EchoFirst™ is the creator of the revolutionary Echo solar system, which delivers twice as much energy as a basic solar electric "PV" system to Redondo Beach homeowners. For residents who have been waiting for the right moment to get a solar energy system, Echo is the revolution in solar energy they have been waiting for. It captures more of the sun's energy than a basic solar PV system, giving our customers the power to meet a majority of their home's energy needs.
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 up to 50% of the sun's energy. 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. |
