Solar Hot Water System Installation (iStore & iHeat) in Mandurah

In Australia, heating hot water accounts for up to a quarter of our electricity costs.

What Is the iStore?

The iStore is a ground-mounted, highly dependable system. The iStore provides hot water throughout the year while also benefiting the environment by using thermal technology to convert air to energy and heating the water stored within the unit.

In fact, the iStore energy storage hot water system is one of the best value heat pumps on the market!

Compared to traditional electric or gas storage systems, the iStore cuts hot water heating usage by two-thirds while lowering CO2 emissions by four tonnes per year.

The maximum potential of the iStore is seen when the unit is used with a PV Solar system. The iStore then works by storing excess solar energy that has been generated and converting it into heat, which will see a drastic reduction in your electricity costs.

How Does the iStore Work?

Different to your roof-mounted solar hot water system, the iStore converts air to energy in the following steps:

  1. A fan draws air across the evaporator that contains heat energy.
  2. The evaporator converts the refrigerant from a liquid to a gas.
  3. The refrigerant is compressed into a heated gas by the compressor.
  4. The hot gas heats the water in the coil-wrapped tank inside the condenser coil.
  5. After heating the water, the refrigerant reverts to a liquid and travels to the evaporator, where the process begins again.
  6. The procedure repeats until the desired temperature is reached.

You are pairing your iStore with a solar system to maximise its potential. The built-in smart timer will offset any surplus power to the iStore, allowing you to save even more money.

What is the iHeat?

The popular and cost-effective iHeat hot water system uses a roof-mounted tank and two highly advanced solar panels to produce up to 80% of your hot water needs.

This well-known system uses the latest natural circulation technology and has no moving components or pumps, making it a low-maintenance and dependable operator.

Roof-mounted solar hot water systems provide an automated electric backup to help out on particularly cloudy days. This cost-effective and environmentally friendly roof-mounted system saves money and reduces pollution.

How Does the iHeat Work?

Roof-mounted solar hot water heaters from iHeat are typical close-coupled thermosiphon systems that combine roof-mounted solar collectors and storage tanks. This makes them perfect for applications where ground area is limited.

Roof-mounted systems are particularly efficient, as they circulate hot water from the collectors to the tank using natural thermal convection rather than electric pumps.

The electric boost heating element only turns on when the stored water temperature falls below a pre-set point, lowering your energy expenditures.
