SunCatch Ltd

What SunCatch Ltd does

SunCatch Ltd is a privately held engineering company headquartered in Evergreen, Colorado, that designs, manufactures, and installs modular concentrating solar thermal (CST) systems under the SunStainable System brand. The company's core technology is a proprietary parabolic trough collector that delivers thermal energy directly from sunlight — without electrical conversion — at up to 92% efficiency, roughly three times the conversion efficiency of standard photovoltaic panels. Each module is 16 feet long, configurable in rows of 1–10 modules, and is paired with stainless-steel insulated thermal energy storage (TES) units that enable weather-independent, 24/7 operation. A trailer-mounted Mobile CST variant extends the platform to remote, emergency, and military deployments.

The commercial product portfolio spans fixed and mobile CST systems, TES units, Sandwich Mirror Reflectors, individual expansion modules, solar-thermal desalination, solar-thermal zero liquid discharge (ZLD), VAST-HP waste-heat recovery, the GraviStore gravity-based energy storage system, Flexible CSST piping, and sectional stainless-steel water tanks. Several of these (VAST-HP, GraviStore, ZLD, Desalination) are positioned as R&D-stage or development products on the company's own taxonomy.

The company serves two primary customer sets: agricultural operations (farms, ranches, greenhouses, dairies, warehouses) needing hot water, space heating, and air heating for processing and storage; and energy-intensive industrial customers (oil & gas, mining, petroleum refining, natural gas processing, food processing, chemicals, pulp & paper, cement) needing process heat, waste heat recovery, and brine or wastewater treatment. Revenue is generated through quote-based direct hardware sales with installation, post-installation maintenance contracts, and component-level sales (modules, TES, water tanks, CSST piping) accessible via the website. A brand ambassador referral program pays independent contractors $1,000 per qualified lead, primarily targeting rural communities, and the company assists customers in accessing USDA REAP grants, the federal ITC, and state-level incentives to reduce upfront cost.
