Roadmap to Full Home Electrification: Step‑by‑Step
As energy prices rise and climate concerns grow, more Australian households are shifting toward full home electrification. At iStore, we’re proud to support this sustainable transformation with our range of smart, efficient technologies. From harnessing the sun to charging your EV, here’s your step-by-step guide to building a fully electric, energy-independent home.
☀️ Step 1: Install Rooftop Solar Panels
The journey starts at the top—literally. Rooftop solar is the foundation of an electrified home. iStore’s high-performance solar panel systems capture clean, renewable energy directly from the sun, reducing your reliance on the grid and cutting your power bills significantly.
Pairing solar panels with an iStore Hybrid Inverter allows you to seamlessly convert solar energy into usable electricity, while also supporting battery integration for future-proof flexibility.
🔋 Step 2: Add a Solar Battery for Backup and Storage
Solar production peaks during the day—but your energy needs don’t. That’s where the iStore Battery 5000 comes in. With stackable modules ranging from 5kWh to 30kWh, you can customise your home’s energy storage based on your lifestyle and usage.
Our batteries use lithium iron phosphate (LFP) chemistry—safer, longer-lasting, and better for the environment than traditional lithium-ion. With stored solar power on hand, you’ll enjoy uninterrupted supply during the night or during power outages, increasing your energy independence and peace of mind.
💧 Step 3: Switch to a Solar Hot Water Heat Pump
Next, tackle one of the largest energy consumers in your home—hot water. The iStore 270L or 180L Heat Pump systems use up to 75% less electricity than conventional water heaters, drawing warmth from the surrounding air instead of relying solely on the grid.
Better yet, these smart systems can be programmed to heat during peak solar hours, maximising your free energy and reducing household emissions.
⚡ Step 4: Install an EV Charger at Home
Already have an electric vehicle—or thinking about one? The final step in the electrification roadmap is to install an iStore EV Charger, powered by your own solar system.
Charging at home not only saves time but also reduces your fuel costs and carbon footprint. Plus, when you charge your EV using solar energy, you’re truly driving on sunshine.
