The Stiebel Eltron SHP-O 300 Plus is a premium 300L heat pump hot water system designed for larger domestic hot water demand using ambient air heat. With R290 refrigerant, app control through the MyStiebel App, solar PV compatibility, a 10A power connection requirement and a 4.21 COP rating under EN16147 / A20 testing, it is a strong option for households wanting a larger modern heat pump alternative to a standard electric storage hot water system.
About the Stiebel Eltron SHP-O 300 Plus 300L
The Stiebel Eltron SHP-O 300 Plus uses heat pump technology to draw heat from the surrounding air and transfer it into stored hot water. This can reduce reliance on direct electric element heating compared with a standard electric storage system, while still using an integrated auxiliary heater when required.
The 300L capacity is suited to larger households, families, higher hot water usage homes and properties wanting more stored hot water capacity than the 200L model, depending on shower flow rates, tariff setup, climate, recovery requirements and installation conditions.
This model uses R290 refrigerant, includes Wi-Fi app control through the MyStiebel App and can integrate with solar PV systems using SG Ready functionality to help optimise self-generated electricity use where suitable.

Heat Pump Storage Hot Water
The Stiebel Eltron SHP-O 300 Plus stores hot water in a 300L cylinder and uses heat pump technology to heat the water efficiently.
Unlike a standard electric storage hot water system that relies mainly on direct electric element heating, a heat pump uses surrounding air as the main heat source. This can make it a strong option for customers wanting a larger electric hot water upgrade, especially where the site is suitable and the unit is installed correctly.
Efficient Heat Pump Hot Water
The SHP-O 300 Plus has a listed COP of 4.21 under EN16147 / A20 testing. COP is a laboratory efficiency measure that compares heat output to electrical input under set test conditions.
Real-world performance depends on ambient temperature, hot water usage, installation location, airflow, settings, tariff setup and whether the auxiliary heater is used.
R290 Refrigerant
The Stiebel Eltron SHP-O 300 Plus uses R290 refrigerant, also known as propane. R290 is a natural refrigerant with low global warming potential.
Because R290 is flammable, refrigeration-related work must be carried out by appropriately qualified contractors. Normal plumbing and electrical installation requirements still apply.
Built-In Wi-Fi Control
The SHP-O 300 Plus can be connected to the MyStiebel App, allowing the customer to monitor and control hot water settings from a smartphone or tablet.
The app can support features such as temperature adjustment, timer functions, hot water boost and system monitoring, depending on setup and connectivity.
Solar PV Compatibility
The Stiebel Eltron SHP-O 300 Plus is solar PV compatible using SG Ready functionality. This can help the unit operate in a way that better uses self-generated solar electricity where the home has a suitable solar PV system and the installation is configured correctly.
Solar PV integration depends on the electrical setup, system configuration and installer requirements.
Off-Peak Operation Option
The timer functionality available through the app can help customers manage when the system operates.
This may be useful for homes trying to align hot water heating with solar production, daytime operation or suitable electricity tariff windows. Actual running costs depend on energy rates, settings, usage and household conditions.
Multiple Operating Modes
The SHP-O 300 Plus includes controls for boost, pairing and emergency operation. Status LEDs make operation easier to monitor at the unit.
The smart control setup gives customers practical options for everyday use while still keeping the system simple to operate.
Electric Boost Element
The unit includes a 1.5 kW auxiliary heater. This can support hot water recovery when needed, such as during higher demand or cooler operating conditions.
The auxiliary heater should not be treated as the main efficiency feature. The heat pump is designed to use ambient air heat as the primary heat source where conditions allow.
Plug or Hardwired Electrical Requirement
The Stiebel Eltron SHP-O 300 Plus requires a 1/N/PE 220–240 V 50 Hz power supply and only a 10A connection is required according to Stiebel Eltron’s product information.
Electrical work, power point changes, circuit changes or compliance upgrades are not included unless selected or arranged separately.
Auto Hygiene Function
The SHP-O 300 Plus includes an automatic hygiene function to help maintain water quality.
This is a useful feature for stored hot water systems, especially where the system is being managed through programmed operation or lower-energy running patterns.
Quiet Operation
The Stiebel Eltron SHP-O 300 Plus has a listed sound pressure level of 47 dB(A) at 2 m. It is designed for quiet operation, with no compressor noise in the airflow and optimised recirculation air mode.
Noise impact still depends on the installation location, surrounding walls, nearby windows, fences, acoustic reflections and local site conditions.
Indoor or Outdoor Installation
The SHP-O 300 Plus can be installed indoors or outdoors where suitable. Indoor installation requires appropriate room volume and ventilation, while outdoor installation requires correct clearances around the grille and suitable weather, drainage and service access conditions.
Stiebel Eltron lists a minimum indoor space requirement of 13m³ and an outdoor clearance requirement of 500 mm either side of the grille. The installation guide should be checked before ordering or installation.
Water Pressure and PLV Requirements
Water pressure must be checked before installation. The SHP-O 300 Plus has a listed PTR valve setting of 850 kPa, and a pressure limiting valve may be required depending on the property’s incoming water pressure, the selected valve kit and the installation requirements.
High water pressure, missing valves or non-compliant existing pipework can affect installation scope and final cost.
Drainage and Condensate Requirements
Heat pumps produce condensate during operation. The installation location must allow suitable condensate drainage in addition to standard hot water system safety valve discharge requirements.
Drainage changes are not included unless selected or arranged as part of the installation package.
STCs and Government Incentives
Heat pump hot water systems may be eligible for STCs or government incentives depending on the product, installation date, location and program rules.
Eligibility, rebate value and availability can change. Any incentive should be checked before purchase and should not be treated as guaranteed unless confirmed as part of the checkout or installation process.
Clearance Requirements
Correct airflow is critical for heat pump performance. The SHP-O 300 Plus needs suitable installation clearance so the unit can draw and discharge air properly.
Poor airflow, tight enclosures, blocked grilles or unsuitable indoor spaces can reduce performance and may make the installation non-compliant or unsuitable.
Stiebel Eltron SHP-O 200 Plus vs SHP-O 300 Plus
The Stiebel Eltron SHP-O 200 Plus is the smaller 200L model, while the SHP-O 300 Plus is the larger 300L model.
The 200L model may suit smaller to medium households with moderate hot water usage. The 300L model may be better for larger households, higher usage, multiple bathrooms or homes wanting more stored hot water capacity.
The right size depends on the number of people in the home, shower habits, fixture flow rates, tariff setup, recovery requirements, available space and whether the home wants to maximise heat pump operation during solar production windows.
Stiebel Eltron SHP-O Plus vs SHP-O Premium
The SHP-O 300 Plus is part of the SHP-O Plus range and is suited to many standard Australian climate zones.
The SHP-O Premium range includes active defrost and is designed for broader climate suitability, including very cold climates. For Brisbane and Gold Coast homes, the SHP-O 300 Plus may suit many properties, but installation location, airflow, local conditions and operating requirements should still be checked before purchase.
Stiebel Eltron SHP-O vs Standard Electric Storage
A standard electric storage system uses an electric element to heat water directly. The Stiebel Eltron SHP-O 300 Plus uses heat pump technology to draw heat from the surrounding air, with an auxiliary element available when required.
The SHP-O 300 Plus may be a better option for customers wanting a larger, more efficient electric hot water upgrade with app control and solar PV compatibility. A standard electric storage system may still suit customers wanting a simpler lower upfront cost replacement where heat pump space, airflow, noise, drainage or electrical requirements are not suitable.
