Battery Mode allows the heat pump to operate from a battery bank, providing heating and cooling even when solar energy is unavailable. Depending on your configuration, the system can operate completely off-grid or as part of an existing solar and battery installation.

Battery Mode is ideal for off-grid homes, cabins, cottages, tiny homes, and applications where heating and cooling are required both day and night without utility power grid access.

Not necessarily. If you already have a battery and inverter system, the heat pump can operate from your existing setup. However, adding dedicated solar panels can help recharge the batteries and reduce overall energy consumption.

It depends on your battery system.

48V battery systems can connect directly to the heat pump using our DC Booster.

Battery systems operating at other voltages typically require an inverter.

Yes. If you already have a battery bank installed, the questionnaire will help determine whether it is compatible and what additional components may be required.

The required battery capacity depends on the heat pump size and the number of hours of operation you want during periods without sunlight. A minimum of 5kWh would be required. Greater autonomy requires a larger battery bank.

For battery-based systems, we generally recommend:

• 12,000 BTU model: Minimum 2,000 W of solar panels
• 18,000 BTU model: Minimum 2,500 W of solar panels

The right array size depends on your location, climate, solar exposure, battery capacity, and desired level of autonomy.

Yes. If your battery system already uses an inverter, you may also add dedicated solar panels directly to the heat pump's DC input to maximize solar utilization and reduce the load on your battery bank.

Proper electrical protection is essential for safe operation. Typical components include disconnect switches, circuit breakers, fuses, and surge protection devices (SPD) for the solar array and battery system.

DC surge protectors (SPD) and circuit breakers are essential safety components and are required to activate and maintain the 5-year limited warranty.

We do not perform installations directly, but we work with certified HVAC installers across North America. You can browse our Installer Locator page or contact us for help finding a qualified installer in your area.

Please note that installation by a certified HVAC technician is required to qualify for the 5-year limited warranty.

The system design tool automatically includes the core components required for your selected configuration and an installation diagram to guide installers through the recommended setup and supplied components.
