Solar
Solar thermal has been called the ugly duckling of solar: Solar thermal is nearly four times as efficient per square foot as a solar electric, but it just doesn't have the shimmering, cobalt sex appeal of photovoltaics. So, we're not surprised if it took you a while to hear about this kind of solar, even though solar water heaters aren't new.
What is new is our approach to solar thermal. Traditionally, solar thermal contractors have learned just enough plumbing to get by. But Black Cat is a full-service, high-end plumbing outfit. We're the number one green plumbing contractor in Portland.
And now, we're evolving into the city's premier solar thermal installation company.
We're not married to any one particular product line. We want our clients to get exactly what they want. We are ready, willing and able to design a system around what you need. If we haven't worked with a product before, we'll learn and make sure it goes in right the first time.
Our crew is made up of journeyman and apprentice plumbers, whose experience, skill and professionalism give us the versatility to handle all aspects of a solar thermal installation with the same high standard of craftsmanship from beginning to end.
So, what does the ugly duckling of solar turn into when it grows up?
I'll give you a hint:
It's black and has whiskers.
