Low-cost, high-comfort
Infrared Radiant Ceiling Panels are a low-cost, high-comfort, energy efficient heating system for your home. This simple proven technology directly heats people and objects in a room, just like sunshine. Infrared panels make you feel comfortable faster, without wasting energy to heat the air in a room itself. Just like a ceiling mounted light fixture lights a larger area of a room than a wall sconce would, infrared radiant heat is most effective from the ceiling. At just ½ inch thick, Ducoterra’s radiant ceiling panels are the slimmest on the market providing you with a barely noticeable, and powerfully efficient heat source. They warm you quickly, with zero noise, air movement, or maintenance.
With Infrared Radiant Ceiling Panels you can eliminate airborne allergens and carbon combustion in your home heating system. Independently tested as free from Electromagnetic fields (EMFs), these radiant panels are perfect as a whole home, supplemental solution with a Ductless Heat Pump or as a replacement for cadet and baseboard heaters. With an expected 40-year life, radiant ceiling panels are also one of the most cost effective heating systems over the lifetime of the product.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to increases in cost of components and their transport to the factory, Ducoterra will be raising prices for all orders placed after January 10th, 2022
How does it work?
The heating panels contain an electrical resistance wire that warms as current is passed through it. SolaRay panels are warm, but not so hot to the touch when in operation to hurt you like other styles of radiant heaters. They are backed with reflective material and high-performance insulation to direct the heat downward into the living space. Ducoterra’s SolaRay panels utilize state of the art engineering and materials to provide the maximum output for your dollar. They are a perfect partner in creating clean and healthy indoor air quality!

- Panels being used for supplemental heat require fewer watts per square foot
- Vaulted ceilings or rooms with significant glass require 7-10 watts per square foot depending on height
- Ceilings below 8′ in height should be fitted with low-watt density panels
