Suncovia Recognized As A 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 today, and Suncovia 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. Suncovia has been installing solar locally for 4 years.
“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.
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 kWDC). Suncovia is featured on the Residential Installer list .
Suncovia employs 100 workers who installed 6,805 KW of solar power in 2025. Suncovia is helping homeowners across Maine and New Hampshire take control of rising electricity costs through affordable solar and energy solutions. By making clean energy more accessible, Suncovia has helped families collectively save millions in projected utility expenses while reducing strain on the aging power grid. Through a streamlined customer experience, educational outreach, and customized system designs, the company is focused on delivering long-term financial relief, energy independence, and sustainable impact to communities throughout the region.
“We are honored to be recognized as a 2026 Top Solar Contractor by Solar Power World,” said Craig Mattson, Owner of Suncovia. “This achievement represents the hard work of our team and our commitment to providing homeowners with affordable, reliable solar solutions that deliver long-term energy savings.”
