EmailToll Brothers, EchoFirst to offer green, energy-efficient home communities in Arizona
Solar electric panels will come standard in Toll houses in Arizona
October 28, 2011
Toll Brothers and EchoFirst, the creator of Echo, a revolutionary new solar energy system that delivers twice the energy of a basic solar electric (PV) system, announced that Echo solar systems will be deployed as the state-of-the-art energy management system within new Toll Brothers communities in Arizona.
Echo supplements conventional solar electric PV panels with a unique solar thermal technology that captures the heat from the PV panels. Echo generates not only electricity, but also hot water for washing and bathing, and thermal energy for home heating and home cooling. This enables Toll Brothers to offer homes that use 70 to 80 percent less energy than a standard code built home.
