Located in Mesa,
Arizona, ETA Engineering incorporated in 1992 as a hard shell "C"
Corporation with Lane and Ursula Garrett as principals. They
both have started several companies, worked in new product development,
conservation and the Renewables Industry since the mid 70's.
ETA first did new product development and consulting in the Medical
Electronics and Renewables Industry. The opportunity
presented itself for the manufacturing of a photovoltaic
battery charge regulator and metering line of products that
have grown into ETA's current product line. The regulators
are manufactured under a U.S. patent owned by the Garretts.
ETA has since added
numerous renewable energy product lines, engineering, service, full
dealer support and design capability to where needs are met throughout
the broad field of sustainable products, buildings and systems.
Our distinctives
include: well-engineered systems with life-cycle costing, efficiency
and simple human interfaces, as key design factors. This with
factory direct pricing, results in the best "net present dollar value"
for new systems. ETA strives to minimize product costs
through wise purchasing, inventory and transportation cost control,
while advertising primarily through the World Wide Web.
Manufactured products
and economical "kits" permit us to maximize "value added" with
designed-in reliability. ETA regulators, battery chargers,
converters and meters optimize system performance and
efficiency. Photovoltaic electronic controls, design and
manufacturing experience dates back to the 70's. ETA's
Engineering, manufacturing and marketing teams are dedicated to helping
the new paradigm of "sustainability" become obtainable at a reasonable
investment for all levels of world society.
