Maine Solar Solutions Named A Top 2025 Solar Contractor

[FREEPORT, MAINE July 22, 2025] — The renewable energy industry is entering a new era, with deep federal cuts to programs that stoked astronomical growth over the past four years. Still, the solar industry broke record after record in 2024, the largest single year of new capacity added to the grid by any energy technology in over two decades. Maine Solar Solutions is one of the companies that contributed to the milestone installation year and is recognized as a 2025 Top Solar Contractor by Solar Power World.

The Top Solar Contractors List is the most recognized annual listing of solar contractors in the United States. It is compiled annually by industry magazine Solar Power World to recognize the work of solar installers to decarbonize the grid and support home-grown, local energy. Maine Solar Solutions is ranked at No. 222 overall and No. 49 for residential installations in the nation.

“At a time when the federal government is doing everything it can to cut solar power down, the gigawatts put up by our 2025 Top Solar Contractors emphasize just how crucial it is to our nation’s energy mix,” said Kelsey Misbrener, managing editor of Solar Power World. “From the smallest residential projects to the largest utility-scale solar farms, these installations are keeping the lights on and keeping power affordable.”

The U.S. installed nearly 50 gigawatts (GW) of new solar capacity in 2024, with solar and storage accounting for 84% of all new electric generating capacity added to the grid. Maine solar installers were responsible for installing 26.7 megawatts (MW) of residential solar capacity alone. Companies on the Top Solar Contractors List are undoubtedly preparing for some uncertainty in 2026, but the need for quick buildout of new energy resources is only going to grow.

“Our team is proud to be recognized in this way once again,” said Maine Solar Solutions owner and founder Sam Zuckerman. “Being named a Top Solar Contractor in the country speaks to the incredible skill and dedication of each employee. From initial intake with our solar advisors to the final panel being laid by our installers, each project is approached with care.”

Maine Solar Solutions employs 50 employees and installed 4,502,195 kW of solar power in 2024. Since its founding in 2012, the company has installed 16,263,752 kW of solar across the state. As Maine’s largest solar installer focused solely on serving Mainers, Maine Solar Solutions also offers the longest solar warranty in the state and a commitment to long-term, local support. In addition to solar installations, the company provides battery backup systems, EV chargers, and off-grid solutions—and through its in-house division, MSS Electric, delivers full-scale electrical services for Maine homes, businesses, and builders. With trust and dependability at the core of its work, the company is proud to help customers across the state achieve energy independence and contribute to a more resilient, sustainable future for Maine.
