Generate, Store & Use Your Own Solar Electricity
The ECONEXIS Smart package is designed to make more of the electricity generated by a home's solar panels.
During daylight hours, the ten rooftop solar panels convert sunlight into electricity. A compatible inverter converts the generated electricity into a form suitable for household use.
When solar generation exceeds the home's immediate electricity requirements, surplus energy can be directed into the Fox ESS EP6 battery, subject to system settings and available storage capacity.
The stored electricity can then be used later in the day, including during evenings when solar production has reduced or stopped.
This provides a significant functional advantage over a solar-only installation, where electricity not consumed immediately is generally exported to the grid.
By combining generation and storage, homeowners can increase the proportion of their solar electricity used within the property.
Fox ESS EP6 – 5.76 kWh Home Battery
The included Fox ESS EP6 is a residential battery storage unit designed to operate with compatible Fox ESS energy systems.
With a nominal storage capacity of 5.76 kWh, the EP6 provides an additional source of electricity for household use when solar generation is unavailable or insufficient.
The battery uses lithium iron phosphate technology, which is widely used in residential energy storage systems for its durability and thermal stability.
When configured with suitable equipment, the battery can support intelligent charging and discharging schedules, including the use of lower-cost overnight electricity tariffs.
The amount of household demand the battery can cover depends on electricity consumption, available usable capacity, inverter performance and the selected operating settings.

Intelligent Home Energy Management
The Smart package provides homeowners with several ways to manage household electricity usage.
Daytime Solar Consumption
Electricity generated by the panels can be used directly by household appliances, lighting and other electrical equipment.
Evening Battery Storage
Surplus electricity stored during the day can be discharged when solar generation decreases, helping reduce evening grid consumption.
Off-Peak Grid Charging
With a compatible electricity tariff and system configuration, the battery may be charged using cheaper off-peak electricity for use during more expensive periods.
Solar Export
When the battery is sufficiently charged and household demand is met, surplus solar electricity may be exported to the grid.
Eligible homeowners may be able to receive payments through a Smart Export Guarantee or other export tariff, subject to the supplier's terms and metering requirements.
Actual electricity savings depend on solar generation, household consumption, electricity tariffs, battery settings and the property's installation characteristics.
Designed for Typical Residential Electricity Needs
ECONEXIS positions its Smart package as a popular choice for households seeking a balanced solar and battery installation.
It may be particularly suitable for:
- Two- and three-bedroom homes with suitable roof space
- Households with regular evening electricity consumption
- Homeowners wanting solar generation and battery storage from the outset
- Properties using or considering time-of-use electricity tariffs
- Customers seeking to reduce reliance on peak-rate grid electricity
- Homeowners looking for an integrated renewable energy system with monitoring
- Households considering future battery storage expansion
Final suitability depends on roof dimensions, orientation, shading, electricity consumption and the property's electrical infrastructure.

Comparing ECONEXIS Solar Packages
The Smart package provides an intermediate option between ECONEXIS's solar-only Essential system and its higher-capacity Plus solar and battery package.
- Essential – From £4,990: 4.7 kWp solar installation without battery storage.
- Smart – From £6,890: 4.7 kWp solar installation with 5.76 kWh Fox ESS EP6 battery storage.
- Plus – From £7,990: 4.7 kWp solar installation with 11.52 kWh Fox ESS EP12 battery storage.
The Smart package is particularly appealing to customers who want battery storage from the outset without selecting the larger storage capacity of the Plus package.
Important Information: The 4.7 kWp solar rating represents the system's peak output under standard test conditions, not guaranteed continuous electricity generation. The 5.76 kWh battery rating is nominal capacity; actual usable energy and performance depend on the battery specification and system configuration. Financial savings vary according to roof conditions, weather, electricity tariffs and household consumption. Backup power during grid outages should not be assumed to be included unless specifically quoted.
