1. Strong value. FoxESS delivers capable storage at a lower cost per usable kWh than premium brands, so your payback comes sooner.
2. Safe LFP chemistry. Lithium iron phosphate cells run cooler and last longer than older battery types, with built-in battery management protection.
3. Modular and expandable. Start with the capacity you need and stack more units later as your usage grows.
4. Works with new or existing solar. Whether you are fitting solar and storage together or retrofitting a battery to panels you already have, there is a FoxESS setup to suit.
5. Ten-year warranty. Backed by a 10-year manufacturer warranty on the battery, which we register for you at commissioning.
A FoxESS system is straightforward to run day to day. The FoxESS Cloud app lets you see your solar generation, battery level and home usage from your phone, so you can watch the savings add up and spot anything unusual early.
Pair it with a smart tariff and the battery charges when electricity is cheapest, then powers your home through the expensive evening peak, which is where most of the saving comes from. We set all of this up and walk you through it at handover.
We fit several battery brands, and we recommend FoxESS for homeowners who want a capable, reliable system without paying a premium. It suits you well if:
If your priorities are different, we will tell you honestly at the survey and point you to a better fit.
Yes. Around 40% of the battery systems we fit in North Wales are retrofits to existing solar arrays. There are two ways we do it:
AC coupled, keeping your existing inverter. We add the FoxESS battery alongside your current inverter, such as a Solis, Growatt or SolarEdge. The battery captures the excess energy your panels already produce and stores it for the evening.
Hybrid replacement. Where it makes sense, we replace your existing inverter with a FoxESS hybrid unit for a tidier, fully integrated system. We advise which route suits your setup at the survey.
A battery is only as good as the install behind it. HSB Renewables has fitted renewable systems across the region for over ten years, and we are a Which? Trusted Trader and RECC member. We handle everything from survey and design through to installation, commissioning and aftercare, and we register your warranty on your behalf.

Is FoxESS a good battery?
Yes. FoxESS is one of the most widely fitted battery brands in the UK. It uses safe LFP chemistry, comes with a 10-year warranty and offers strong value for money, which is why it makes up a large share of the systems we install.
Can I add a FoxESS battery to my existing solar panels?
Yes. We can retrofit a FoxESS battery to most existing solar PV systems, or supply solar and storage together on a new install.
How big a battery do I need?
For most homes a 5kWh to 10kWh battery covers evening and overnight use. FoxESS is modular, so you can add capacity later. We recommend the right size at your free survey.
Does it work with Octopus and other smart tariffs?
Yes. A FoxESS system can charge when electricity is cheapest on a time-of-use tariff and discharge at peak times to lower your bills.
What warranty do I get?
FoxESS batteries carry a 10-year manufacturer warranty, which we register for you when we commission the system.
