More Power to You

Echo™ represents a major leap forward in the evolution of solar energy. Most solar energy systems today use "PV" technology. They convert sunlight directly into the electricity that you use to light your home, or power your appliances. But what you might not know is that PV systems only capture about 15% of the sun's energy. The remaining energy, mostly in the form of heat or thermal energy, remains untapped.

An echo solar system captures more of this untapped energy. In fact, it harnesses over 50% of the sun's energy versus about 15% from a basic PV system. And as a result, it allows you to do a whole lot more. In addition to producing electricity, it will provide hot water (one of the biggest energy usages in most homes) plus help heat and cool your home. And if you have a pool or spa, it can heat that too.

Satisfying more of your home's energy needs gives you more control and greater savings. That's what we mean when we say More Power to You.
