Fox Ess Battery

FoxESS offers robust, high-performance battery systems that are efficient, modular, well-priced, and supported with solid warranties. Technical specs and real-world reviews show they’re great for Australian homes, especially when paired with local incentives. Potential trade-offs include some ecosystem lock-in and dependency on Fox app/inverter compatibility.

Fox ESS batteries are quickly gaining acceptance in the energy storage market due to their cutting-edge technology, high efficiency, and user-friendly design. One of the standout advantages of Fox ESS batteries is their use of Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry. This solar storage battery type is recognised for its brilliant safety, long lifespan, and sturdy thermal stability, which ensures consistent and steadfast performance over time.

These solar batteries are designed for high efficiency, offering outstanding charge and discharge rates, often with round-trip efficiencies of over 90%. This means homeowners and businesses can maximize the usage of their solar power generation, suggestively reducing their requirement on grid electricity and lowering their energy costs.

About FoxESS

The Fox ESS battery is a smart, scalable energy solution built for top performance. Thanks to its modular design, it’s flexible enough to suit a wide range of needs. Installation is simple with a plug-and-play system, and you can easily expand it—linking up to 18 units—to create reliable energy storage that grows with you.

Developed by some of the world’s leading experts in inverters and batteries, Fox ESS products combine advanced features with outstanding performance and long-term reliability.

Another chief advantage is their modular design. Fox ESS batteries are laidback to install and scale up, making them appropriate for a diversity of applications-from small residential systems to higher commercial setups. Users can add more solar battery modules as their energy requirements grow, without replacing the entire system. This flexibility adds long-term value and adaptableness.

The smart energy management system unified into Fox ESS batteries permits users to monitor and control their energy storage in real time through apps and online platforms. This gives larger visibility into energy consumption, battery status, and overall system performance. Progressive features such as time-of-use optimization and remote diagnostics further improve the user experience.

Every Review Has A Story, A Story of An Experience - Delivered

Excellent
We first had Solar Miner install our solar system back in 2018, before we even moved into our home, and I have to say it was incredible. The system has been running perfectly ever since and has given us years of reliable performance. Fast forward to 2025 and we decided to take advantage of the battery rebate and add a battery to the system. Once again, I cannot fault the installation itself. The crew that came out were fantastic, professional, and really knew their stuff. Everything was completed to a very high standard and we were very impressed with the final result.

For now, we have already seen a considerable improvement in our energy consumption and are no longer pulling from the grid, which has been an amazing change for our household.

Where I think Solar Miner could improve is in their approach to communication. While waiting for our funds to clear, despite already having paid a deposit, we were contacted no less than five times by different sales reps asking if we wanted solar or a battery installed. At one point it felt like we were being called every other day, even though the decision had already been made and we were simply waiting for the green light to proceed. On top of that, there have been repeated requests for this review.

To be clear, my five-star rating is for the installation team, because those guys really were excellent, both back in 2018 and again in 2025. The only suggestion I would give Solar Miner is to relax a little with the follow-ups. Your work and your service speak for themselves, and there’s no need to push so hard. Overall though, we are extremely happy customers and would happily recommend Solar Miner to anyone considering solar or battery storage.
The system wasn't generating power for the past few weeks, and NOW the inverter is fully functioning. Thanks to Malcom who has assisted us on solving the issue. We're very appreciative of your time and patience.

I recently needed assistance updating the control settings to enable my battery to charge from the grid during a specific 3-hour window when my energy provider offers free grid-to-home supply.
I referred to the documentation and attempted to update the settings in the Growatt Shine app but was unsuccessful.

In the end, I reached out to Solar Miner’s technical support for help.

Brett from the tech team quickly understood the issue and resolved it.

Not only did he fix the problem, but he also followed up with multiple calls and reminders to ensure everything was working smoothly with the updated settings.

Solar Miner truly exceeded my expectations in supporting me with this issue. Thank you, Brett, you were amazing! Keep up the excellent work.

Best,

I got 40kwh Growatt through Solar Miner.

When installing the battery, electrician face real problem, battery pack need 3m wide to satisfy the rules. My wall on switch board side has no 3m room as solar panel and electric hot water service already took the place. The first electrician gave this project up.

Thanks for Victor Stark, the project coordinator of Solar Miner, assigned another wonderful and charming electrician Kik finish the job by crossing 30m long cables throng underneath the house. Everyone is satisfied.

Thank you Solar Minor, sales Andy, coordinator Victor and Electrician Kik. I am 200% pleased to broadcast my recommendation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is the Cheaper Home Batteries Program?

This federal program offers a 30% discount on the purchase and installation of eligible small-scale battery systems when connected to new or existing rooftop solar panels. The rebate is available to homeowners, small businesses, and community facilities. Batteries must be between 5 kWh and 100 kWh in capacity, with the rebate applying to the first 50 kWh of usable capacity.

How Much Can You Save?

The rebate can significantly reduce the upfront cost of installing a battery system. For example:

  • 11–13 kWh systems: Approximately $4,000 off the installation cost.
  • 50 kWh systems: Up to $18,600 in savings.

These savings can help reduce your electricity bills by up to $1,100 annually for households with existing solar panels. If you’re installing both solar panels and a battery, the savings could be as high as $2,300 per year.

Eligibility Criteria?

To qualify for the rebate:

  • You must be a homeowner, small business owner, or part of a community facility.
  • The battery system must be installed alongside a new or existing rooftop solar system.
  • The battery must be listed on the Clean Energy Council’s approved list.
  • Installations must be carried out by approved installers.
  • Only one rebate per property is allowed.

The program is not means-tested, so it’s available to all eligible property owners.

How to Apply?
  1. Choose an Approved Installer: Select a Clean Energy Council-accredited installer who offers eligible battery systems.
  2. Get a Quote: Obtain a detailed quote that includes the cost of the battery system, installation, and any additional fees.
  3. Confirm Eligibility: Ensure the battery system is on the approved list and meets all program requirements.
  4. Apply for the Rebate: Your installer will assist you in applying for the rebate through the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES).
  5. Installation: Once approved, proceed with the installation of your battery system.
Important Considerations?
  • The rebate applies to new installations only.
  • Pre-installed batteries are eligible if they are turned on after July 1, 2025.
  • The rebate is non-transferable and can only be claimed once per property.
  • State-based incentives, such as Queensland’s Solar Battery Booster program, may also be available to further reduce costs.
