Using technology to harness the power of daylight

Harnessing natural light for our work and living spaces not only saves on electricity but can also contribute to our health and well-being.

I have this challenge

the problem

By using a network of panels that are fixed on a sunlight tracking system, companies capture and absorb natural light from the outside and then transport it via fibre optics into buildings. This sort of renewable energy can replace other costly, environmentally detrimental energy solutions. Businesses who are ecologically responsible are already looking into alternative solutions, and this sort of tech could help others enter a new era of energy responsibility.

ECHY is a French start-up that offers an environmentally friendly alternative to using electric lighting in offices and other public buildings during the daytime.
