The Jupiter C Plus is an advanced balcony storage system with an integrated inverter that stores excess solar energy, thereby maximizing self-consumption. With a capacity of up to 2.56 kWh, it offers an ideal solution for tenants and homeowners who want to reduce their energy costs and become independent from external electricity providers. DRBO Greenenergy complements this storage solution with innovative SunLit Energy Storage options that ensure even higher efficiency.
What exactly is the Jupiter C Plus?
The Jupiter C Plus is a compact balcony power plant with a Deye inverter that offers 800 W of power and a capacity of 2.56 kWh. This storage unit directly stores excess solar energy and uses it for self-consumption. It is particularly suitable for tenants as it does not require roof installation.
Detailed Functionality and Benefits
The Jupiter C Plus converts direct current (DC) from solar modules into alternating current (AC) and stores the excess power in a lithium battery. With its bidirectional charging operation, it can also store cheap electricity at night and use it for self-consumption. For larger needs, DRBO Greenenergy offers extended SunLit storage solutions. The system's efficiency is over 95%, allowing for a return on investment within 3 to 5 years. The storage unit is also equipped with IP65 protection, shielding it from dust and water, and features overheating protection.
