How the iStore Backup Box Protects Your Home In A Storm
Fed up with energy blackouts? From Cyclone Alfred in Queensland to pole-top fires in WA loosing power isn't much fun. When you install an iStore backup box, loosing power isn't such a big concern. In fact, you can be keeping your fridge/freezer running, keeping your lights on and all while enjoying the TV- and perhaps invite the neighbours round to join the fun!
The iStore Backup Box protects your home appliances by ensuring a continuous power supply on essential circuits during outages. To use the Backup Box you need to have a Huawei or iStore solar inverter and battery (or plan to add an iStore inverter and battery). The backup box will then isolate your home from the grid in the event of an energy blackout to keep your essentials running.
As the iStore inverter is a hybrid inverter, not only will you be able to power your home from your rooftop solar during a power outage, you'll be able to store excess solar energy in your battery for use in the evening!

Do I need to install the backup box at the same time as iStore's inverter and battery?
Whilst it is easiest to install your backup box at the same time as your solar inverter and battery, the backup box may be installed retrospectively without any issues.
Why Choose the iStore Backup Box?
1. Seamless Integration with Solar Systems: It integrates seamlessly with Huawei and iStore solar inverter and battery ecosystems. In a power blackout, it will isolate from the grid and enable you to use solar to power your home in the day, and switch to your battery to power your home when the sun isn't shining. This maximises your solar investment and reduces reliance on the grid.
2. Reliable Backup Power: Power outages can be a major inconvenience. With the iStore Backup Box, you can rest easy knowing that your essential appliances will continue to run smoothly during blackouts. Whether it's keeping your lights on, your fridge running, or your devices charged, the iStore Backup Box has you covered.
3. Advanced Technology for Optimal Performance: Equipped with state-of-the-art technology, the iStore Backup Box offers high efficiency and long-lasting performance. Not only can you power your home from your rooftop solar during a power outage, you can simultaneously send excess solar to your battery for use during the evenings - keeping your lights on for much longer in a blackout.
4. Environmentally Friendly: By utilising stored solar energy, the iStore Backup Box helps reduce your carbon footprint as part of iStore's home electrification product suite - a sustainable choice that contributes to a greener future.
Here's how blackout protection works:
Uninterrupted Power Supply: When the grid goes down, the iStore Backup Box automatically switches to stored energy from your solar batteries. This ensures that essential circuits like lighting, refrigeration, communication systems, and security devices remain operational.
Grid Isolation: The system disconnects from the grid during an outage to prevent backfeeding electricity, which can be dangerous to utility workers repairing the grid.
Automatic Switching: The iStore Backup Box instantly switches between grid, solar, and battery power without manual intervention, ensuring a seamless transition and continuous power supply.
Efficient Energy Management: It efficiently manages the flow of electricity between your solar inverter, solar batteries, and the grid, maximizing the use of stored solar energy and reducing reliance on grid power.
By maintaining power to your essential appliances during outages, the iStore Backup Box helps prevent damage that can occur from sudden power loss and ensures your home remains functional and comfortable.
