Stand-Out Advantages of the Marstek Jupiter C
Plug-and-Play Convenience
Skip the technical hassle and expensive electrician bills. Simply unpack the Jupiter C, connect your standard MC4 solar inputs, and your new balcony energy storage system is ready to run. The entire installation process takes under 5 minutes.
High Solar Input Capability
Equipped with four independent MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) channels, this system supports up to 2,000 W of solar input. This advanced configuration ensures maximised energy harvesting even during overcast British weather.
Ample Energy Storage & Battery Life
Built on ultra-reliable Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO₄) chemistry, the unit offers 2,560 Wh of raw storage. It delivers over 6,000 charge cycles down to 80% capacity, equating to a decade or more of reliable daily operation.
Robust, Weather-Resistant Design
An official IP65 ingress protection rating ensures complete resistance against dust, wind, and heavy rain. This makes it perfectly suited for year-round outdoor installation on exposed balconies and terraces.
Smart and Quiet Operation
Manage your entire balcony energy storage system effortlessly using the built-in HD touchscreen or the dedicated Marstek smartphone app via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Thanks to a premium fan-less, convection-cooled design, the system runs completely silently.
Smart Power Control & Grid Integration
Pair the system with compatible smart meters (such as the Marstek CT002, CT003, or Shelly 3 Pro EM) to automatically adjust your battery discharge based on real-world household demand. This intelligent tracking protects your wallet by eliminating costly feed-in to the utility grid, ensuring every single watt you generate is saved and used by your own home.
