Description
Fogstar Energy 32.2kWh IP65 Modular Solar Battery Stack
The Fogstar Energy 32.2kWh IP65 Modular Battery Stack is a high-capacity 48V (51.2V) LiFePO4 energy storage system designed for residential, commercial and light industrial solar battery installations.
Built from two individual 16.1kWh battery modules, the system delivers a combined 32.2kWh of energy storage in a robust, modular design. A top-mounted control unit manages both battery modules as one integrated system, while a dedicated base plate provides a secure foundation.
With integrated heating, automatic fire suppression, advanced battery management and an IP65-rated enclosure, the Fogstar 32.2kWh battery stack is engineered for reliable operation in demanding environments.
Its modular construction makes installation, maintenance and future expansion more straightforward, making it an excellent option for properties requiring substantial solar energy storage or backup power capacity.
32.2kWh Modular Battery Storage
The system comprises two 16.1kWh LiFePO4 battery modules connected within a single modular stack.
- Battery Module 1: 16.1kWh
- Battery Module 2: 16.1kWh
- Total Rated Energy: 32.2kWh
- Nominal Voltage: 51.2V
- Total Capacity: 628Ah
The top-mounted control unit manages the connected modules as one battery system, simplifying system monitoring and integration with compatible solar inverters.
Advanced Battery Management and Protection
The Fogstar Energy modular battery stack incorporates advanced battery management technology to support efficient charging, discharging and long-term reliability.
- Integrated battery management system (BMS)
- 150A SEPLOS BMS for system protection and control
- 2A JK active cell balancing
- Accurate cell voltage monitoring
- Integrated 350A system isolation breaker
- LCD touchscreen for real-time system information
Active cell balancing helps maintain consistent cell voltages, supporting battery stability, performance and service life.
IP65 Protection for Indoor and Outdoor Installations
The Fogstar 32.2kWh battery stack features a sealed IP65-rated enclosure, providing protection against dust ingress and water jets.
This makes the system suitable for appropriately designed indoor and outdoor battery installations, including utility areas, plant rooms and sheltered external locations.
Integrated Heating for Cold-Weather Performance
An integrated battery heating system helps maintain suitable cell temperatures during charging in colder environments.
The system is designed for operation in ambient conditions down to -15°C, with heating assisting charging performance when temperatures fall.
This makes the battery particularly suitable for UK installations where winter temperatures may affect conventional lithium battery charging.
Automatic Fire Suppression
For additional protection, the Fogstar Energy battery stack incorporates a built-in, heat-activated aerosol fire suppression system.
The system is designed to activate automatically in response to excessive internal temperatures, providing an additional layer of protection within the battery enclosure.
Compatible Solar Inverter Integration
CAN and RS485 communication enable integration with a range of compatible solar inverter systems.
Supported inverter protocols include:
- Victron
- LuxPower
- Sunsynk
- Solis
- Voltronic
- Voltacon
Compatibility should be confirmed against the specific inverter model, firmware and battery communication settings before installation.
Expandable Solar Battery Storage
The modular battery design allows additional battery capacity to be added as energy requirements increase.
Starting with a 32.2kWh configuration, compatible modules can be used to expand the system to a maximum stated capacity of 64.4kWh.
This flexibility makes the Fogstar modular stack suitable for larger homes, commercial premises and installations where battery storage demand may increase over time.
