MELBOURNE, VIC — August 2026 — UpgradeX Victoria has expanded its residential energy storage offering to include Fox ESS battery systems, providing Victorian households with additional options for storing electricity generated by rooftop solar systems.

The expansion comes as residential battery storage continues to develop across Australia. Battery systems allow households with suitable solar installations to store surplus electricity generated during periods of solar production and use that stored energy when solar generation is lower, including during evening periods. The suitability and potential benefits of a battery depend on factors such as household electricity consumption, solar generation, system configuration and site conditions.

Fox ESS currently offers a range of residential battery technologies for different household requirements. Its Australian product portfolio includes high-voltage storage systems such as the EQ5500, with modular storage configurations ranging from approximately 10.92kWh to 49.14kWh. Fox ESS also offers other residential storage platforms designed around different capacity and installation requirements.

UpgradeX has previously published information on Fox ESS battery systems, including the CQ6 and CQ7 high-voltage platforms. The company's residential battery services include system assessment, battery selection, solar and battery integration, installation and ongoing support.

The addition of Fox ESS systems provides another technology option for Victorian homeowners considering battery storage alongside an existing or new solar installation. Installation requirements can vary between properties, and factors such as available electrical infrastructure, battery location, solar system compatibility and household energy consumption need to be considered before installation.

Government battery incentives may also be available to eligible Australian households. Program rules, eligibility requirements and incentive arrangements can change, so homeowners should check the current conditions applicable to their property before proceeding.

UpgradeX services Melbourne and selected regional Victorian communities, including Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Melton, Moe, Somerville, Officer and surrounding areas.
