Fox ESS Fox CQ7 28 kWh storage bundle ( 1 x CQ7-M and 3 x CQ7-S)

Fox CQ7 28 kWh storage bundle ( 1 x CQ7-M and 3 x CQ7-S) is a Fox ESS battery stack of 4 modules, giving 28 kWh of nominal storage and about 25.2 kWh usable at 90% depth of discharge.

There is no inverter in this package. These are battery modules only. A battery stores energy; it cannot convert it or connect it to the house on its own, so a compatible Fox ESS hybrid inverter is required and is bought separately. The inverter you choose sets the system's AC power output — how many kilowatts it can actually deliver — while this stack sets how long it can deliver them for.

Before you order

  • Please note the FE-CQ7-M must be installed with at least two FE-CQ7-S.
This part is made up of the following items:
3 x FE-CQ7-S Fox ESS CQ7 Slave Promo Stock Only
1 x FE-CQ7-M Fox ESS CQ7 Master Promo Stock Only

Battery capacity is the manufacturer's nominal figure for this number of modules. Full electrical, mechanical and installation detail for each component is in its own datasheet and installation manual, all of which are in the Documents tab below.

Which inverter does this stack work with?

This is a 4-module stack, and that number is what decides which Fox ESS hybrid inverters will accept it. From Fox's own UK compatibility matrix:

H1 / AC1 — takes 2 to 7 modules Yes, e.g. Fox H1 5.0kW Hybrid Inverter with EPS 1PH Gen 2
KH / KA — takes 2 to 7 modules Yes, e.g. Fox 10kW K Series Single Phase Hybrid Inverter
H3 / AC3 — takes 2 to 12 modules Yes, e.g. FOX ESS H3 8.0KW 3PH Hybrid Inverter with 3PH CT Meter
H3 Smart — takes 3 to 12 modules Yes, e.g. Fox H3 Smart 8.0KW 3ph Hybrid Inverter
H3 Pro — takes 4 to 24 modules Yes, e.g. Fox H3 Pro 20kW 3ph Hybrid Inverter
H3 Plus — takes 4 to 42 modules Yes, e.g. Fox ESS H3 Plus 50kW 3PH Hybrid Inverter
PQ1 all-in-one No — Fox do not list the CQ7 as compatible with PQ1

Whichever you choose, the inverter sets the system's AC output. A 5 kW hybrid on this stack gives a 5 kW system that runs for a long time; a 20 kW hybrid on the same stack gives a 20 kW system that runs for a quarter as long at full output. The battery's own limits are well above either — see the maximum charge and discharge figures in the table above — so in practice the inverter is what you are choosing when you choose the power.

Buying as a package

The components are ordered, delivered and priced as one line, but they are the same products sold individually — each is linked above, with its own specification and documentation. A hybrid inverter and battery installation is notifiable work: it needs a G98 or G99 application to the network operator before commissioning, and MCS certification if it is going on a grant or an export tariff.

Datasheets, installation manuals, warranty documents and declarations of conformity for every component in this package are in the Documents tab below. Contact our sales team at sales@clearraysolar.com for project pricing.
