Air-to-energy technology

How an iStore heat pump turns air into hot water.

Instead of generating heat directly, an iStore heat pump captures renewable heat energy from the surrounding air and transfers it into the water stored inside the tank.

  1. 01

    Draws in ambient air

    A quiet fan draws surrounding air across the system’s evaporator.

  2. 02

    Concentrates the heat

    The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air before the compressor raises its temperature.

  3. 03

    Transfers heat into the tank

    The heated refrigerant moves through the condenser, transferring thermal energy into the stored water.

  4. 04

    Repeats the efficient cycle

    The refrigerant returns to its liquid state and the process continues until the target temperature is reached.

High-output performance

The power of 4kW+.

Heating capacity determines how quickly a heat pump can replace the hot water your household uses. More output means faster recovery after showers, baths and periods of heavy demand.

The iStore advantage
4kW+
High heating output Designed for faster recovery

More heating power puts hot water back into the tank sooner.

While many standard heat pumps operate at approximately 2.0kW–2.8kW, iStore’s higher heating output helps restore tank temperature faster and keep up with busy household demand.

  • Faster recovery after heavy hot water use
  • Better suited to back-to-back showers
  • Less time spent reheating the tank
  • Strong performance during family peak demand

Australian home using an iStore heat pump with rooftop solar power
Store solar as hot water Convert daytime solar generation into useful thermal energy.
The ultimate thermal battery

Turn excess rooftop solar into stored hot water.

Pairing an iStore heat pump with rooftop solar helps you use more of the energy your home generates and less electricity from the grid.

Instead of exporting excess daytime solar for a low feed-in tariff, schedule your heat pump to operate during peak solar generation and store that energy inside the hot water tank for use later.

Smart scheduling Program heating during your strongest daytime solar window.
Use more solar at home Redirect excess generation into an essential household service.
Thermal energy storage Keep solar-generated heat stored inside the insulated tank.
Reduce grid demand Limit water heating during more expensive evening periods.
75–85%
less grid electricity* When combining ambient-air heat with suitable rooftop solar generation.

*Actual grid-energy reduction varies according to solar-system size, generation profile, household hot water use, heat-pump scheduling, tariffs, climate and operating conditions.
