Blue Mountains Solar | Katoomba solar, batteries and off grid since 2009

We work out of the building that used to burn coal.

The Power House was built in 1920 to light North Katoomba, Medlow Bath and Blackheath. Three steam generators, fed by coal from the mine where the Scenic Railway runs today. It has been ours since 2012.

Three ways to run a house.

Grid connect

Panels, an SMA inverter and consumption monitoring through the Sunny Portal, so you can see what you make, what you send back and what you actually use.

Hybrid and battery

BYD batteries you expand 4kWh at a time, sized off your real usage data rather than a guess. Fronius GEN24 hybrids where the design needs it.

Off grid

The SMA Sunny Island is a true off grid inverter, single or three phase. Every system we build is battery ready, so cutting the cord later is a phone call, not a rebuild.

What we put on your roof.

Panels: SunPower Maxeon 3, 420W all black

Inverters: SMA, 10 year warranty
Hybrid: Fronius GEN24
Batteries: BYD modular, 4kWh blocks
Off grid: SMA Sunny Island
Monitoring: SMA Sunny Portal and Energy App
Also fitted: EV chargers

The Maxeon cell sits on a solid copper foundation, which is why it carries forty years and not the usual ten. Aiko behaves the same for less. We will tell you which one your roof needs.
