MARSTEK Jupiter C Plus holds the battery, its electronics and a microinverter that feeds into the home within the threshold for plug-in systems, in a single body. You start with the base battery and grow by attaching up to three dedicated batteries under the control unit, stacked one on top of the other. A touchscreen shows how much is coming in from the sun and how much is going out to the home.
Panels go into four independent inputs, so two different orientations don't hold each other back. With a compatible smart meter it adjusts its output to the home's consumption. A serial port speaks Modbus: anyone with a home energy management system can control it from there, with no need to go through the app.

Which documents this page rests on
The rest of the data comes from one page on the manufacturer's site, cited row by row in the table above.
A manual or a datasheet counts as a source even when the original file is hosted elsewhere: what matters is the document, not the server. Where that happens, it is stated above.
What it really costs
How we worked it out
- price
- 599
- nominal capacity
- 2.560
- the manufacturer does not state the guaranteed total energy throughput, which for heavy users is often the limit that runs out first
How we worked it out
- stated cycles
- 6000
- warranty years
- 3650
- the manufacturer does not state the guaranteed total energy throughput, which for heavy users is often the limit that runs out first
- on nominal capacity: the manufacturer does not state the usable figure, so the real cost is higher
- without conversion losses, which the manufacturer does not state: the real cost is higher
How we worked it out

These numbers are calculated, not stated: they have no source to cite, they have a formula you can redo. The price used is the manufacturer's list price, which is stable and the same in every country — not a shop's price on the day.
Pros and cons
In favour
- It grows by attaching up to three batteries under the same control unit.
- It's controlled from a home energy management system, over Modbus, with no need to go through the app.
- Battery and microinverter sit in the same body: it's carried to the balcony and connected, with no separate inverter.
- It has an IP65 protection rating and a temperature range from −20 to +60 °C.
Worth knowing
- The base battery is small: for serious storage up to three more batteries are needed, sold separately.
- It feeds into the home within the threshold for plug-in systems even with more sun and more batteries: the rest stays in the battery or is lost.
- Adjusting the output to the home's consumption requires a compatible smart meter (CT002, CT003 or Shelly). source
