Fox ESS EVO Series Launch Powers Up South Africa

A Proud Moment: MSPD Africa Launches the Fox ESS EVO Series in Africa

On 31 July 2025, MSPD Africa proudly launched the Fox ESS EVO Series live from our Cape Town branch. Mark Becker, CEO of MSPD Africa, walked installers through this exciting product built for fast, reliable installations across Africa. It combines sleek design with unmatched performance, engineered to fit anywhere and deliver exceptional power.

Mark summed it up perfectly: the Fox EVO is beautiful, powerful, and smart — a rare combination that sets a new standard for hybrid inverter and battery solutions.

Compact & Beautiful — Designed to Fit Anywhere

The Fox ESS EVO Series is as slim as the width of your hand, with a single-piece diecast aluminium enclosure that’s both elegant and incredibly strong. Its sleek, compact design means installers can place it indoors or outdoors without compromising on style or durability.

Plus, the IP65-rated casing and passive cooling mean no noisy fans — just quiet, reliable operation.

“The AC side’s wired, the DC side’s wired, the batteries are ready to plug in. We’ve done all the work for you.” — Mark Becker

The Fox EVO is a fully integrated inverter and battery system, prewired and plug-and-play, designed to drastically reduce installation time. With everything ready to go out of the box, you just mount, plug in, and start saving.

Beautiful Design That Fits Anywhere

Mark joked that the Fox EVO is “so incredibly beautiful that your wife will let you install it anywhere in your home.” Its sleek, compact vertical design and single-piece diecast aluminium enclosure make it the most visually stunning system available.

This beauty isn’t just skin-deep — the tough aluminium case is the largest single-piece cast enclosure in the world, built for durability and protection.

Fox ESS EVO Series: Powerful Performance for African Homes

Don’t be fooled by its looks — the Fox EVO packs a serious punch. It supports a staggering 20kW peak backup power for 10 seconds, almost double the power of the grid. Whether it’s the kids gaming, the wife cooking, or granny relaxing in the garden cottage, the Fox EVO ensures no overloads and zero missed moments.

Featuring three 20-amp MPPT inputs, the Fox ESS EVO Series supports double its PV capacity, allowing installers to maximize solar harvest from multiple roof orientations or complex installations.

Next-Generation Battery Technology Powered by Fox

The Fox EVO battery uses large-scale cylindrical lithium-ion cells borrowed from the automotive industry with:

• 95% usable capacity
• High charge/discharge rates supporting 20kW peak power bursts
• Enhanced heat dissipation for longer life

Housed in a certified, explosion-proof case with an anti-explosion valve and a built-in fire extinguisher, it’s one of the safest battery systems available.

The Fox ESS App — Simple, Powerful, and User-Friendly

The Fox EVO system integrates seamlessly with the Fox ESS app, designed to be intuitive “made for children” in ease of use, yet packed with powerful features to put control in your hands. Through the app, users can:

• Set mode scheduling to avoid costly peak electricity tariffs
• Monitor real-time energy production and consumption
• Receive remote firmware updates
• Interact with Fox Bot, the AI assistant

Meet Fox Bot — Your AI-Powered Energy Assistant

Fox Bot lets users ask questions like:

• “How much power am I generating right now?”
• “What is the status of my inverter?”

and more — delivering instant insights and improving over time through interaction. This helps installers by answering common client queries quickly, reducing support burdens.

Stay Ahead with Eskom Load Shedding Push Notifications

South Africa’s energy challenges are real, but Fox EVO helps users outfox Eskom with:

• Push notifications on load shedding events directly to their phone
• Automatic switch to backup mode during outages if batteries are charged
• Seamless return to normal mode when power resumes

This automation minimizes manual intervention and keeps clients powered and happy.

Fox ESS EVO Series has Smart Load Control and EV Charging

Fox EVO supports smart load triggering, letting users schedule appliances like geysers or pool pumps to run during optimal times, maximizing solar self-consumption.

It also offers dynamic EV charging with direct app integration. EV owners can charge using solar power, battery, grid, or a schedule — with real-time app monitoring.

Flexible and Scalable System Design

The Fox EVO can be installed in parallel up to three systems, scaling power and storage from 10kW/10kWh up to 30kW/30kWh with backup peaks reaching 60kW. This flexibility suits complex roofs, multiple dwellings, or future expansions.

The Economics Behind the Innovation of the Fox ESS EVO Series

Mark highlighted three “laws of economics” the Fox EVO brilliantly satisfies:

• Maximum Return: Combining cost-effective design with smart AI for maximum savings.
• Minimum Effort: Prewired, easy installation and an app that’s simple for anyone to use.
• Vanity: A beautiful, sleek design installers and customers are proud to own.
