ESP Integration:
Stay Ahead of Load Shedding
The FoxESS App now integrates with EskomSePush (ESP), South Africa’s most trusted load-shedding notification platform. This integration lets your Fox system automatically prepare for power outages by charging your battery in advance — so you stay powered even when the grid goes down.
How It Works
With ESP integration enabled:
The Fox ESS App receives real-time load-shedding schedules directly from ESP.
Your inverter can automatically switch modes when an outage is predicted, for example:
- Force charge your battery from solar or grid before the outage.
- Reserve a minimum State of Charge (SoC) so you have enough energy for essential loads.
When the outage ends, the system returns to your normal operating mode automatically.
