Ethical Energy Solar Named a 2026 Top Residential Solar Contractor
We’re proud to share some big news: Ethical Energy Solar has been named a 2026 Top Solar Contractor by Solar Power World.
This year marks the 15th anniversary of Solar Power World’s Top Solar Contractors List, the most recognized annual ranking of solar and energy storage installation companies in the country. Being included on this list, especially in a year with so much competition, is a milestone we’re incredibly proud of.
Our 2026 Rankings
- #2 among Pennsylvania-headquartered residential solar installers
- #44 nationally among residential solar installers
- 6,610.60 kW installed across Pennsylvania in 2025
- 64 employees serving homeowners statewide
To put that in perspective: while over 70% of companies on this year’s list have been in solar for a decade or more, Ethical Energy earned this ranking in just four years. We think that says a lot about the team we’ve built and the way we approach this work.
Why This Recognition Matters
Solar Power World’s list isn’t a popularity contest. Companies are ranked by actual installed capacity, verified and reported each year. So this isn’t just an award. It’s a reflection of thousands of hours on rooftops across Pennsylvania, thousands of conversations with homeowners, and a whole lot of hard work from our crews, designers, and support staff.
It’s also a reflection of trust, from the customers who chose us to handle their home’s energy future, and from the partners who work alongside us to get it done right.
What We Believe In
We built Ethical Energy Solar around a simple idea: solar should be easy to understand and easy to trust. As a Pennsylvania-owned and operated company, we manage the entire process in-house, including sales, system design, permitting, installation, and ongoing service, so nothing gets lost between departments or handed off to a third party.
That means:
- Honest communication, from your first quote to your final walkthrough
- Quality installation, done by our own trained teams, not subcontractors
- Long-term service, because our relationship with you doesn’t end when the panels go up
We want every homeowner we work with to feel like they understand exactly what they’re getting, and why it’s a good decision for their home and their budget.
Looking Ahead
The U.S. just passed 6 million individual solar installations, and solar continues to be the most-installed source of new electricity in the country. Pennsylvania homeowners have more reasons than ever to explore energy independence, and we’re just getting started.
Thank you to our team, our customers, and our partners for helping make this recognition possible. We’re excited for what’s next.
