Creating Dynamic Displays for Faith-Based Organizations with Epson Projection Technology

Matching Technology with the Power of Presence in Worship Environments, Epson Launches Dedicated Web Resource Page and Special Pricing Program

LOS ALAMITOS, Calif., Feb. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The demand for immersive and engaging experiences is on the rise in faith-based settings as it is across today’s live events, schools and consumer attractions. The good news – these experiences are more attainable today than ever with recent technology advancements and cost-efficient solutions. Oftentimes faith-based organizations are working within limited budgets and projectors are an affordable display solution for bringing big, bright, vivid images to churches, lecture halls, temples, and other places of worship.

Epson Provides Insight on Creating Dynamic Displays for Faith-Based Settings Using Projection Technology

To help faith-based organizations get started, Epson has launched a new webpage that includes resources dedicated to assisting the faith-based community in selecting the right projector solutions for their space and provide support long after installation. Providing end-users with access to special pricing, Epson also introduced the Faith-Based Organization Projector Pricing Program to help make the most out of their technology budget. Additionally, the program offers assistance in connecting faith-based organizations to dealers and distributors in their area and online training and resources. Visit the new webpage to view available resources and download a copy of the special program pricing.

“Projectors are powerful visual tools with the flexibility to enhance almost any space across worship facilities and illuminate services with captivating visuals,” said Gavin Downey, group product manager, large venue projectors, Epson America, Inc. “Whether displaying song lyrics and sermon outlines, videos and stills with important information, or movies during Sunday school, projectors offer versatile imagery at an affordable cost to help breathe new life into gathering places. There is power that comes with being fully present during worship and Epson is committed to providing immersive experiences that make that kind of presence possible.”

With an extensive range of projectors available, from portable to interchangeable lens options with up to 30,000 lumens1 and various key features, the following are a few things to consider when looking for the right solutions to fit your faith-based display needs.

Consider the Room: Using the industry-standard brightness measurement of lumens, today’s projectors offer an extensive range of options. When determining the number of lumens needed, three key factors come into play – the size of the room, the size of the display and how much light is present while projectors are in use. You also don’t want to go too bright in a smaller space, as this might impact the experience for attendees if the brightness is too overwhelming. Epson’s projector lineup offers an extensive range of lumen levels with 3-chip, 3LCD technology to deliver crisp image quality and outstanding color brightness in virtually any lighting environment. Epson’s throw distance calculator has a brightness and contrast guide to pick the best projector for the space and its lighting conditions.

Content Matters: The type of content that will be displayed is also an important element when deciding the best projector solution for your space. In rooms with higher ambient lighting conditions or larger screens, depending on where the audience is viewing content from, higher resolution and color light output will play an important role. If projectors are going to be used for more simple presentations, perhaps in worship center classrooms, choosing a lower resolution and lower lumen option would be appropriate. The ease of content design and management is also an important factor to consider. Some projectors today offer built-in creative tools and easy-to-use apps for seamless content swapping and to help empower creativity – even for the less tech savvy. Plus, free software tools allow for control and management of multiple projectors and today’s edge blending and image stacking can be automated with built-in advanced features and optional accessories such as the attachable PixAlign™ camera.

Aesthetics and Ambiance: In today’s diverse and varied faith-based settings where a smaller church structure may play an important role in the overall tranquility of services, or a larger warehouse provides a gathering space with louder, upbeat services, it’s important for display technology to be adaptable and flexible across different environments. Projectors can easily blend into virtually any room and project onto a wall, screen or 3D object. And unlike bulky flat panels and LED walls that are most often permanently installed or inconvenient to move, projectors allow users to regain space when not in use. From portable powerhouses to state-of-the-art models capable of ultra-large, experiential displays, projectors offer a simple display solution with the capability to easily customize and configure display aspect ratio and display size settings to accommodate different worship venues and content.

Low Maintenance and Adaptability: Keeping budget in mind, the ability to adapt and withstand various space conditions over time with less maintenance is important for display technology. Projection provides an affordable portable solution that can be moved and used within different rooms or spaces, rather than being bound by a frame. In recent years, the shift to laser technology and more compact solutions, along with easier installation and swappable lens options, have impacted the projector market. Projectors today are designed to be more adaptable across different spaces and built with professional-grade reliability to provide peace of mind knowing the projector won’t disrupt services or leave anyone in the dark.

Engineered for seamless integration into various infrastructures to function exactly how – and when – needed, Epson’s extensive lineup of affordable and reliable projectors are designed to help communicate congregations and elevate services in today’s faith-based settings. Powered by state-of-the-art 3-chip, 3LCD technology, Epson projectors deliver crisp image quality and amazing color brightness to engage everyone in the room. Built-in user-friendly tools, free software and an extensive lineup of optional lenses and accessories also make installation and setup much easier and manageable, and users never have to change a bulb again with the Epson laser projectors’ 20,000 hour, virtually maintenance-free laser light source.2 Offering peace-of-mind ownership with top-quality customer service, learn more about Epson solutions for churches at https://epson.com/church-projectors.

Fox ESS Celebrates Strong Momentum with Integrated Solar Storage & Charging Solutions at Smart Energy 2026

Published

on

By

SYDNEY, May 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fox ESS, a global leader in renewable energy solutions, attended Smart Energy 2026 during 6-7 May as a platinum sponsor. At the event, Fox ESS showcased its next-generation approach to solar storage and EV charging solution, delivering a seamless, future-ready energy experience for homeowners and installers across Australia.

Integrated Solutions Tailored for Aussie Homes

At Smart Energy 2026, Fox ESS highlighted its storage-to-charging solution, designed to make everyday energy use more convenient for local residents. With performance-led products and proven market traction, Fox ESS is set to play its part in building a more resilient energy future for Australia.

Battery Systems

Fox ESS continues to build momentum in the battery market. Sunwiz, an Australian solar consultancy, recently reported that Fox ESS ranked No.1 in March for installation capacity. And the company also revealed it has installed more than 25,000 systems in April. During the exhibition, Sunwiz presented Fox ESS with an award, recognising the company as Top Solar Company for Fastest Growing Battery.

CQ7 V6+ High Voltage Battery (42kWh and above)
Building on Fox ESS’ proven strengths, compact design and high capacity, CQ7 V6+ is well suited to medium-sized households and ensure the free use of electricity and maximize the self-consumption.EQ4800 High Voltage Battery (28kWh)
A reliable choice for smaller households, designed for efficient day-to-day energy storage.

Alongside its battery range, Fox ESS showcased all-in-one systems, including Stackable AIO and EVO, designed to simplify installation while maintaining a high standard of design and presentation.

Inverters

Fox ESS offers a range of inverters to suit local requirements, supported by up to 200% PV oversizing and a 10-year product warranty.

Single-phase: H1‑G2 (3–6kW); KH series (7–10.5kW)Three-phase: H3 Smart (5–15kW); H3 Pro (15–29.9kW); H3 Plus (50–125kW)

EV Chargers

With EV adoption accelerating, Fox ESS also offers EV charging solutions with solar linkage, designed to work across its inverter portfolio. The chargers provide robust, smart energy management, including dynamic load balancing to help protect home circuits.

A Series (7.3kW / 11kW / 22kW): IP65 and IK08 protection, OCPP-compliant.L Series (7.3kW / 11kW): straightforward installation with multiple colour options.

Big Battery Still Takes Centre Stage

As the Cheaper Home Battery Program moves into a new phase under an updated rebate policy, interest in larger battery systems continues to grow, particularly as more households consider EV upgrades amid rising fuel costs. More EVs typically mean households need greater energy availability, making higher-capacity storage an increasingly attractive option.

Looking ahead, from 1 July 2026, the Australian Government’s Solar Sharer Offer (SSO) will provide eligible households with three hours of free daily electricity to align with peak solar generation. Households with larger batteries will be well placed to make the most of this opportunity.

Fox ESS is also working with local VPP partners, including Amber Electric and Origin Loop VPP, helping homeowners unlock maximum value while supporting greater grid stability.

Maimai Comes Alive at the Exhibition

Visitors to the Fox ESS stand experienced a full programme of brand activations across the event. Following the online announcement, Sydney served as Maimai’s first physical stop, bringing the community together for face-to-face engagement. Attendees queued to take photos with the brand’s friendly and recognisable mascot.

Long-Term Commitment to Australia

Fox ESS has opened two local offices in Melbourne and Sydney, with more than 30 dedicated specialists supporting local customer needs. The company is also looking to play a wider role in Australia’s energy transition.

Notably, Ian Thorpe made his first in-person appearance at Fox Night, where he presented partners with awards. At the event party, Fox ESS also hosted a battery installation challenge, featuring eight rounds of competition, with the final winners receiving a range of prizes.

“We’re delighted to see such a strong result following the rollout of local policy. With nearly 400,000 Australian households now installing batteries, Fox ESS has played a key role, but this is only the beginning. We’re committed to keeping momentum and helping make a smarter, more reliable energy future a reality for more homes.” said Brooks Richard Geng, APAC & Middle East Managing Director, Fox ESS.
