The China battery manufacturer that stormed to the top Australian sales charts during the heady first year of the Cheaper Home Batteries is turning its attention to the new commercial and industrial rebate in New South Wales, with a new scalable C&I energy storage solution.

Fox ESS, one of the world’s leading residential energy storage providers, announced this week the Australian launch of the Power Beast, a battery targeting the C&I market which is scalable up to the multi-megawatt level and suitable for on- and off-grid use.

The Power Beast is built around Fox ESS’s H3 Plus Hybrid Inverter which provides support for up to three independent battery inputs, and when it is paired with Fox ESS modular CQ7 High Voltage batteries, a single inverter is capable f supporting up to 292 kWh of storage capacity.

Available with AC output from 50 kW to 125 kW, the Power Beast system can scale up to 3.125 megawatt (MW) and 7.35 megawatt-hours (MWh) for on-grid applications and 1.25 MW/2.94 MWh for off-grid applications.

The Power Beast system can also be paired with the optional CQ7 Dual Tower Base, which supports two battery stacks on a shared base, helping to keep system height under 1.3 metres.
