Solar Systems: Why We Choose Fox ESS
The Smart Choice for South African Solar Systems
Discover why Crown Technologies trusts Fox ESS above all others for reliability, efficiency, and long-term performance.
Welcome to Your Solar Adventure
When Crown Technologies started back in 1999, our mission was simple: to make energy systems smarter, safer, and more sustainable. We began with innovative, low-energy cooling solutions from Australia — and by 2016, our solar division was born.
Since then, we’ve tested, compared, and installed systems from every major brand — Sunsynk, Deye, Victron, Sola X, Lux Power — and one brand consistently stood above the rest: Fox ESS.
Proven Reliability, Backed by Real Numbers
We’ve installed double the number of Fox ESS units compared with all other brands combined.
And here’s what’s remarkable: only one-third of the breakdowns.
When something does go wrong, Fox ESS South Africa responds fast — replacing parts or even the entire system (inverter, modem, batteries) within two business days, no hesitation, no red tape.
That kind of service keeps our clients powered — and protected.
Safety First: Built-In Protection You Can Trust
Crown Technologies installs every Fox ESS system the safe, compliant way. Your insurer and the SSEG application both require four tiers of surge protection — and we include them all:
AC Surge Protection (Main DB) – Stops voltage spikes from the grid.
AC DB Surge Protection – Prevents inverter feedback from damaging your main DB.
Battery Protection – Fox batteries include built-in fuses, needing only a breaker.
Dedicated Earthing System – DC DB rated at 1000 V / 20 kA ensures lightning protection, with resistance under 20 ohms.
10 Reasons Crown Tech Chooses Fox ESS
Fan-less Cooling System – Runs quieter, cooler, and lasts over 15 years.
IP-65 Waterproof Rating – Designed for outdoor use in tough South African climates.
High-Voltage Battery Efficiency – Loses as little as 5 % power in transfer, compared to 15–20 % in low-voltage systems.
Longer Battery Lifespan – High-voltage chemistry gives up to 15 years of performance.
Triple-Layer Battery Safety – Fire-suppression, impact-resistant casing, and circuit breakers keep your system safe.
Four MPPTs (Solar Trackers) – Capture sunlight from multiple roof angles for optimal energy yield.
Bloomberg NEF Tier 1 Certified – Globally bankable and financially stable for the long term.
Smart App & AI Integration – Monitor loads, get weather and load-shedding alerts, and automate charging with the Fox Cloud app.

The Smart Way to Use Your Solar Power
Here’s a simple analogy: you wouldn’t cook a steak, let it sit for five hours, and then microwave it. You eat it right off the braai — fresh and perfect.
Solar energy works the same way.
Your panels perform best for about six hours a day — the Golden Quarter. Using that energy immediately for high-load tasks like geysers, pool pumps, or washing machines maximises efficiency and shortens your ROI.
To help, every Crown Tech system includes smart Wi-Fi controllers to automate usage and keep your energy flow optimised.
