When it comes to sustainable heating, the combination of infrared heating, solar panels, and battery storage is one of the most efficient, future-proof solutions available today. Add a Sunamp thermal battery for your hot water, and you’ve built a home energy system that’s almost entirely self-sufficient.

This setup doesn’t just save on bills — it cuts your carbon footprint, eliminates the need for fossil fuels, and gives you full control over how you generate, store, and use energy.

The Power of Infrared Heating

Infrared panels heat objects and people directly, not the air. This makes them incredibly efficient and ideal for solar-powered homes.

Benefits of Infrared Heating:

• Up to 30–40% lower running costs than traditional convection systems

• Zero maintenance – no moving parts, pumps, or servicing

• Even heat distribution – no cold spots or draughts

• No air movement – perfect for allergy sufferers

• Fast response time – instant heat when switched on

• Invisible options – plastered-in panels integrate seamlessly into ceilings or walls

• Smart controls – easily managed via Wi-Fi thermostats and apps

Infrared works perfectly with solar energy because it delivers targeted, low-demand heat, meaning you can warm specific zones rather than wasting energy on the whole house.

Solar Panels + Battery Storage: Your Personal Power Station

Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity. Pairing them with a battery allows you to store excess power for when the sun isn’t shining.

Benefits of Solar & Battery Storage:

• Reduced energy bills – use your own free electricity day and night

• Backup power during grid outages

• Lower carbon emissions – renewable, clean energy source

• Energy independence – less reliance on the National Grid

• Smart integration with infrared heating and EV chargers

• Optimised usage – batteries ensure no solar energy goes to waste

With systems like Tesla Powerwall, GivEnergy, or Pylontech, your home can run almost entirely off-grid during much of the year.

Sunamp: Hot Water Without the Boiler

The Sunamp thermal battery is a game-changer for domestic hot water. Instead of heating a cylinder full of water, Sunamp stores energy as phase change material (PCM) releasing it instantly when hot water is needed.

Benefits of Sunamp Hot Water Systems:

• Compact and space-saving – replaces bulky water tanks

• Super-efficient – up to four times more efficient than electric water heaters

• Fast recovery times – instant hot water on demand

• Compatible with solar and batteries – charge during the day, use anytime

• Low maintenance – no scale, no corrosion, long lifespan

When combined with solar panels and infrared heating, Sunamp completes the circle — a fully electric, renewable, and maintenance-free heating and hot water system.

The Sustainable Home of Tomorrow

By linking infrared heating, solar generation, battery storage, and Sunamp hot water, you can:

• Cut household energy use by over 70%

• Achieve near net-zero emissions

• Reduce dependency on gas entirely

• Maintain consistent comfort and control year-round

This isn’t just sustainable — it’s smart living. Quiet, efficient, and designed for the future.
