Grid operator and, in several countries, a national register. Plug-in batteries have simplified but country-specific rules.
2. Grid connection rules
Germany VDE-AR-N 4105, Belgium Synergrid C10/26, France NF C 15-100. Check the model’s declaration of conformity.
3. VAT
The VAT rate of the country of supply; some countries apply a lower rate to residential solar storage. Compare on the final price.
4. Take-back
Extended producer responsibility applies in every EU country; the retailer or an approved collection point takes old batteries back.
Frequently asked questions
Can I order a Marstek home battery for my country?
On instalpunt.com you can order one home battery: the Marstek Venus E Mini (2 kWh). We do not ship home batteries outside the Netherlands and Belgium, so the Mini is for collection at our warehouse in Alblasserdam (the Netherlands); choose “Collect” at checkout. The larger Marstek models (Venus E 3.0, Max) are not available on instalpunt.com. Spare parts are shipped across the EU.
Does the Marstek Venus E Mini work with my electricity meter?
The supplied P1 meter fits Dutch and Belgian smart meters with a P1 port. Smart meters in most other countries have no P1 port; check with Marstek which energy meter suits your installation before you buy.
Do I need to register a home battery?
In most EU countries a stationary battery connected to a solar installation must be registered with the grid operator, and several countries keep a national register (Germany: Marktstammdatenregister; Belgium: Fluvius/ORES; France: Enedis). Plug-in batteries fall under simplified rules that differ per country. Check with your grid operator and a local electrician.
Which VAT applies to a home battery?
The VAT rate of the country where it is supplied. Some countries apply reduced or zero VAT to residential solar storage (Germany, for example). Always compare offers on the final price.
Who takes a battery back at end of life?
Batteries and electrical equipment fall under extended producer responsibility in every EU country: the retailer or an approved collection point takes the old unit back.
