Overview

  • Following the rollout of more than one million plug-and-play balcony solar arrays, German households are increasingly adding battery storage to use solar power after sunset.
  • Jackery’s newly launched Navi 2000 packs a 2.048 kWh LiFePO₄ battery and 1,200 W inverter into a mobile unit priced below €1,000 and expandable to 8.2 kWh.
  • Marstek’s Jupiter C Plus is an all-in-one 2.56 kWh storage system with an 800 W inverter and HD touch display available for €625 including a smart meter and courier delivery.
  • Both units support modular expansion and integrate smart metering to enforce zero-export rules and optimize self-consumption through intelligent load management.
  • Specialty resellers such as Powerness and PluginEnergy are leveraging direct partnerships, bundle deals and fast delivery to stand out in a crowded market.
