Defining the category
The thermal yield for our borehole-free infrastructure is independently verified (GSENZH) to deliver 55-57 W/m². Furthermore, longitudinal performance monitoring confirms a high seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) of 4.4, with peak operational COP reaching 4.95.
Teratherm is deployed across residential, commercial, and public infrastructure applications where borehole installation is impractical, costly, or planning-restricted. By harvesting three energy sources simultaneously: solar gain, ambient air, and stable ground temperature, Surface Thermal maintains consistent output regardless of weather conditions.
Three Sources. Total Reliability.
Unlike single-source air or ground systems, Surface Thermal captures energy from three distinct sources simultaneously, delivering consistent output regardless of weather.
Solar Gain
Direct and diffuse solar radiation absorbed through the engineered surface.
Ambient Air
Convective heat transfer from air passing across the surface area, effective even on overcast days.
Ground Store
Stable subsurface temperatures acting as a thermal buffer, providing consistent baseline energy year-round.
No Boreholes Required
Installed at just 50mm depth, eliminating expensive drilling and planning complexity.
Completely Silent
No outdoor fan units means zero noise pollution, ideal for noise-sensitive areas.
Heritage Friendly
Invisible installation makes it perfect for listed buildings and conservation areas.
Triple-Source Energy
Captures solar gain, ambient air and stable ground temperature simultaneously.
