MARSTEK's VENUS B is Noted to Be the World's Thinnest

— March 10, 2026 — Tech
Energy storage innovator MARSTEK has launched the VENUS B — a plug-in energy storage system recognized as the world's thinnest — at Solar Solutions Amsterdam 2026.

The innovation features an ultra-slim profile of just 8.6 centimeters and a lightweight, wall-mounted design. The appeal of this compact plug-in energy storage system is that it offers a powerful energy solution without sacrificing valuable floor space. As such, it can be seamlessly integrated into the home environment.

MARSTEK's VENUS B's true plug-and-play installation eliminates the complexity and cost typically associated with home battery systems, allowing users to begin storing and utilizing energy within seconds, while the fifteen-millisecond backup switching provides crucial protection against power outages. The integration of artificial intelligence for energy optimization — a feature that can be managed through a user-friendly app — empowers homeowners to make smarter decisions about their consumption.
