Solect Energy ranks #1 in Massachusetts on 2025 solar power world top solar contractors list
Hopkinton, MA Solect Energy has been named the #1 solar contractor in Massachusetts on the 2025 Solar Power World Top Solar Contractors list, earning the top spot for installing more solar in the Commonwealth than any other company in 2024. Nationally, Solect ranked #6 among Commercial & Industrial (C&I) solar developers.
Solect installed more than 21 megawatts (MW) of solar in Massachusetts last year, supporting public and private sector organizations that are increasingly turning to solar to manage energy costs and meet sustainability goals. This accomplishment reflects Solect’s expertise in navigating the policies, incentives, and interconnection processes that shape solar project success in Massachusetts and beyond.
“This recognition is a direct result of the hard work of our entire team and our dedication to delivering substantial savings and income for our clients and partners.” said Matt Shortsleeve, senior vice president of policy and marketing at Solect Energy. “We’re excited to build on this momentum as Massachusetts enters a new era of solar growth under the recently released SMART 3.0 incentive program.”
Solar Power World, the leading solar publication covering technology, development and installation, publishes the Top Solar Contractors List annually. The rankings include hundreds of solar contractors and developers from across the United States, categorized by state, service, and market sector.
