Vernon Hills, Illinois of Tron Solar, July 20th, 2021 — The U.S. solar industry is on the upswing, thanks to a pro-renewables presidential administration and increased concern over climate change. Tron Solar has had a front-row seat to this action, with business increasing over the last year. Solar Power World has recognized the company’s installation success by ranking Tron Solar at No. 4 on Illinois’ Residential 2021 Top Solar Contractors list in the top Illinois solar companies list.
The Top Solar Contractors list is developed each year by 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 number of kilowatts installed in the previous year. Companies are grouped and listed by specific service, markets and states.
“Not even COVID-19 closures and slowdowns could prevent the solar industry from installing fantastic numbers last year,” said Kelly Pickerel, editor in chief of Solar Power World. “The Solar Power World team is so glad to recognize over 400 companies on the 2021 Top Solar Contractors list that not only survived a pandemic but thrived in spite of it.”
The U.S. solar industry grew 43% in 2020, installing more solar panels on homes, businesses and across the country than any other year on record. The residential market saw an 11% increase, which is remarkable considering the difficulties of maneuvering home solar projects through pandemic precautions. Tron Solar hired over 21 personnel to their staff through the pandemic, displaying strong and steady growth in a sector that continues to bloom.
The federal government passed a two-year extension on the solar investment tax credit (ITC) at the end of 2020, which will further accelerate solar adoption across all market segments. After installing 19.2 GW in 2020, research firm Wood Mackenzie expects the U.S. solar market to quadruple by 2030.
Tron Solar employs 55 workers who installed 2.3 Megawatts of solar power in 2020 proudly making the mark in the list of top Illinois solar companies. Since its founding in 2018, the company has installed 5 Megawatts of solar. The company is nationally recognized for their high quality installation process and Project Management department.
