Solana Beach, Calif. — Open Energy Corp., a developer of BIPV products, energy management applications and clean solar energy solutions, has unveiled a new home energy control panel, dubbed the EcoTouch Energy Management System. The EcoTouch System is designed to help homeowners save and control energy by lowering electricity costs.
The EcoTouch System was developed by Advanced Telemetry, a technology innovator with a focus on resource conservation. Open Energy is partnering with Advanced Telemetry to develop and market the EcoTouch System.
In addition to controlling energy resources and electricity uses, the EcoTouch System gives homeowners a centralized, simple mechanism to control a wide-variety of home systems from any Internet connection. It offers a customizable user interface and several different graphic options.
The EcoTouch Energy Management System includes a touchscreen information display and action tool that captures and displays home energy use and solar power system production. The system is connected to a homeowner's solar installation and provides real-time detailed information including the number of kilowatt hours (kWh) produced by the system on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis.
In addition, the EcoTouch system calculates the positive environmental impact and displays a variety of important metrics such as carbon emissions, number of trees saved and the equivalent auto miles avoided. It also tracks the total energy demand for a home and the net energy usage. The home energy use is calculated by monitoring the lighting systems and appliances, among other devices. It is also calculated in kWh and displayed graphically on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis.
