How the Venus E 3.0 works in your home
During the day the battery charges with the surplus power from your solar panels. In the evening and at night it supplies that power back to your home. The P1 meter on your smart meter tells the battery every second what your home is consuming, so it supplies exactly as much as needed and you export nothing to the grid (zero export). If you have a dynamic energy contract, it also charges during the cheapest hours and supplies power during the expensive hours. That works without solar panels too.
In the Netherlands, a battery connected via a wall socket may supply a maximum of 800 W to your home. That covers the base load: fridge, lighting, TV, router and laptop. If you want to use the full 2,500 W, an installer connects the Venus E 3.0 to a dedicated circuit in the electrical panel; that takes about an hour. Work out how much capacity you need with how many kWh of home battery do you need; everything about the 800 W limit can be found in is a plug-in battery allowed.
Connecting in four steps
- Hang the battery on the included wall bracket or place it on the floor, indoors or outdoors (IP65). Lift it with two people: it weighs 60 kg.
- Plug it into an earthed wall socket, preferably on a circuit without heavy consumers.
- Connect the P1 meter (CT003) to the P1 port of your smart meter. No free P1 port? Then choose the CT002 clamp, which goes around the main cable in the electrical panel. Which meter suits you is explained in P1 meter or CT clamp.
- Install the Marstek app, connect the battery via Wi-Fi and choose the mode: self-consumption, charging on a dynamic tariff or your own schedule. In the Netherlands, then register the battery with your grid operator via energieleveren.nl.
Backup power during a power cut
The Venus E 3.0 has its own 2,500 VA backup output. If the grid fails, the appliances you connect to it simply keep working, for example a fridge, router and lighting. The battery does not automatically take over your whole home. If you want circuits in the electrical panel to run on backup power, this is possible with the Marstek SmartBox, connected by an installer. More in backup power with a home battery.

How to connect it
- Plug into a wall socketPlug it into an earthed wall socket and you're done. The battery then charges and supplies up to 800 W, the limit that applies to wall sockets in the Netherlands.
- Full power on a dedicated circuitIf you want 2,500 W, an installer connects the battery to a dedicated circuit in the electrical panel. A job of about an hour.
- P1 meter or CT clampThe Marstek P1 meter (CT003) goes on the P1 port of your smart meter. No P1 port? Then the CT002 clamp measures around the main cable in the electrical panel. You choose when ordering.
- Connectivity and mountingWi-Fi or the UTP connection for the app. The wall bracket is included and it can be hung indoors and outdoors (IP65).
When 800 W and when full power?
In the Netherlands, a battery connected via a wall socket may supply a maximum of 800 W to your home. For an average household, that covers the base load: fridge, lighting, TV, laptop and router. If the washing machine, oven or induction hob run at the same time, the rest simply comes from the grid.
On a dedicated circuit the Venus E supplies and charges at 2,500 W. It then also absorbs the large peaks and fills up faster during cheap hours. During a power cut, the backup output supplies 2,500 W to the appliances you connect to it.
