In a year defined by shifting federal policies and rising energy uncertainty, Tron Solar has emerged as a true leader in America’s renewable energy movement. We’re proud to announce that Tron Solar has been ranked #146 nationally on Solar Power World’s prestigious 2025 Top Solar Contractors List, recognizing our continued commitment to excellence, rapid growth, and industry-leading residential installations across the Midwest.
Despite a challenging regulatory environment, the U.S. solar industry experienced its largest single year of new capacity in over two decades—adding nearly 50 gigawatts of solar to the grid in 2024. Tron Solar played a major role in that success by installing over 12 megawatts of residential and commercial solar, helping homeowners and businesses across the Midwest slash utility costs and gain energy independence.
With this latest ranking, Tron Solar has officially earned:
🏆 #146 Nationally among all U.S. solar contractors
🏆 #1 Residential Installer in Indiana
🏆 Top 10 Residential Installer in both Illinois and Wisconsin
