The renewable energy industry is entering a tumultuous time, with deep federal cuts to programs that stoked astronomical growth over the past four years. Still, the solar industry broke record after record in 2024, the largest single year of new capacity added to the grid by any energy technology in over two decades. TruNorth Solar is one of the companies that contributed to the milestone installation year and is recognized as a 2025 Top Solar Contractor by Solar Power World.
The Top Solar Contractors List is the most recognized annual listing of solar contractors in the United States. It is compiled annually by industry magazine Solar Power World to recognize the work of solar installers to decarbonize the grid and support home-grown, local energy. Companies on the Top Solar Contractors List are grouped and listed by specific service (developer, electrical subcontractor, EPC, installation subcontractor, installer, sales partner), market (commercial, community solar, residential, utility) and state by 2024 installed capacity (in kWDC). TruNorth Solar is ranked at No. 324 in the nation.
“From the smallest residential projects to the largest utility-scale solar farms, these installations are keeping the lights on and keeping power affordable. We’re thrilled to recognize another outstanding class of Top Solar Contractors, and look forward to persevering through legislative hurdles to celebrate our 15-year edition next year,” said Kelsey Misbrener, managing editor of Solar Power World.
The country installed nearly 50 GW of new solar capacity in 2024, with solar and storage accounting for 84% of all new electric generating capacity added to the grid. Companies on the Top Solar Contractors List are undoubtedly preparing for a tough hill on the solarcoaster, but the need for quick buildout of new energy resources is only going to grow.
TruNorth Solar employs approximately 30 workers who installed over 1400 KW of solar power in 2024. Since its founding in 2009, the company has installed over 11,000 KW of solar. TruNorth Solar is a locally owned and operated Minnesota solar power designer and installer for residential, commercial, and agricultural properties. TruNorth Solar has a track record of high quality installations, the very best customer experience, and life-of-system service. Projects are designed to save money for clients, while also making a meaningful difference in our future energy recipe. TruNorth Solar is a member of Amicus Solar Cooperative, and is currently the only solar installer member in Minnesota.
