The rankings span contractors working in utility-scale, commercial, community solar and residential markets, reflecting the breadth of Colorado’s solar industry. Utility-scale developers and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) firms continue to dominate the top of the list as demand for large renewable energy projects remains strong nationwide.
According to Solar Power World, the annual Top Solar Contractors List is based on self-reported installation data verified by the publication. Companies are ranked by the amount of photovoltaic capacity they installed during the previous calendar year rather than by revenue or company size. The list has become one of the industry’s most recognized benchmarks for measuring contractor performance.
