are connected directly to the inverter’s respective inputs. This ensures stable and efficient power conversion for your electrical system.
After connecting the inverter, the next step is installing the solar battery. The battery’s positive terminal connects to the inverter’s positive terminal, and the negative connects to the inverter’s negative.
This allows energy storage for later use—especially useful during cloudy days, nighttime, or power outages. Solar batteries help you rely less on the grid and use more of your self-generated power, effectively lowering energy bills and providing reliable backup power.
The final step involves upgrading or configuring your electricity meter. Traditional analog meters can only measure total energy consumption, not how much solar power you export or import from the grid.
A smart meter enables accurate, real-time tracking of both solar energy production and usage. It allows you and your energy provider to measure exported energy, ensuring proper credit for the electricity you send back to the grid and optimizing your solar system’s efficiency.
