Bluetti Launches Balco 260 and Balco 500 Plug-and-Play Solar Systems

Bluetti has launched the Balco series of plug-and-play solar systems alongside the Balco Transfer Hub in Paris. The new lineup includes the Balco 260 and Balco 500 models, designed for residential energy generation. The company also introduced the Balco Transfer Hub, which serves as a smart grid-tied controller for compliant balcony solar systems.

Balco 260 delivers 2,300 W output with up to 15 kWh expandable capacity

The Balco 260 delivers up to 2,300 W of total output through its off-grid outlet. Users can expand this system by pairing up to six units to achieve a total capacity of 15 kWh and a solar input of 14.4 kW. The larger Balco 500 model provides a maximum output of 3,680 W and supports a high-voltage MPPT design ranging from 70 to 140 V. It accepts up to 4,300 W of solar input and can scale from 5 kWh to 30 kWh.

The Balco series will roll out through Bluetti's official channels and selected partners on a global basis. The company has not yet disclosed specific pricing for the units. Information regarding exact availability dates is also not currently known.

These products support distributed energy networks and integrate with major smart home platforms. The systems are compatible with external control platforms such as Shelly and Everhome. They also work with Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Home Assistant for user convenience.
