Description

Between the two single-phase AC units, the 5.0kW earns its place when the battery bank grows or evening loads climb. Standardising on the larger unit also simplifies van stock: one model covers both the modest and the heavier domestic jobs, which trims the number of lines you carry and the surveys you re-quote. It is a Gen 2 unit sold new and priced the trade way, with the figure on the page matching the invoice before VAT.

What it pairs with

Meter the property with the Fox ESS energy meter (CHNT DDSU666) or the Fox CT clamp listed for the AC range, and add a Fox LAN monitoring stick for remote visibility. Batteries come from the Fox ESS high-voltage packs in this catalogue, ECS4100 master and slave modules among them. Confirm the exact battery match against the manufacturer's current pairing list, as compatibility varies by model and firmware revision.

This is a single-phase unit, and above 3.68 kW this needs G99 approval before install. Batteries are not included and are chosen separately from the Fox ESS range. For anything this page can't settle, ask the trade desk before ordering or consult a competent installer.

FAQ

Fox ESS FE-AC1-5.0 buying questions

Trade pricing here is simple: the figure on the page is the ex-VAT price, VAT at 20% goes on at invoice, and that is the whole story. There are no minimum order values and no quantity breaks to chase, so a single AC 5.0kW costs the same per unit as a bulk order for the fitting schedule.
The AC 5.0kW is not classed as dangerous goods, so it ships by parcel courier rather than pallet freight. Allow 3–5 working days (estimate). The dispatch clock starts at cleared payment. Because it arrives as a parcel there is no kerbside pallet drop to staff, so delivery to site or to the unit is straightforward.
13 in stock at the last catalogue update, and the count on this page comes from the live stock feed rather than a manual list. In stock means in stock; if the number reads zero, the trade desk can tell you the restock position for this part number.
