The Hybrid Energy System
Kohler is proud to introduce the Hybrid energy system with its world-class Insight™ Touchless faucet portfolio. Coupled together,
these revolutionary technologies are changing the conversation about conservation.
It’s simple, really. Our Hybrid energy system features a hybrid energy cell that provides maintenance-free power for 30 years.
That means no turbines, no photovoltaic cells, no periodic battery replacement. It just works without hassle. Day after day, month
after month, year after year.

InnovativeThe Hybrid energy system features patented technology that prevents high-current draws, resulting in a very long life. |
EconomicalThe Hybrid energy system is quick to install and doesn’t require regular battery replacement, saving hours of manual labor and reducing mainte- nance costs. |
GreenThe Hybrid energy system is created with environmentally friendly materials. And since Insight Touchless faucets run on Hybrid energy cells, they prevent untold numbers of alkaline and lithium batteries from burdening the world’s landfills. |

3 Decades. 3 Stages.Kohler combines the innovative technology of the Hybrid energy system with the adaptive infrared technology of Insight™ faucets to offer an extremely long-lasting energy solution. The blend of greater power storage and reduced discharge allows the hybrid energy cell to power the Hybrid energy system for 30 years. Or, in other words, the hybrid energy cell can complete at least 1.5 million cycles (based on one use every 10 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year for 30 years). And here’s how: |
|
 |
1. Insight Sensor TechnologyInsight sensors feature proprietary circuit technology that requires only a fraction of the power standard infrared sensors use. Our patented low-energy-draw sensor technology allows the faucet to harvest the full potential of the power source. |
2. Internal CapacitorThe Hybrid energy system features a hybrid internal capacitor, which protects against high-current draws and preserves the life of the hybrid energy cell for 30 years or more. |
|
3. Energy StorageThe Hybrid energy system is uniquely engineered to perform with little to no self-discharge and store energy significantly longer than a traditional battery. |

Insight™ Touchless Faucets
KOHLER® faucets with Insight technology feature an advanced infrared sensor that adapts to its environment. After analyzing
the surrounding area, Insight technology calibrates the sensor to eliminate false actuations and optimize the faucet’s performance
for decades to come.
