The SEAI Energy Awards in Dublin are a highly regarded annual event for companies in the energy sector, with the emphasis on innovation and cutting-edge technology.

Panasonic RAC Solo

Panasonic was among the leaders in product innovation, attaining the title of Best Innovation with the RAC Solo, a standalone air-to-air heat pump system. Designed with no outdoor unit or refrigerant connection, and featuring only two 162mm holes and two ducts, this design saves on installation costs, time, and effort. The discreet yet elegant indoor unit boasts a fully metal chassis, providing a premium look with a robust body. The new RAC Solo unit also offers multiple operation modes, including cooling, heating, and dehumidifying, as well as functions for noise reduction and energy savings during sleep.

Aquarea M Series

Equally as impressive, Panasonic’s Aquarea M Series range of air-towater heat pumps was awarded a Highly Commended Award in the Best Renewable product category. The Aquarea M series provides high energy efficiency for both residential and commercial applications, utilising the more natural refrigerant R290.

Delivering maximum efficiency and comfort, the M Series heat pump range maintains a high-water flow temperature of up to 75°C at -10°C outside and supplies 55°C hot water at -25°C. The T-CAP technology sustains heating capacity down to -20°C and can work down to -28°C, ideal for retrofit projects requiring high water temperatures.

Additionally, it can achieve a DHW storage temperature of up to 65°C or perform a sterilisation cycle without the use of a direct electric heater. T-CAP technology offers maintained capacity, cost, and space savings, requiring less power.

This flexible range is available in capacities from 9kW and 12kW (Single or 3-phase), and 16kW, 20kW, 25kW, and 30kW (3-phase). The 9kW, 12kW, and 16kW units can connect to four different indoor unit options. The 20kW, 25kW, and 30kW units offer a Standalone Remote Controller or Control Module, and the system can provide up to 300kW with an Aquarea cascade unit.
