Products and services

• Solar Thermal Collectors High-quality solar thermal collectors that efficiently capture and convert solar energy into heat for water heating, space heating and industrial applications, supplied to residential, commercial and industrial customers in the UAE and GCC.
• Solar PV Systems Cutting-edge photovoltaic systems that harness solar power to generate clean, renewable electricity for homes, businesses and industries, designed to reduce carbon footprint and energy costs.
• Thermosiphon Systems Natural circulation solar water heating systems designed for both residential and commercial applications, built to withstand various climates and provide consistent, eco-friendly hot water.
• Heat Pumps Highly efficient, sustainable and cost-effective heat pump solutions for heating, cooling and hot water needs, providing reliable comfort and long-term energy savings for residential, commercial and industrial users.
• Gas Boilers Natural gas and LPG combustion boilers for hot water and space heating in residential, commercial and industrial applications, designed to be highly efficient, cost-effective and reliable (e.g., Ecoflam 800kW and 1300kW units deployed at Hilton and Holiday Inn).
• Thermodynamic System Energy-efficient thermodynamic system for heating, hot water and cooling that reduces energy use, cuts costs and minimizes environmental impact for residential and commercial users.
• Building-Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) Photovoltaic building materials that replace conventional roofs, skylights or facades, integrating solar electricity generation directly into building envelopes to enhance aesthetics and sustainability (deployed at Sensoria Tower).
• Grey Water Recycling (MBR-based) Systems Custom-engineered Membrane Biological Reactor (MBR) plants that treat and recycle domestic and car wash wastewater, combining underground and overhead tanks to achieve close to 100% reuse (deployed across 12 ENOC car wash stations).
• Building Management System (BMS) Centralized platform that controls and monitors building MEP systems, integrating HVAC, lighting, security, fire safety and energy management for commercial and industrial buildings.
• Solar Thermal Plants Large-scale solar thermal plants for private and public sector clients that improve business efficiency, reduce operating costs and save on energy usage.
• Solar Tanks and Calorifiers Storage tanks (including SS316 stainless-steel calorifiers up to 5,000L capacity) optimized to ensure heated water availability even when sunlight is not directly available, with focus on installation, maintenance and optimization.
• Valves, Pumps and Accessories Comprehensive range of high-quality valves, pumps and accessories designed to optimize fluid control and ensure smooth operation of solar hot water and PV solar systems.
• Renewable Energy Project Engineering Services Full lifecycle professional services — Project Management, Project Design, Sales & Distribution, Installation, Testing & Commissioning, Maintenance and Spare Parts — delivered by the in-house engineering team for residential, commercial and industrial renewable energy and water projects across the UAE and GCC, including Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC) with 24/7 operations support.
