It always takes some tenacity to build a profitable solar business, but maybe even more than usual this past year.<\/p>\n<p>The 2024 Top Solar Contractors installed solar in every state except North Dakota (hey Gov. Burgum, maybe do something about that?). Nearly 70% of the companies representing this 2024 class have been in business more than a decade. For an industry that\u2019s still finding its footing in many ways, there\u2019s a nation full of veteran contractors providing stability.<\/p>\n<p>Despite NEM 3.0 putting a damper on residential installations, California still had as many 2024 Top Solar Contractors as the entire Midwest. Eighteen percent of this year\u2019s installers are headquartered in the Golden State.<\/p>\n<p>On the large-scale, our top installer this year put in over 3.5 GW \u2014 up about 28% from last year&#8217;s top number. With IRA incentives and supportive state policies for community solar and other segments, the industry isn&#8217;t slowing down anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p>In this issue, we showcase the full list of top solar installers in the country and break down the Top 10s by markets, services and states. Read on for our feature stories on some standout 2024 companies in Maine, Oregon and in between. And don\u2019t miss our special awards for the Greenest and Most Forward-Thinking Contractors, along with some individual recognitions.<\/p>\n<p>We have a great time connecting with our Top Solar Contractors every year, and we hope it shows through in this issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Solar Power World Editors<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations to the 2024 Top Solar Contractors!
