Bluetti has introduced the Balco Series, a new line of balcony solar power solutions. The lineup includes the Balco 260, Balco 500, and Balco Transfer Hub. The company unveiled the products at an event in Paris.
Balco 260 and Balco 500 offer modular storage
The Balco 260 and Balco 500 are storage systems for balcony power plants. They combine MPPT controllers, inverters, and modular battery storage. The Balco 260 supports up to 15 kWh of battery capacity, while the Balco 500 can reach up to 30 kWh. Both systems feed up to 800 W into the home grid. The Balco 260 can accept up to 2,400 W of PV power via four MPPTs and deliver a total output of up to 2,300 W. The Balco 500 handles up to 4,300 W of PV power with a high-voltage MPPT design and offers a total output of up to 3,680 W. Bluetti uses a 5VA flame-retardant housing and a predictive intelligent Battery Management System for safety.
