I am thinking about joining AGL VPP as I recently installed a FoxESS battery. I don't see FoxESS batteries supported, just wondering if they will be
I have an AC coupled setup between my SolarEdge inverter and FoxESS inverter and battery. SolarEdge manages my solar panels as my panels have SolarEdge optimisers.
Here's a summary of my setup
Solar PV System: SolarEdge inverter with power optimizers on the panels. Approximately 7.5kwh system, grid-tied with export limiting.
I had a search, obviously the AGL site say not compatible.
Found what I think is same question from you on the AGL facebook, where they said no.
A google AI response is confusing, one says yes for VPP with retailers like AGL, another says no also, leading to the AGL page.
They are probably working towards more battery brands, but at this stage it looks like a no.
But you can participate in the Battery Rewards thing, which is as good as cash with giftcards that can be used for just about anything you want to purchase.
@Harry58 I'm the same with SolarEdge and Sig battery, solar in nearly 3 years, battery newly installed a month ago today.
Works great . . .
The OP has the SE optimisers (like we do), so AC coupling allows the SE system to keep performing as it should with any shading or multi directional set up with panels.
I think the battery is the issue here, Fox is supposedly compatible now, but there are probably teething issues happening, or some sort of technical issue with the battery stack / settings.

That is a very inefficient setup. The panels should be directly DC coupled to your Fox inverter
