Blue Mountains Solar is a locally run and operated business based in the heart of the Blue Mountains at Katoomba. Since 2009, we have designed and installed over 1,500 solar systems, making us one of the most experienced solar teams in the mountains. We care about our local community because we live and work within that community.
When we visit you for a site assessment you can be guaranteed that your job will be given the attention to detail that a good solar system requires. We'll check the position of the sun and other elements around your home, so that you get the best possible results out of your solar system. Blue Mountains Solar use and recommend SunPower's Maxeon 3 400 Watt Solar panel.
The SunPower Maxeon solar cell is the only cell built on a solid copper foundation. Virtually impervious to the corrosion and cracking that degrade conventional panels. They come with a 25 year product and performance warranty. These high efficiency Maxeon Series panels convert more sunlight to electricity producing 31% more power per panel.

Services
Blue Mountains Solar supply and install the most reliable and efficient solar panels available in the world today, the SunPower E 20 327W solar panel. SMA inverters are ready to be coupled with any battery using the SMA Sunny Island. This means you won't have to upgrade your inverter when you decide to get batteries down the track.
Once we have you all connected up, you can login into your Sunny Portal and check your Energy Balance to see how much power you have consumed and how much you have saved. The graph above shows a typical example of live energy consumption and generation. The tabs at the top display Current, Day, Month, Year and Total usage.
LG Chem RESU 6.4 The compact, lightweight and slimline nature of the RESU is world-class. The LG Chem ESS (Energy Storage Solution) offers the ability to use excess energy when the sun goes down. The new RESU series features industry leading continuous power and DC efficency. Designed for easy wall mounting internally or externally.
The Powerhouse was built in 1925 by the Blue Mountains City Council as a coal fired generator to supply electricity to North Katoomba, Medlow Bath and Blackheath. Powered by two Bellis and Morcom steam coal fired generators. Coal was supplied for the mine from where the Scenic Railway is now situated.
We prefer Tigo optimizers because micro inverters like Enphase, can't supply the power required for SunPower solar panels. Also Tigo optimizers don't convert the DC power to AC power on the roof, therefore generating less heat than micro inverters. What this means is that the hotter an electronic device gets, the shorter the life that device has.

I'm pretty impressed with the degree of after install support after the team came back to investigate some questions for us. This was on two occasions and there was no problems with this. I have spoken to the gentleman in the office on more than one occasion to ask questions about connecting the Wifi to the solar controller and he is more than helpful

We used Damian several years ago and was very happy with his installation. I just rang to enquire on whether solar panels require maintenance or to be checked, I was confronted by a grumpy old man who said ‘they aren’t interested’. When I enquired about solar batteries I was told not to waste my money and he hung up on me! Very strange interaction indeed, considering what they describe on their website, and previous positive experience. Such a shame and I can only assume if I’d spoken with Damian, the interaction would have been different?

Blue mts solar did our solar system 8 yrs ago .so well outside warranty .ran them with a problem [not there fault in any way]any they came out had a look. and repaired the problem spending alot of time and money doing it .and did not charge us one cent.
this service is WAY OVER what you would expect .7 years out of warranty.this is a family business with good old fashion values.And all they wanted to do was make us happy.which we are over the moon
when looking at a system think about who is installing it .and what there aftersales service is like.sometimes the cheapest is not the best value.THANK

Had them install our solar system and couldn't be happier. Prompt, friendly and very meticulous. Was able to provide accurate real world advice that put him well ahead of the others. Low pressure selling, just the facts and how it would work in our situation. Was the only installer that came onsite to make a recommendations before presenting us with a system that would work. Thank you!!
