Installation & 0% VAT

Professional installation at no extra cost.

How it works in your home

Same battery, same installation. The only thing that changes is what it charges from.

Generate

Your existing solar panels generate power, exactly as they do today.

Store

Spare solar that would have been exported is stored in your Marstek battery instead.

Use

Your home runs on your own stored solar after dark, instead of buying it back at peak rates.

How does this work with my existing solar?Marstek is AC-coupled — it works alongside your existing solar, no inverter swap needed.
How Marstek works with existing solar: solar panels feed your existing inverter, an energy meter measures your home's energy flow, and spare solar is stored in the Marstek battery for your home to use later

AC-coupled — nothing gets ripped out. Marstek works alongside your existing solar inverter. An energy meter spots spare solar and stores it in the battery, ready to power your home after dark — and it works without solar too, charging on cheap off-peak electricity.

Charge

The battery charges when your electricity tariff is at its cheapest, usually overnight.

Store

That cheap electricity is stored safely in your Marstek battery.

Use

Your home runs on stored electricity through the expensive peak hours.

Which battery is right for your home?

A few quick questions and we’ll do the maths.

1. Do you already have solar?
2. Roughly how much electricity do you use?
3. What do you want your battery to do?

Not sure? Don’t worry, we’ll confirm the right battery capacity before installation.

*Installed price includes standard installation. 0% VAT on qualifying residential installations until 31 March 2027. See full installation & VAT breakdown

*Payback estimate assumes 2 full charge/discharge cycles a day, a 16.5p/kWh difference between off-peak and peak electricity (8.5p charging vs 25p peak) and 90% round-trip efficiency — a best-case scenario. Most homes see fewer cycles and a narrower price difference in practice, so actual payback is typically longer. An estimate, not a guarantee.

Questions, answered simply

UK installations are hard-wired for full compliance and warranty cover, so we recommend our quick professional installation service, usually done in a single visit. Thanks to 0% VAT on qualifying installations, it can cost around the same as buying the battery alone.

No. UK installations through PowerXpress are hard-wired into a dedicated circuit at your consumer unit, with its own isolator switch, and wired to BS 7671 by a qualified electrician — never plugged into a household socket. The battery does have a separate emergency backup socket, which can continue powering suitable appliances during a power outage, subject to the available battery capacity and the socket’s power rating.

The Venus E has a dedicated emergency backup socket on the battery itself. If the grid goes down, that one socket stays powered, so you can plug in essentials such as a fridge, router, lamp or phone charger. This is not whole-home backup — a standard installation does not keep the rest of your circuits running. What you can run, and for how long, depends on the battery’s power rating and how much charge is left in it at the time.

Yes. It works alongside almost any existing solar panels or home energy system, and it also works perfectly well on its own if you do not have solar yet.

If it is not right for your home, return it within 30 days for a refund. Full returns details are provided at checkout and with your order.

Every Venus E comes with a 10-year warranty. The battery uses safe LiFePO4 cells rated for more than 6,000 charge cycles and a 15-year design life.

You store cheaper off-peak electricity and use it during the expensive peak hours, and store any spare solar instead of exporting it. Your exact saving depends on your tariff and usage.

Stop renting your energy. Own it.

Store cheap power, beat peak prices, and take back control of your bills. Buy it, get it professionally installed, backed by a 10-year warranty.
