About SUNTRAC

Get to know us

SunTrac, in 2014, launched a patented thermal panel designed to reduce the energy consumption of air conditioning systems. This innovative approach combines high efficiency air conditioning technology with renewable thermal energy resulting in cleaner, greener cooling.

Over the past 10 years, we have curated OEM partnerships with Copeland and Goodman/Amana, as well as distribution partnerships such as Carrier Hawaii. After gaining traction through these channels, our partnerships lead us to contract manufacturing. Starting in 2024, SunTrac offers purpose-built commercial rooftop units, with built-in analytics and “SunTrac-Ready” piping for quick thermal integration.

To date, we have over 1,500 panel installations in over 10 countries.
