The Solahart PowerStore also has the ability to tell the external control device the amount of hot water available at any time, enabling it to be used as a key component in a sophisticated home energy management system (HEMS) provided by a third party service provider. - Page 8 HOW YOUR WATER HEATER WORKS The Solahart PowerStore has inbuilt protection against running low on hot water and will also maintain a fixed minimum water temperature as a safety and compliance requirement. During periods when there is no excess power from solar PV generation and heating of the water is required, electricity from the utility grid will be used to ensure the availability of hot water.
