We're happy to have provided these products to Solar Lab for this review! The Maple Leaf Northern Fox line of inverters, batteries, and smart energy hubs has definitely been a game-changer for solar installations across Canada. Our teams of installers and our customers alike have been loving these systems, and it's easy to see why! One important note that wasn't mentioned in the video: When you get your Fox ESS equipment through Solar Power Store, you'll automatically get extended warranty support - we take the 12.5 year manufacturer warranty and add another 2.5 years of coverage for a total of 15 years through Maple Leaf Power Systems. Just one of the many benefits of choosing Solar Power Store!

Did I miss what the voltage is on the batteries? I just heard "high voltage" several times.

Glad you showed us many pictures of random customer service reps, complete with headsets and ear to ear smiles. We had no idea they looked like that.

Rough part is the cost per kWh. You can get a 16kWh 48v battery for about the same price of one of the 4kWh for this system. The other costs are in line.

Looks really similar to the EP Cube.

I do like the MC4 connectors to the batteries. You do want to be extra careful to make sure you can't short out the terminals on a high voltage system, and those connectors should help a lot with that.

Looks like a great start. But man, not being able to control my own firmware updates is a real downside.

I wish I could afford one of those inverters. It would be so nice to have it outside. Keep the fan noise and the heat dump outside. Apparently this inverter doesn't have fans, but the inverters I have now sure have loud fans.
