Econation light energy
EcoNation offers ecological daylight solutions for selected industrial applications. Its flagship product is the intelligent daylight dome called the LightCatcher. Thanks to an advanced mirror and technology-based system, the LightCatcher brings more daylight into buildings than traditional light shafts or domes. The LightCatcher generates green energy and plenty of light, and prevents temperature fluctuations.
In addition, EcoNation’s Light Energy program consists of financing large industrial lighting projects in return for a part of the profit. Here’s how it works: EcoNation installs LightCatcher light domes on the customer's roof, taking full financial responsibility, monitoring the energy savings in real time together with the customer, and sharing the profits with him. The customer enjoys the same intensity of light as before, but at a much lower price. He immediately saves 20% to 70% on his energy bill without investing a single euro.
