The Fox Solar Battery: A New Way to Store Solar Power in the UK
Solar power is a clean and renewable source of energy that can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help you to save money on your electricity bills. However, one of the main challenges of solar power is its intermittency: the sun does not shine all the time, and the amount of solar energy available from the sunlight varies depending on the weather, season, and time of day in the UK. This means that solar power users need a way to store excess solar energy for use when the sun is not shining. Enter the Fox solar battery.
One of the solutions to this problem is the Fox solar battery, a product of Fox ESS, a global leader in the development of solar inverter and solar energy storage solutions. The battery is a high-performance, scalable battery energy storage system that can store solar energy in a safe and efficient way. The battery can be used for both residential and commercial applications, and it offers several benefits for solar power users.
How does the Fox Solar Battery work?
The Fox solar battery works by connecting to a hybrid solar inverter, which is a device that can convert direct current (DC) from solar panels into alternating current (AC) for household or National Grid use, and vice versa. The hybrid inverter can also charge and discharge the battery according to the user’s needs and preferences.
The battery uses lithium-ion technology, which is the same type of battery used in electric vehicles (EVs), smartphones, and laptops. Lithium-ion batteries have several advantages over other types of batteries, such as high energy density, long lifespan, fast charging and discharging, and low maintenance.
The battery comes in different sizes and capacities, ranging from 2.6 kWh to 20.8 kWh. The battery modules are designed to be compact, lightweight, and easy to install. The battery modules can also be connected in series to increase the storage capacity of your solar panel array.
The battery has a high charge and discharge efficiency of 98%, which means that it can store and deliver almost all of the solar energy that it receives. The battery also has a high depth of discharge of 90%, which means that it can use up to 90% of its stored energy before needing to be recharged. The battery also has an emergency power supply feature, which allows it to provide backup power in case of a National Grid outage, so you will always have power no matter what.
What are the benefits of the Fox Solar Battery?
The battery offers several benefits for solar power users, such as:
- Saving money: By storing excess solar energy, the Fox solar battery can help reduce or eliminate the need to buy electricity from the National Grid, especially during peak hours when electricity prices are higher. The battery can also help users take advantage of time-of-use tariffs or feed-in tariffs, which are schemes that pay users for exporting surplus electricity to the National Grid or charge them differently depending on the time of day.
- Reducing carbon footprint: By using more solar energy and less National Grid electricity, the battery can help lower greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to a cleaner environment. The battery is also made of recyclable materials and has a long lifespan of up to 10 years.
- Increasing self-reliance: By having a backup power source, the battery can help users avoid power outages and blackouts, which can cause inconvenience, damage, or loss. The battery can also help users become more independent from the National Grid and have more control over their energy consumption and production.
