A new solar thermal product range powered by First Graphene’s PureGRAPH® technology has been released to the UK market by sustainable energy provider Senergy Innovations, offering significant cost savings and efficiency gains for end users.
Seven products developed and manufactured by Ireland-based Senergy are now commercially available, spanning on-roof solar thermal, roof-integrated solar thermal, and automotive applications.
The release comes amid growing UK demand for renewable energy solutions, with the Future Homes Standard set to make rooftop solar a functional requirement for most new builds from 2027.
Senergy’s thermally conductive materials are designed to enhance heat dissipation in electronics, automotive technologies, and solar applications, addressing overheating issues while delivering lighter weight, lower embodied carbon, and streamlined manufacturing.
The company’s roof-integrated solar panels, incorporating polymers with PureGRAPH® to boost thermal conductivity, have been proven to save up to 60 per cent of household water heating energy costs.
They are up to four times more efficient than conventional photovoltaic (PV) heating systems.
The integrated model recently won Best Renewable Product Award at the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland Show in July 2025.
Senergy aims to roll out the panels to 250,000 UK homes, tapping into a market expected to become the fifth largest globally in terms of growth over the next decade.
Installations have already taken place at locations in Ireland and at Stoneybrook University in New York.
Alongside the solar range, Senergy has developed alternative polymer-based thermal management solutions for electric vehicles (EVs) through its SenTherm product line.
These high-performance automotive-grade polymers replace common metal components in EVs, reducing weight and improving corrosion resistance while maintaining strong heat dissipation.
First Graphene Managing Director and CEO Michael Bell said: “Senergy’s commercialisation of several material technologies containing PureGRAPH® is another demonstration of how our product can be used to improve performance across a range of applications.”
Bell said Senergy’s current order volume for PureGRAPH® remains modest but is expected to rise as the company moves ahead with plans to deliver its solar thermal technology to 250,000 homes.
He noted that in the UK, government grants and rebates are helping to drive uptake of solar water heating systems, and congratulated Senergy’s team for reaching a key commercialisation milestone by integrating PureGRAPH® into its products, further demonstrating the material’s proven performance across applications.
Senergy Innovations CTO Findhan Strain said: “Thermally conductive polymers (TCPs) offer huge potential advantages for mass manufacturing heat exchangers.”
Senergy said its proprietary polymer formulations and design innovations are enabling the development of next-generation polymer heat exchangers that offer a strong alternative to traditional metal systems used in solar, automotive, and industrial applications.
The company added that its technology delivers efficient heat transfer while overcoming limitations of existing thermally conductive polymers, providing durability and compatibility with standard moulding methods such as injection moulding and extrusion.
