The application period for the 14th edition of Solar Power World’s annual Top Solar Contractors List begins today. Any solar PV developer, installer or subcontractor working in the United States can now submit their application on Solar Power World’s website. The deadline to apply to the 2025 Top Solar Contractors List is Friday, May 23, 2025.
“We’re excited to again celebrate the top solar installation companies working in the United States,” said Kelsey Misbrener, managing editor of Solar Power World. “Future federal support of renewable energy may be uncertain, but that doesn’t mean solar construction has just stopped. The industry’s hard work should be recognized, and Solar Power World has new ways to do that with our 2025 Top Solar Contractors List.”
The Solar Power World Top Solar Contractors List is the most recognized annual listing of solar contractors in the United States working in the utility, commercial, community and residential markets. Companies are grouped and listed by specific service, markets and states based on the previous year’s installed kilowatt capacity. The list provides local solar installers with a free marketing opportunity to broadcast their installation accomplishments. Previous lists can be found at solarpowerworldonline.com/top-solar-contractors.
Companies are listed according to their primary service (developer, EPC, installer, electrical subcontractor, installation subcontractor, sales partner) and based on the kilowatts installed in specific markets (residential, commercial, community, utility). The four market lists will also have further divisions based on project type — a new feature of the 2025 Top Solar Contractors List. Applicants will choose their “primary project type” for each market — tracking system vs. fixed-tilt within the utility market, and rooftop vs. ground-mount in the commercial, community and residential markets. These choices will be included as secondary identifiers on the market lists.
All companies involved with the installation of solar projects across the United States are invited to join this exclusive list. Applicants must provide proof of installation numbers by submitting 2024 project details in an Excel document. Solar Power World editors will verify submitted data with state interconnection records and utility records. (Note: Provided information will not be used for any other purpose or provided to others for solicitation. Submitted project data will be destroyed after installation numbers are verified.) Examples of what is required can be found online.
In addition to state, market and service lists based on solar kilowatts, Solar Power World features a Top Solar + Storage Installers sublist, ranking companies based on the amount of energy storage (measured in kilowatt-hours) installed with solar projects. Applicants only have to include an additional column on their Excel document showing storage installations to be considered for this 2025 list.
Project data must be submitted at the time of application. The deadline to apply for the 2025 Top Solar Contractors list is May 23, 2025.
