Senergy Launches Seven PureGRAPH-Enhanced Products, Targets UK Solar Market Growth

A New Chapter in Solar Thermal Technology

First Graphene Limited (ASX – FGR) has announced a significant commercial milestone with the release of a solar thermal product range powered by its PureGRAPH technology, brought to market by its partner Senergy Innovations. The launch in the UK marks a strategic step into one of the world’s fastest-growing renewable energy markets, driven by the upcoming Future Homes Standard policy set to take effect in 2027.

Senergy’s portfolio includes seven products spanning on-roof solar thermal panels, integrated solar thermal solutions, and advanced automotive polymers. These products leverage PureGRAPH’s conductive polymer technology to enhance heat dissipation, a critical factor in improving solar panel efficiency and managing thermal loads in electric vehicles.

Efficiency Gains and Cost Savings for Homeowners

The solar panels developed by Senergy, incorporating PureGRAPH, are reported to save up to 60% on household water heating energy costs. Their thermal conductivity is up to four times greater than traditional photovoltaic heating systems, allowing for more efficient energy transfer and reduced reliance on conventional energy sources. The panels’ ability to be integrated directly into roof designs offers aesthetic and practical advantages, a feature recently recognised with the Best Renewable Product Award at the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland Show.

With the UK government mandating renewable energy generation in new homes, primarily through solar installations, Senergy’s plan to roll out these panels to 250,000 homes positions the company, and by extension First Graphene, at the forefront of a substantial market expansion. This rollout is further supported by grants and rebates incentivising adoption, underscoring the commercial viability of the technology.

Beyond Solar – Automotive and Industrial Applications

Beyond solar, Senergy’s SenTherm range of thermally conductive polymers addresses the growing need for efficient heat management in electric vehicles and industrial heat exchangers. By replacing metal components with lightweight, corrosion-resistant polymers enhanced by PureGRAPH, these materials offer manufacturers design flexibility, reduced embodied carbon, and simplified production processes.

First Graphene’s CEO Michael Bell highlighted the strategic importance of these developments, noting that while current order volumes remain modest, the potential demand driven by Senergy’s ambitious rollout plans and supportive policy environment could significantly boost PureGRAPH’s market footprint.

Looking Ahead

The commercial release of these products not only validates PureGRAPH’s versatility across energy and automotive sectors but also signals a growing trend towards sustainable, high-performance materials in critical infrastructure. As the UK solar market accelerates and electric vehicle adoption expands, First Graphene’s technology stands to play an increasingly pivotal role.
