Smart 4000 (Marstek Venus D + Aiko)

Q: How does a storage system for my plugin solar kit work?

In short: as easy as a plugin solar kit.There are different types of storage systems, can be divided into these main categories:Storage for already installed plugin solar kits. If you already have a plugin solar kit with solar panels and a micro inverter installed, you can add a storage system between your solar panels and the micro inverter. These systems are generally very easy to install, and in some cases (like the Saturn C B2500) even expandable in a modular way.All-in-one storage systems. If you want to add storage to your first plugin solar kit, an all-in-one solution is best. These systems combine batteries, controllers and micro inverters into a single system. You plug the solar panels in on one side, and connect the system straight to your home socket on the other.Standalone storage systems. Recently a third category of storage systems has launched, that doesn’t need a direct connection to your solar panels or plugin solar kit. These independent storage systems connect to any household plug, and store all surplus power your solar kit produces. They charge and discharge through your home’s electricity network, and can also be charged with grid energy if you want to top up in low-cost times or have no solar installed at all.

Q: Can I also charge my storage with power from the grid?

In short: with a hybrid storage system, yes.Most storage systems that have launched in recent months include “hybrid” charging. This means that the storage system can not only discharge into the home’s power network, but also charge from it. This functionality allows you to top up your battery with power from the grid. This makes sense if your power tariff has very cheap prices in some dayparts, when topping up costs little, and use that power in the more expensive dayparts.

Q: How much storage do I need for my home?

In short: this depends on your consumption levels.Storage needs can be looked at from several sides:Solar kit production. If you look at how much your solar kit produces during an entire day, and how much you consume on the spot, the rest is what you will have to store. For example, if your Plus 2000 kit produces 8 kWh per day but during the day you only use 3 kWh, then you need at least 5 kWh of storage for your surplus, to use it when the sun doesn’t shine.Household demand. If you know how much you consume per day at home after subtracting the immediate consumption of your solar kit’s production, you know what you're missing. A part of that can be covered by storing your solar kit’s surplus. The rest can be covered by charging in low-cost hours from the grid. For example, if you consume 10 kWh per day in the above example, you will need 2 kWh to charge from the grid on top of the 5 kWh mentioned above.And remember, that when it comes to batteries, you should never discharge below 10% and never charge over 90%. This means that you can only use 80% of any battery capacity. This would mean that in the above scenario of 7 kWh of required storage, you will need a storage system of 9 kWh, whose 80%-capacity of 7,2 kWh covers your needs.

Q: Will a storage system also work during power outages?

In short: Some of them do.Several storage systems that have launched recently have an “AC outlet”, also known as “emergency outlet” or “anti-blackout”. This is a Schuko socket that delivers electricity when the network goes down. These systems can also be used in homes that are not grid connected.During power outages, like the “apagón” in Spain, Portugal and parts of France in April 2025, these systems provide critical base power to their customers, literally “keeping the lights on”. With sufficient storage capacity, and daily recharge with your solar kit, you can easily get through power outages also for longer periods of time.

Q: Does a storage system store all my surplus energy?

In short: yes it can.For any storage system to work effectively, or be “intelligent” as sometimes labelled, you need a smart meter. This device measures the flow of electricity from the grid to your home.If you consume from the grid, it will tell your storage system to feed in more, trying to reduce or eliminate grid consumption.If you feed surplus energy into the grid, it will tell your storage system to store that surplus energy. These changes happen in real time in fractions of a second, and maximize the self consumption of your solar energy. Since you don’t feed into the grid you’re also not subject to certification or registration requirements in many countries.

Marstek Venus D installation video

See how powerful and easy to install the Marstek Venus D is.

A whopping 4 kW of solar input

Maximize your energy independence

Connect up to 8 solar panels directly

Connect up to 8 solar panels directly through the 4 MPPT integrated into the main unit, for a maximum of 4 kW of solar input. The main unit includes the micro inverter and controller in one device.

Use all your surplus solar production

If you already have another solar kit installed, store all your energy surplus through your home network. The Marstek Venus D charges bidirectionally also from the grid. With the help of the Smart Meter you avoid any surplus feed into the grid.

Charge from the grid when the price is lower

If you do not have a solar installation and cannot connect solar panels to the Marstek Venus D, you can still reduce your power bill using the bidirectional charging function. Charge your battery during the hours when electricity prices are lower and use that energy when you need it most.

The entire process went smoothly. The website is simple and effective. The payment process was transparent and seamless. The shipment was on time, although the carrier split it into two packages with only one tracking number, which caused some confusion for me, but this was quickly clarified by Robinsun's customer service.

I would like to thank Boris and his team for swapping out the TSUN storage battery for the ANKER Solarbank through no fault of Robinsun's the manufacturers TSUN admitted there was a problem with their equipment. The Anker is working great and giving us power all through the evening and is usually fully charged at this time of the year just after lunch. Robinsun's after sales service is second to none. 5 stars plus.
