Media Release
Fox ESS has claimed the top global ranking for residential energy storage in 2025, cementing its place as a major force in the clean energy transition. According to S&P Global Energy’s Residential Energy Storage Market Tracker, Fox ESS ranked No. 1 worldwide based on MWh shipments.
The result highlights growing global demand for home battery storage, as households look to cut power bills, improve blackout protection, and gain more control over energy use. It also reflects Fox ESS’s rapid international growth, strong product development, and expanding support network.
Fox ESS residential energy storage leads global rankings
The latest tracker from S&P Global Energy placed Fox ESS first globally in residential energy storage shipments for 2025. The company also ranked No. 1 in both Germany and the UK, two of the world’s most mature and competitive home battery markets.
That combination of results signals more than a one-off win. It suggests Fox ESS is succeeding across multiple regions with very different customer needs, regulations, and installer expectations.
Compared with 2024, Fox ESS increased its global market share by 50% in 2025. In a sector growing as quickly as home batteries, that is a serious statement of intent.
For Australian homeowners, it is another sign that battery storage is becoming mainstream, not niche. Brands competing globally often bring better products, sharper pricing, and stronger local support.
Fast global growth with local support in Australia
Fox ESS has continued to scale internationally at pace. Since the end of 2024, the company’s global headcount has doubled. As of April 2026, Fox ESS employs more than 5,000 people worldwide.
That growth includes investment in local service and operations, with new offices opened in markets including Sydney, Australia. For installers and customers alike, local presence matters.
When support teams operate in-market, response times improve, training becomes easier, and warranty confidence tends to rise. In plain Australian terms, it means fewer headaches if something needs attention.
Fox ESS doubles down on innovation and quality
Fox ESS says its ranking reflects a long-term focus on product quality and innovation.
“We’re thrilled for this remarkable achievement. It reflects our commitment to innovation and product quality, and to making clean, reliable energy practical for households around the world,” said Michael Zhu, CEO of Fox ESS. “We will continue pushing the boundaries to deliver solutions that help homes and businesses move toward energy independence.”
That focus is increasingly important as battery buyers become more educated. Households now ask tougher questions around safety, lifespan, smart controls, backup capability, and after-sales service.
Fox ESS says it supports this with rigorous quality-control processes designed to help ensure every product meets high standards.
Designed for installers and homeowners
Strong products need to work for more than the homeowner. They also need to make life easier for installers.
Fox ESS says it develops solutions that serve both installers and end users, while continuing to invest in research and development. This helps installers work more efficiently and supports homeowners looking to reduce electricity costs and move toward cleaner energy.
The company has more than 400 experts working in R&D, with ongoing improvements aimed at easier transportation, simpler installation, and better everyday usability.
That practical thinking matters. A battery may look flashy in a brochure, but installers value gear that goes in smoothly and performs reliably.
Smarter home energy with FoxCloud
Fox ESS is also investing in software through its AI-powered FoxCloud app.
The platform allows users to monitor and control household energy consumption, manage smart devices, and track generation and usage data in one streamlined system.
For homeowners, that can mean clearer visibility over where power is going and how to use more of their own solar generation. In a world of rising tariffs, every kilowatt-hour counts.
Champions, momentum, and what comes next
Fox ESS has also launched its Champion’s Choice campaign globally, pairing athlete endorsements with industry recognition. Australia was the first stop, where the company signed five-time Olympic champion Ian Thorpe last December.
It is a clever move. Clean energy brands no longer compete only on specs. They compete on trust, recognition, and confidence.
With global rankings, local expansion, and growing brand visibility, Fox ESS appears well placed for the next stage of residential battery growth.
As more Australians weigh up solar batteries, virtual power plants, and energy independence, one thing is clear: the home battery race is heating up nicely.
