Fox + Each Energy Storage Inverter: Embedded Settings for Free Charging Periods
In Australia, some electricity retailers offer midday free electricity and charging incentives. For example, Globird’s ZeroHero Plan provides three hours of free usage and charging from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm, and offers a 15-cent solar feed-in tariff from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. To take full advantage of this, the storage inverter needs to be configured with embedded settings.

How it works:
Outside these specific time windows, the storage system operates in
CT/Meter mode. The CT/meter monitors the current flowing to and from the grid and controls the inverter’s charging and discharging of the battery. During the daytime, when solar generation exceeds household demand and there is export current to the grid, the inverter immediately begins charging the battery, ensuring that solar export is reduced to zero. The system prioritizes:
- Powering household loads
- Charging the battery
- Exporting to the grid only after the battery is fully charged
Embedded settings:
From
11:00 am to 2:00 pm, the inverter exits CT/Meter mode and switches to
forced charging from the grid to maximize the benefit of the free power period.
Each Energy has designed an ECO mode that allows up to 12 programmable time slots for setting charging/discharging times and power levels. After 2:00 pm, the storage system automatically reverts to CT/Meter mode.
Fox has also developed embedded settings, which can be conveniently configured directly through the APP, making the process very user-friendly.
