SYDNEY, March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, Fox ESS, a leading provider of renewable energy solutions, has claimed the top position nationally for installed energy storage capacity in February, according to SunWiz, Australia's leading solar energy consultancy.
SunWiz's February market report shows Fox ESS achieving the highest installed storage capacity in Australia, a milestone that underlines the company's rapid momentum across the residential storage market.
The ranking follows further recognition earlier in this year, when SunWiz named Fox ESS Top Growth Leader for 2025. The company also reported continued scale-up, reaching nearly 12k installations in February.
"A longstanding leader in the UK and German markets, Fox ESS has rapidly established itself as a leading force in Australia's energy storage sector. Their competitively-priced solution and international leadership are clearly resonating with both installers and consumers, and the February results reflect their strong and growing position in the Australian market," Warwick Johnston, Managing Director of SunWiz, said.
Performance and efficiency underpin the growth
The success isn't from a single burst. Instead, it builds on Fox ESS's ongoing commitment to delivering high-performance products and technology worldwide. Earlier this month, Fox ESS reported achieving a new benchmark of 97% energy storage system efficiency, assessed by HTW Berlin, described as one of the world's most rigorous testing organisations.
Fox ESS has also previously ranked among the top brands in multiple markets, according to EUPD Research. Meanwhile, the latest S&P Global Energy Residential Energy Storage Index shows the company is ranked No. 1 for market share in the UK, Poland and across Europe, based on MWh shipments.
Long-term commitment in Australia
Fox ESS is pursuing a long-term strategy to support its growth in Australia, including building a 30-expert service team dedicated to help partners resolve issues promptly.
The company has also expanded its footprint, with two offices opened in succession in Melbourne and Sydney, aiming to strengthen support for distributors, retailers and installers nationwide.
"We're thrilled to achieve this tremendous milestone, and extremely grateful to the partners who've placed their trust in Fox ESS," said Brooks Richard, Managing Director of APAC & Middle East at Fox ESS. "As the market accelerates, we're doubling down on advanced products and tailored local services to help build a more resilient energy landscape for Australian households."

Fox ESS Claims No.1 Spot in Australia for Energy Storage Installations
OTTAWA, ON, May 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Gastops, a Canadian leader in intelligent condition monitoring and maintenance solutions, today announced it has been awarded a contract for FluidSIGHT™ under Canada's Innovation for Defence Excellence and Security (IDEaS) program as a Test Drives participant in the All Systems Go! challenge.
Test Drives enable the Department of National Defence (DND) and the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) to evaluate innovative technologies in realistic operating environments to assess their potential to address future defence capability needs. As part of this effort, Gastops will further adapt and demonstrate its FluidSIGHT technology in support of advanced health and usage monitoring applications onboard military land vehicles, helping inform future capability decisions.
FluidSIGHT is a real-time oil condition, contamination, and wear monitoring system that provides continuous insight into the health of lubricated systems directly at the asset. FluidSIGHT allows operators to transition from periodic oil sampling to continuous, real-time condition awareness.
The IDEaS program has played a key role in advancing FluidSIGHT's technical maturity. Through participation in an IDEaS Competitive Projects challenge, Gastops has progressed FluidSIGHT from an early proof‑of‑concept to a deployable, testable system suitable for evaluation. The Test Drives phase represents a critical step in validating the technology's performance, integration readiness, and operational relevance alongside DND and CAF stakeholders.
"Being selected for IDEaS Test Drives reflects both the technical maturity of FluidSIGHT and its alignment with Canada's defence innovation priorities," said Shaun Horning, President and CEO at Gastops. "The IDEaS program has allowed us to systematically mature FluidSIGHT from concept to a product that can now be evaluated in a brand-new environment, military land vehicles, helping demonstrate how real-time oil condition awareness can improve equipment availability, safety, and maintenance decision‑making."
Gastops brings decades of experience delivering diagnostics, prognostics, and condition‑based maintenance solutions for mission‑critical platforms across aerospace, defence, marine, energy, and industrial sectors. The IDEaS Test Drives project builds on this foundation and supports Canada's objective to accelerate the adoption of innovative, Canadian-developed technologies in defence and security applications.
