Ten SunTrac Solar Thermal SmartPanel on two Carrier commercial splits in Pineridge Farms

A total of ten 8-feet SunTrac Solar Thermal SmartPanels are supplementing the two commercial splits: a 40-Ton (left) and a 30-Ton Carrier (right).

First active chiller in the world that runs
with the SunTrac SmartPanel

This chiller is rated to typically draw about 63 amps but with supplementary power from the SunTrac panels, the load across three days in 28°C experienced a 57% decrease with an average of 27 amps, plus or minus of 2.5 amps.

Pioneer installation of the SunTrac SmartPanel in the Philippines, in collaboration with the Department of Energy

The Philippines pilot installation involves one 8 x 4 feet SunTrac Panel on a 4-Ton Daikin inverter unit at the DOE Energy Center in Taguig, Metro Manila. Average amp draw is at an astoundingly low 1.78 amps, translating to energy savings of 83%.

Four SunTrac Solar Thermal SmartPanel™ on four Carrier Dual Stage units in the
Animal Clinic of Honolulu

Four SunTrac Solar Thermal SmartPanels installed on three Carrier Dual Stage compressor splits (two six tons and one seven tons) and a Carrier Dual Stage rooftop unit of 7.5 tons. We will be installing a pilot data logger with real time SEER/EER in a few weeks and will share updates on the data collected. Currently, all of these units are running only in the first stage as the SunTrac is more than offsetting the need to go to second stage. Temperatures are now in the high 80 to low 90°F.


The ROI for the entire project, including the Carrier units, will be less than three years. Solar thermal is the single best way to add efficiency to air conditioning.

At a temperature set point of 17°C without SunTrac, measurements were at 15 amps at 220 VAC. With SunTrac, at the same temperature set point, amps dropped to 4.5.
