Eagle Point Solar Achieves Ranking on 2022 Top Solar Contractors List

Despite concerns over supply chain interruptions and tariff investigations, the U.S. solar industry saw record solar and energy storage demand in 2021. Eagle Point Solar can attest to this, having one of its busiest years yet. Solar Power World has recognized the company’s installation success by ranking Eagle Point Solar at No. 165 on the 2022 Top Solar Contractors list.

The Top Solar Contractors list is developed each year by industry magazine Solar Power World to honor the work of solar installers in the United States. Solar firms in the utility, commercial and residential markets are ranked by number of kilowatts installed in the previous year. Companies are grouped and listed by specific services, markets, and states.

“The utility-scale solar market, of course, puts up huge installation numbers each year, but the majority of workers in the industry are constructing projects in the commercial and residential markets, which continue to break records,” said Kelly Pickerel, editor-in-chief of Solar Power World. “Over 85% of the companies on the 2022 Top Solar Contractors List primarily work in the residential and commercial sectors, and they all reported closing out the last year in a positive light.”

“We are grateful to our clients who continue to support the solar energy industry and help us advance our pursuit in providing the highest quality solar and solar+storage solutions throughout Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Our success as the area’s top solar installer is a testament to residents and business owners who have chosen to invest in the future of energy with a firm dedicated to helping them save money while protecting our environment,” said Jim Pullen, President/CEO of Eagle Point Solar.

According to data released by energy research firm Wood Mackenzie — before recent federal decisions to prevent additional tariffs on imported solar panels — the United States is expected to install 11 GW less than originally predicted in 2022, due to continued supply chain constraints, price increases, and interconnection challenges.

Still, a survey of the 2022 Top Solar Contractors class found that 59% predicted their business would increase in the next year, with only 9% assuming business would decrease.

Eagle Point Solar employs 84 workers who installed 8,688 MW of solar power in 2021. Since its founding in 2010, the company has installed 37,325 MW of solar.
