Disclaimer
The projected annual electricity cost savings of approx. €1,109 for the Marstek Jupiter C Plus are based on a model-based estimate, taking into account the following parameters and assumptions:
1. Basis of Calculation
- System Parameters: 2.4 kWp maximum photovoltaic input power, 12.24 kWh maximum storage capacity, bidirectional inverter (limited to 800 W continuous power).
- Scenario Assumptions (Reference Values 2025/2026): 1,200 hours of sunshine per year (average for Central Germany), €0.40/kWh average household electricity price (incl. taxes and duties).
- Efficiencies: Inverter efficiency 99.8%, storage efficiency (LFP technology) 96.5%.
2. Formula and Calculation
Savings are calculated from the usable, self-generated solar power multiplied by the current electricity price:
- Theoretical Generation: 2.4 kW × 1,200 h = 2,880 kWh/year.
- Usable Solar Power: 2,880 kWh × 0.998 × 0.965 = 2,773.64 kWh/year.
- Annual Savings: 2,773.64 kWh × €0.40/kWh ≈ €1,109.
3. Important Note on Variability
Actual yields may vary individually. Key influencing factors include geographical location (e.g., 1,300 hours in Southern Germany vs. 1,000 hours in the North), the orientation and tilt of the PV modules, local shading, fluctuating electricity market prices, and the household's personal consumption behavior. This calculation is for guidance only and does not constitute a contractual yield guarantee or legal warranty.
Legal Notices (Germany)
To benefit from the simplified regulations for plug-in generation systems according to § 8 para. 5a EEG, the following limits apply:
- The total installed PV capacity must not exceed 2,000 Wp.
- The inverter's apparent power must be ≤ 800 VA.
Should your system exceed these limits, the regular requirements of the grid operator apply. This may include, among other things, extended registration, meter modification, or formal approval procedures. Please inform yourself about the locally applicable regulations before installation.
Registration & Installation:
In Germany, plug & play solar systems can generally be installed and connected independently. Registration in the Market Master Data Register (MaStR) is legally mandatory (www.marktstammdatenregister.de). The registration with the grid operator has been significantly simplified or partially automated by the Solar Package I.
