How does the all-in-one solar storage system work?
The system charges the battery directly with solar power and controls its use automatically. Excess energy can either be fed into the grid or consumed in the household, with an automatic control optimizing the discharge time.
PV modules generate direct current, which flows efficiently into the battery via the MPPT controllers. The integrated inverter converts the current into alternating current for the household. An anti-feed-in function prevents back-feeding if no grid feed-in is desired. DRBO Greenenergy offers supplementary storage solutions and suitable accessory packages to optimize system integration.
What are the technical specifications of the Jupiter E?
| Component | Specification | Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Battery Capacity | 5120 Wh LiFePO4 | High self-sufficiency for 1–2 days |
| PV Input | 2000 W (4 MPPT) | Maximum yields with partial shading |
| On-Grid Output | 800 W | Compliant with common grid regulations |
| Protection Class | IP65 | Weatherproof for balcony and terrace |
| Temperature Range | -20°C to 60°C | Usable year-round |
The Jupiter E stands out from many competing products due to its four MPPT trackers and integrated app control. DRBO Greenenergy sees a high demand for such plug-and-play systems, particularly in the B2B sector, for example among installers.
How to install the Marstek Jupiter E Balcony Power Plant?
Installation is deliberately simple: connect PV modules, place the CT clamp on the power cable, and plug the system into the socket. Then, settings are made in the app or via the display.
The assembly requires no elaborate work and is suitable for private users. Important is a stable positioning of the modules, secure cable routing, and correct system configuration. DRBO Greenenergy offers suitable mounting brackets and accessories to ensure safe and reliable installation.
Why is a 5120Wh solar storage system for the balcony worthwhile?
A 5120 Wh storage system practically covers evening and night consumption and significantly increases self-consumption, leading to noticeable savings. For many households, this capacity is sufficient to reduce electricity consumption during peak hours.
Compared to smaller systems, a 5120 Wh storage system offers significantly more self-sufficiency and reduces dependence on the grid. DRBO Greenenergy particularly highlights the advantages of sustainable power supply and long-term cost savings. In combination with suitable solar modules and intelligent energy management, economic efficiency can be further increased.
What advantages does the Jupiter E offer over other systems?
The Marstek Jupiter E offers a space-saving solution, as all components are integrated. This eliminates separate installations of storage, inverters, and MPPT controllers, reducing effort and costs.
The four MPPT controllers ensure high yields even with partial shading. IP65 protection and app monitoring increase suitability for everyday use. DRBO Greenenergy positions such systems as ideal for tenants and homeowners who want to easily get started with solar energy.
Can the Marstek Jupiter E be operated in winter?
Yes, the system is designed for operation down to -20 °C and has temperature control for the battery to minimize performance losses.
At cold temperatures, battery capacity decreases, making adapted discharge advisable. Snow on the modules should be removed to maintain performance. DRBO Greenenergy also recommends regularly checking the system status in winter conditions and adjusting settings as needed.

How to clean and maintain the system?
Maintenance is manageable: regular wiping of the modules, checking cable connections, and installing app updates are usually sufficient. In case of snow, the module surface should be kept clear to avoid performance losses.
Since the system has no moving parts, maintenance is low. DRBO Greenenergy recommends annual system checks to ensure long-term performance and detect potential errors early.
What costs and savings can you expect?
| Scenario | Annual Yield | Savings (at €0.40/kWh) |
|---|---|---|
| Summer (2000 W) | 1200 kWh | €480 |
| Winter (800 W) | 400 kWh | €160 |
| Total | 1600 kWh | €640 |
With a realistic annual production of 1000–1500 kWh, the investment costs are usually amortized within 2–3 years. DRBO Greenenergy also offers package solutions that make starting with solar energy more affordable.
What measures increase the economic efficiency of the system?
To increase economic efficiency, users should maximize self-consumption by scheduling appliances like washing machines or dishwashers for sunny hours. An energy management system can further optimize consumption and reduce peak loads.
DRBO Greenenergy recommends combining a balcony power plant with storage and using smart meter solutions to make electricity flow transparent and control it specifically.
