San Francisco, CA, July 31, 2025 — The renewable energy industry is entering a tumultuous time, with deep federal cuts to programs that stoked incredible growth over the past four years. 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. OnSwitch 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 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 local energy.
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. Demand for electricity is only increasing as the U.S. strives to upgrade aging utility infrastructure, meet demands ofrow domestic manufacturing, and keep up with the growth of AI data centers.
“With skyrocketing electric rates impacting companies throughout the country, rooftop solar remains one of the fastest, cheapest options for customers to manage their costs in a time of great uncertainty. OnSwitch is proud of the recognition as a 2025 Top Solar Contractor as we leverage our unique digital tools to help large energy users accelerate and attain the maximum cost savings before the federal Investment Tax Credits soon expire,” said Mark Bronez, CEO and co-founder of OnSwitch.
“At a time when the federal government is doing everything it can to cut solar power down, the gigawatts put up by our 2025 Top Solar Contractors emphasize just how crucial it is to our nation’s energy mix,” said Kelsey Misbrener, managing editor of Solar Power World. “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.”
