Bluetti, a California-based provider of portable solar-plus-storage systems, has launched two new energy storage systems for balcony PV applications.

The Balco 260 and Balco 500 integrate core power electronics—including maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controllers, micro-inverters, battery storage and safety modules—into a unified architecture.

The Balco 260 is positioned as an entry-to-mid-tier unit targeting apartment and small household applications. It features a 2.56 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery with integrated heating and supports expansion up to 15 kWh via additional modules. The system provides up to 2,400 W of solar input across four MPPT channels, along with 1,100 W of AC input for charging.
