Q: Why should I get an Aira Power Store?

Because it helps you get the most from your solar panels . Without a battery, any extra energy your panels produce goes straight back to the grid for a small return – and you end up buying it back later at a higher price. Adding an Aira Power Store brings all the solar battery benefits: you can keep your free energy for when you need it most, like evenings when electricity prices peak. And with Aira Intelligence , your system automatically optimises when to use, store, or sell energy, making your battery for your solar system work as efficiently as possible. Meaning less reliance on the grid. And one big step closer to energy independence. The Power Store is also fully tested and certified to strict international safety standards, including Battery safety IEC 62619, EMC EN61000-6-1, RESS VDE2510-50, and Battery Regulation 2023/1542. It also has a high IP rating, so it’s well protected against the elements. Every system is put through thorough testing to make sure it’s safe, reliable, and built to last.

Question 2

Can I add an Aira Power Store later, after I’ve installed my solar panels?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can add a battery to your solar system later. But installing both at the same time is usually more cost-effective, and it means we can design your system perfectly from the start.

When we do it all together, Aira Intelligence can optimise how your home generates, stores, and uses energy right away. Everything connects seamlessly, looks beautifully integrated, and works in complete harmony for maximum efficiency.

Question 3

How long does it take to fully charge the Aira Power Store?

Accepted Answer

Your Aira Power Store is designed to charge fast. And last for years. It could fully charge in as little as an hour, but we’ve built it to protect its long-term health by charging at a steadier rate.

Most days, it’ll top up gradually as your solar panels produce energy, while Aira Intelligence decides the best times to power your home or sell energy back to the grid. And when you need it most, it can fully recharge in under two hours.

Question 4

Can I expand my Power Store system later?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can. Your Aira Power Store is an expandable home battery, so you can add extra stacks (individual Power Store units) later. While you can’t add modules to an existing unit, each new stack connects seamlessly with your current setup, so your home’s energy storage can grow right alongside you.

Question 5

How long will my Aira Power Store last?

Accepted Answer

Your Aira Power Store is built to last. Like all batteries, it has a natural lifespan. But our smart design and built-in protections make sure it runs in the best possible conditions. So when it’s installed and cared for properly, your Power Store is made to outlast your 10-Year Aira Guarantee.

Question 6

What's the best place to install the Power Store. Inside or outside?

Accepted Answer

Your Aira Power Store is a tough lithium iron phosphate battery designed to handle extreme temperatures. Like -20°C to +55°C extreme. It even auto-adjusts how it charges and discharges to protect performance, safety, and lifespan.

That said, the sweet spot is indoors. Why? Because direct sunlight, rain and snow can affect performance. And, a steady, room temperature keeps your battery happy and performing at its best for years to come.

So, can solar batteries be installed outside? Yes, they can – and the Power Store is built to cope – but if you have the option, installing inside is ideal. Either way, our installation team will make sure it’s set up safely and efficiently.

Question 7

Is the Aira Power Store compatible with island mode for power cuts?

Accepted Answer

Not right now. The Aira Power Store has future-ready hardware designed in a way that could support features like island mode – where your home can run independently from the grid during a power cut.

But it isn’t compatible today. Island mode would need new software and extra kit, which aren’t part of the current system or installation.

Question 8

The Power Store comes with an Energy Storage Optimiser (ESO). What does it do?

Accepted Answer

Think of the Energy Storage Optimiser as the link between your Aira Power Store and the rest of your home energy system. It makes sure the energy stored in your battery flows smoothly and efficiently throughout your home.

The ESO takes the variable voltage from your Power Store and converts it into a stable voltage your system can use – keeping everything running efficiently and safely. It’s a key part of your home’s battery energy optimisation, ensuring your stored solar energy is always delivered at the right voltage for maximum energy optimisation and performance.

In short, it’s what keeps your battery optimisation running perfectly. So every bit of stored energy works harder for you.

Question 9

The Power Store runs on lithium iron phosphate. What does this mean? And is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) is the type of battery chemistry inside your Power Store. In simple terms, it’s made from iron and phosphate, which makes it very stable and reliable and much less likely to overheat or catch fire than other home batteries.

That means it’s safe to have inside – or outside – your home, while still delivering industry-leading performance for years to come.

Question 10

How does the Power Store protect itself from overheating?

Accepted Answer

Your Power Store is built to look after itself. Every device is equipped with a smart Battery Management System (BMS), which constantly monitors temperature, voltage, and power flow. If something's not right, it automatically adjusts or shuts down your Power Store to keep things safe.

On top of that, because it runs on lithium iron phosphate (LFP), its chemistry is naturally stable compared to other home batteries.
