Teutopolis, IL, — With the United States receiving significant federal support of solar and storage in the Inflation Reduction Act, excitement for the technologies is growing at a record pace. Solar developers, installers and contractors are capitalizing on the moment by building more substantial projects across the country. Sonne Energy Solutions, based out of Teutopolis was recognized for its increased effort to expand the U.S. market by taking a top spot on the 2023 Top Solar Contractors List, released today by Solar Power World.

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 the number of kilowatts they installed in the previous year. Companies are grouped and listed by specific services, markets and states.

“Renewable energy accounts for a quarter of U.S. electrical generation, now far exceeding electricity produced by burning coal,” said Kelsey Misbrener, managing editor of Solar Power World. “Solar power is an important member of that renewable makeup, and companies on the Top Solar Contractors List are all contributing to our country’s shift to cleaner electricity. We are honored to recognize them each year for their necessary work putting green kilowatts on roofs, over parking lots, in desert locations and across water reservoirs. Every project is making a difference.”

Sonne Energy Solutions attributes their success in part due to their core values of: commitment, education, innovation, balance, open communication, and relationships. When asked about being named a 2023 Top Solar Contractor, co-founders Tony and Traci Martin stated, “This is such an exciting achievement for us! At our core, we are committed to solar for the long term, always adapting to industry changes and delivering innovative solutions to our customers. Education is key as we keep up with industry standards and share solar insights with the public. We believe in creative problem-solving and strive for balance in all aspects of our work and lives. Open communication and honesty are our foundations, and we cherish the relationships with our solar family.
