Aegis Renewable Energy, Inc. is Named a 2023 Top Solar Contractor

WAITSFIELD, VERMONT — 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. Aegis Renewable Energy 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). Aegis Renewable Energy is ranked at No. 275 in the nation.

 

Aegis completed two solar arrays in 2024 in partnership with the town of Colchester, Vermont. These projects bring the total number of collaborations with the town to four solar arrays. Aegis worked with the town to develop tailored solar solutions to meet Colchester's specific municipal requirements. Further details are available in the Solar Power World article, “Determined Vermont town finds path to solar goal with help from Aegis”.

 

“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.”

 

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 solar coaster, but the need for quick buildout of new energy resources is only going to grow.

 

Aegis Renewable Energy employs 19 team members who installed 2469.20 kW DC of solar power in 2024. Since its founding in 2011, the company has installed and designed over 40 MW of solar. Aegis is a commercial and utility scale design-build solar EPC located in the Northeastern United States. Aegis provides a range of services for the development, installation, and maintenance of solar energy and solar battery energy storage systems.
