What is the Marstek Jupiter E?

The Marstek Jupiter E is a powerful, compact all-in-one energy storage system specially developed for balcony power plants. With a capacity of 5.12 kWh and a discharge capacity of 2 kW, it is ideal for households that want to efficiently use their own solar energy. The Jupiter E offers user-friendly plug-and-play installation, app control, and is weather-resistant, making it perfect for use on balconies or in garages.

What makes the Marstek Jupiter E special?

The Marstek Jupiter E combines storage, inverter, and MPPT tracker in a robust housing. With innovative Lithium LiFePO4 technology, it achieves over 6,000 charging cycles and remains fully functional even at temperatures down to -20 °C. The four independent MPPT inputs allow for high flexibility and efficiency in solar power generation. The compact design (65 kg) enables easy installation, while the IP65 certification provides protection against dust and water. This makes it particularly suitable for outdoor use, such as on balconies.

The Marstek Jupiter E optimizes the self-consumption of solar power by storing surplus energy during the day and releasing it in the evening or during bad weather. The integrated app allows for precise monitoring of the charge status and yields in real-time. Compared to conventional systems, the Jupiter E offers a cost-effective and efficient solution due to its all-in-one design and simple Schuko plug connections.

How does the Marstek Jupiter E work?

The Marstek Jupiter E works by connecting solar modules, which can optimally track and feed in up to 2 kW of solar power via four MPPTs. The stored power is discharged via an integrated inverter and can be used for self-consumption as well as for feeding into the grid, if permitted.

The energy storage system automatically prioritizes PV power, stored power, and grid power, thereby achieving maximum efficiency. The system can be configured via the app or a touch display to set charging times and other parameters. In addition, the app also enables remote control and provides weather data for even more accurate forecasting of energy consumption and yields.

What are the technical specifications of the Marstek Jupiter E?

The Marstek Jupiter E has a usable capacity of 5.12 kWh, a maximum output power of 2 kW, and uses durable LiFePO4 technology. Further technical details include an operating temperature of -20 to 60 °C, 98% efficiency, and an 800 W inverter that can be expanded up to 2,000 W. The dimensions of the device are approx. 39 x 25 x 63 cm with a weight of 65.5 kg. The Jupiter E offers a backup power function and comes with a 10-year warranty. Certifications such as CE and RoHS confirm its high quality and safety.

How does the Marstek Jupiter E differ from the Jupiter C?

The Marstek Jupiter E offers twice the capacity of the Jupiter C, namely 5.12 kWh compared to 2.56 kWh. Both models have the same PV input power, but the Jupiter E is designed for households with higher power demand, while the Jupiter C is ideal for smaller balconies or compact applications. Both models feature four MPPTs and an 800 W inverter, but the Jupiter E offers a longer runtime and is suitable for larger solar installations.

Why choose the Marstek Jupiter E for your balcony power plant?

The Marstek Jupiter E is an excellent choice for balcony power plants, as it can increase the self-consumption of solar power by up to 80-90%, significantly reducing electricity costs. The compact design and weather-resistant properties make it perfect for use on balconies. Additionally, the device is particularly tenant-friendly due to its plug-and-play installation, as no professional installation is required. With DRBO Greenenergy, you can combine the system with suitable SunLit storage solutions to achieve even more power and reduce your CO2 emissions.

Can the Marstek Jupiter E be expanded?

Yes, the Marstek Jupiter E can be expanded to more than 50 kWh by parallel connection of up to 10 units. This makes it ideal for growing households or businesses that want to increase their energy needs. Expansion is easy via an RS485 connection and can be controlled with an app.

Is the Marstek Jupiter E easy to install?

Yes, the Marstek Jupiter E is easy to install. The plug-and-play installation typically takes only 20-30 minutes and requires no special expertise. You simply need to connect the Schuko plug, attach the solar modules to the MPPTs, and download the app to control the device. DRBO Greenenergy recommends using stable mounts to securely install the system.
