In this paper, we investigate the center-focus problem and the number of limit cycles bifurcating from three foci for a family of piecewise smooth planar septic Z2-equivariant systems, which include (±1, 0) and infinity as their singularities. We achieve a comprehensive classification of the conditions under which (±1, 0) act as centers. Moreover, we rigorously prove that, under small Z2-equivariant perturbations, the perturbed system possesses at least 15 limit cycles, comprising 14 with small amplitude and 1 large amplitude with the scheme 1 ⊃ (7 ∪7).
