Vernon Hills, Illinois July 27th, 2022 — The U.S. solar industry is on the upswing, thanks to pro-renewables advocacy and increased concern over climate change. Tron Solar has had a front-row seat to this action, with business continuing to increase over the last year. Solar Power World has recognized the company’s installation success by ranking Tron Solar at No. 2 on Illinois’ Residential 2022 Top Solar Contractors 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.
In 2021, the US solar market installed a record 23.6 GWdc of solar capacity, a 19% increase over 2020. Solar accounted for 46% of all new electricity-generating capacity added in the US in 2021. This represents the third year in a row that solar has made up the largest share of new generating capacity in the US. In 2021, 3.9% of all US electricity generation came from solar.
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 50+ workers who installed 2.6 Megawatts of solar power in 2021 proudly making the mark in the list of top Illinois solar companies. Since Tron’s founding in 2018, the company has installed 6.3 Megawatts of solar. The company is nationally recognized for their high quality installation process and Project Management department.
