Eagle Point Solar named a 2026 Top Solar Contractor

With 2026 proving to be a milestone year for many in the United States, Solar Power World has released the 15th anniversary edition of the solar industry’s most recognized grouping of solar and energy storage installation companies. The 2026 Top Solar Contractors List was unveiled July 23, and Eagle Point Solar is one of the featured companies on the special list.

The United States recently surpassed 6 million individual solar installations and solar is regularly the most-installed source of new electricity in the country, proving that solar professionals are veteran members of the energy industry. That experience is reflected in the 2026 Top Solar Contractors List, with over 72% of listees having at least 10 years’ experience in solar — 58% have more than 15 years’ experience in solar, storage and energy construction. Eagle Point Solar has been installing solar locally since 2010.

“Despite policy and supply hurdles, the U.S. solar market shows no signs of slowing down,” said Billy Ludt, managing editor of Solar Power World. “Well-run companies are those that can adapt to a changing industry, and we believe the 2026 Top Solar Contractors List features the strongest names in solar development, construction and installation.”

While the Top 5 states for installations in 2026 matched last year (California, Illinois, Texas, New York, Pennsylvania), less recognized states made big gains. Maryland, Ohio and Wisconsin were particularly active markets for Top Solar Contractors in both the large-scale and residential sectors. Eagle Point Solar operates throughout Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin.

Small-scale contractors bucked national assumptions by increasing their presence on the Top Solar Contractors List, with more listees performing work in the residential market than any previous year. The “installer” service category distinction grew 10% from last year, as the 2026 Top Solar Contractors class completed more installations in the non-utility market.

The Top Solar Contractors List is the most recognized annual listing of solar contractors in the United States. Companies on the Top Solar Contractors List are grouped and listed by specific service, market and states by 2025 installed capacity (in kW DC). Eagle Point Solar is featured on the Commercial & Industrial, and Residential lists.

Eagle Point Solar employs over 100 solar professionals with an installation capacity of 12.355 (megawatts) MW of solar power in 2025. Since its founding in 2010, the company has installed over 5,000 solar arrays throughout Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin with a combined capacity of over 108 MW.

“Experience matters. Having reached our 16th year in business, our continued success can be directly attributed to our devoted teams of solar professionals and our clients who continue to support the renewable energy industry and help us advance our pursuit in providing the highest quality solar and solar+storage solutions in the tri-states. Being named a Top Solar Contractor is a testament to the many residents and business owners who have placed their trust in us in helping to make a difference in controlling their rising energy costs and reducing their carbon footprint.” said Jim Pullen, President/CEO of Eagle Point Solar.
