Basic PV panels draw energy only from a narrow spectrum of the sun's energy to create electricity. The remaining energy, which is mostly in the form of heat, remains unused. The simple but powerful idea behind Echo™ is to capture a much wider spectrum of the sun's energy – to utilize those same PV panels to generate both electricity and heat.
Because Echo uses the same PV panel to generate both electrical and thermal (heat) energy, it's more efficient. Echo transforms a 15% efficient PV panel into a 50% efficient panel. It's like turbo-charging your solar energy system.
An Echo solar system generates twice* as much energy as a basic solar electric ("PV") system and will save you more money.
