Nothing on the walls. Heat only the rooms you use. Slim white PowerBoard panels on the ceiling warm people and everything in the room directly, instead of heating the air first. Supplied and installed across the UK.
PowerBoard ceiling panels run on 230V mains electricity. That means they connect directly to your solar PV system and run on free daytime energy. Add battery storage and Loxone smart control and you have a completely self-sufficient heating system monitored from your phone.
"Solar panels and batteries were installed and commissioned all within 4 days. The system has been operating for 3 full weeks and I am very pleased with the results. At least 5 evenings I have had free electricity all evening, and overall savings - even at this time of year - seem to be good. Can't wait for brighter, longer days. The installation process was speedy, efficient and I was kept fully informed throughout. I would certainly recommend PoweRad to anyone thinking of installing solar panels."

Most electric heating systems waste significant energy on heat-up and standby. PowerBoard panels are different, and that difference is exactly what makes solar pairing so effective.
PowerBoard panels convert electricity to radiant heat at 99.7% efficiency. There is no warm-up period where energy is wasted, no heat lost through pipes or ducts, and no standby consumption. Every unit of solar electricity you generate goes directly into heating your rooms.
Solar generation peaks 10am-3pm, which is exactly when you can pre-heat your home for the evening. With battery storage, Loxone pre-heats rooms using free solar during the day, then uses stored battery power for evening warmth. The timing match is near-perfect.
Switching from gas to PowerBoard eliminates the gas standing charge completely, currently around £200 a year just for the privilege of being connected. Combined with solar, you are no longer buying fuel. You are producing and using your own.
PoweRad is a certified Silver Partner. The Loxone Miniserver ties your PowerBoard panels, solar, and battery together into one intelligent system you control from a single app.
Each PowerBoard panel is controlled individually. Set a different temperature for every room, and Loxone will learn exactly how long each room takes to warm up, automatically adjusting start times so every room is at the right temperature when you need it.
Loxone's occupancy sensors detect when rooms are empty and switch heating off automatically. Before you return home, the system pre-heats to your preferred temperature. You never heat an empty house.
Window contacts tell the Miniserver when a window is open in a room. Heating in that room pauses automatically, no wasted energy, and resumes once the window closes.
When your solar panels are generating surplus electricity, Loxone automatically switches on heating loads to use that free energy before it is exported to the grid at low rates. Your solar generation heats your home first.
If you are on a variable tariff like Octopus Go (7.5p/kWh overnight), Loxone schedules battery charging and heating during the cheapest hours. It also factors in weather forecasts to pre-heat ahead of cold days.
Monitor live room temperatures, energy generation, battery state, and heating schedules from anywhere via the Loxone app. Adjust settings remotely, receive alerts (e.g. a window left open), and view your energy savings in real time.
The Loxone app gives you a live dashboard of your entire system. You see solar generation, battery charge level, which rooms are heating, and your live energy costs, all on one screen.
Each element works on its own. Together, they create a home that generates its own heat, stores its own energy, and manages itself intelligently.
99.7% efficient infrared heating. 250W integrated (plastered flush, invisible), 500W and 750W surface-mount. 10-year warranty, 30+ year lifespan. The UK's first integrated 230V ceiling heating system.
Generates free electricity from daylight. Powers your heating directly during the day. Surplus is exported via the Smart Export Guarantee or stored in a battery for later use. 0% VAT on installation.
Stores solar-generated electricity for use after sunset. Combined with an off-peak tariff, the battery charges at 7.5p/kWh overnight and powers heating during peak-rate hours, dramatically cutting grid costs.
The Loxone Miniserver coordinates all three systems automatically. Solar priority, presence detection, window sensors, off-peak scheduling, per-room temperature, all managed remotely via the Loxone app.
PoweRad holds exclusive UK distribution and installation rights for PowerBoard, and works with Loxone as an integration partner. Every installation is carried out by our own qualified team, Part P compliant, BEAB Approved 250 panel, 10-year manufacturer's warranty on panels, and a 2-year installation warranty.
Yes. PowerBoard panels run on standard 230V mains electricity, which means they connect directly to your solar PV system with no special converter or inverter needed. During daylight hours, solar-generated electricity powers the panels first before any grid electricity is drawn. With a Loxone controller, this prioritisation happens automatically.
No, but a battery significantly improves the economics. Without a battery, your solar directly offsets daytime heating usage. Add a battery and you can store cheap overnight electricity (e.g. Octopus Go at 7.5p/kWh) to use for evening and morning heating, reducing grid use to a minimum.
The Loxone Miniserver acts as the central controller. It switches each PowerBoard panel on and off per room, learns how long each room takes to reach temperature, turns heating off when nobody is home, pauses a room when a window is open, and automatically uses free solar electricity for pre-heating before switching to grid power. You monitor and adjust everything via the Loxone app on your phone.
Yes. PowerBoard surface-mount panels (500W and 750W) require no ceiling void access and mount to any ceiling surface. Loxone Air uses wireless sensors and controls, eliminating the need for new wiring throughout the property. Solar PV can be added to most roof types.
