Maine Solar Solutions Named A 2026 Top Solar Installer
With 2026 proving to be a milestone year for solar adoption in the United States, Solar Power World has released the 15th anniversary edition of the Top Solar Contractors List, the solar industry’s most recognized grouping of solar and energy storage installation companies. Once again, Maine Solar Solutions is one of the featured companies on the list, ranking No. 217 overall and No. 58 for residential installation.
2026 Solar Industry Trends
The United States recently surpassed 6 million individual solar installations, and solar is 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 of experience in solar. Maine Solar Solutions has been installing solar locally since 2012.
“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.”
Companies on the Top Solar Contractors List are grouped and listed by specific service, market, and states by 2025 installed capacity (in kWDC). Maine Solar Solutions is featured on the Overall, Residential, and Installer rankings.
In 2025, Maine Solar Solutions installed 430 individual solar projects totaling 4852.66 kW across the state.
