SolaRay Infrared Panels
SolaRay infrared radiant heating panels deliver comfortable, energy-efficient warmth by directly heating people and objects rather than air. These ultra-thin, ceiling-mounted panels provide even temperature distribution without drafts or cold spots. Completely silent operation eliminates noise associated with traditional heating systems while improving indoor air quality by avoiding air circulation that spreads allergens and pollutants.
Energy-Efficient Heating
SolaRay panels offer significant energy savings compared to conventional heating systems. With lower installation costs than ducted heat pumps and minimal maintenance requirements, they provide the lowest lifetime ownership costs. The system's radiant heating technology reduces energy consumption by focusing heat exactly where needed without wasting energy on unoccupied spaces.
Panel Installation
Installation services for SolaRay panels provide simple, cost-effective integration into residential and commercial spaces. Panels mount easily on ceilings like lighting fixtures, eliminating complex ductwork requirements. Professional installation ensures optimal panel placement and electrical connections while maintaining clean, modern aesthetics through paintable surfaces that blend with interior decor.

Questions
How do SolaRay infrared panels work?
SolaRay panels emit far-infrared radiation that directly warms people and objects in the room rather than heating air. This creates even temperatures from floor to ceiling without drafts.

Can I install SolaRay panels myself?
Installation requires professional electricians, but our dealers provide guidance. Panels mount like light fixtures with included installation manuals and support materials.
Do SolaRay panels improve air quality?
Yes, by eliminating air circulation, SolaRay panels reduce dust, allergens, and pollutants that traditional forced-air systems distribute throughout buildings.
What warranty covers SolaRay panels?
All SolaRay panels include an industry-leading Lifetime Warranty that covers manufacturing defects and ensures performance through their 40-year expected lifespan.
Are SolaRay panels suitable for commercial spaces?

Perfect retrofit heating for my Berkeley house. replaced the gas wall furnace when we installed solar, and heated the whole house with less energy than we used to heat one room. if you have solar or really cheap electricity you should seriously consider as the cost is significantly less than a hydronic radiant system. I did my whole pv array plus the ducoterra for less than the cost of a boiler, pump and tubing, not to mention the much easier install.

Dear Ducoterra - We had your SolaRay infrared radiant ceiling panels installed in our guest bedroom this past summer and now that the weather is changing I have had a chance to turn them on. Wow, is all I can say! What a wonderful warm and comfortable room I walked back into after turning it on. So much better than the noisy wall heater we had. The entire room was a delightful and comfortable temperature rather than just the side by the wall heater. Thank you for your wonderful product! I am also looking forward to the lower electric bills.

I love the Infrared panels. Having the heat float up from the floor and cabinets is really nice. Waking up to a warmed up kitchen and bathroom every morning is a joy.

We are very happy with our Ducoterra radiant panels. We mounted them on the ceiling of our m. bedroom and bathroom. They are an extremely comfortable form of heat. They are quiet, with the exception of slight ticking sometimes as they heat up. The only draw back is they were a little difficult to mount, but nothing too complex, and one ticked more than the other so my husband removed the little screw hole covers, which was nearly impossible, and re adjusted the screws/molly bolts. They quieted down and we also got used to the slight noise so we don't notice it all now, unlike the heat pump kicking
