Vermont Business Magazine Despite concerns over supply chain interruptions and tariff investigations, the U.S. solar industry saw record solar and energy storage demand in 2021. Aegis Renewable Energy can attest to this, having one of its busiest years yet. Solar Power World has recognized the company's installation success by ranking Aegis Renewable Energy at No. 196 on the 2022 Top Solar Contractors list. Aegis is ranked 79 among solar Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) firms and ranked 81 in the U.S. for Top Commercial Contractors.
The Top Solar Contractors list is developed each year by industry magazine 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 services, markets and states.
“The utility-scale solar market, of course, puts up huge installation numbers each year, but the majority of workers in the industry are constructing projects in the commercial and residential markets, which continue to break records,” said Kelly Pickerel, editor in chief of Solar Power World. “Over 85% of the companies on the 2022 Top Solar Contractors List primarily work in the residential and commercial sectors, and they all reported closing out the last year in a positive light.”
According to data released by energy research firm Wood Mackenzie — before recent federal decisions to prevent additional tariffs on imported solar panels — the United States is expected to install 11 GW less than originally predicted in 2022, due to continued supply chain constraints, price increases and interconnection challenges. Still, a survey of the 2022 Top Solar Contractors class found that 59% predicted their business would increase in the next year, with only 9% assuming business would decrease.
“Aegis’ professionalism, dedication and performance this past year was incredible to witness. Our team was challenged and succeeded in navigating the market changes, supply and work shortage issues. I am proud of what we accomplished and the positive impact it will have on future generations.” - Nils Behn CEO Aegis Renewable Energy.
Aegis Renewable Energy employs 13 workers who installed 6,435 kW of solar power in 2021. Since its founding in 2011, the company has installed over 32 Megawatts of solar.
