ISLAND PARK, N.Y., April 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- SunPower by EmPower Solar is now offering the SunPower Equinox™ system to New York homeowners.

SunPower by EmPower Solar recently launched a consumer awareness campaign called "Demand Better Solar™" reminding homeowners that solar technology differs widely from brand to brand.
