“We work very hard to deliver the highest level of service to our customers, and we pride ourselves on earning the highest levels of installer certification from our partners like Panasonic, REC, Enphase, Unirac and Tesla Energy — which privileges us the rights to provide the best product, the best service, the best warranties and the best prices to our customers.

2020: Growth and Innovation Despite COVID-19 Obstacles
The year started out well for the solar industry. In fact, the first quarter of 2020 was the biggest in the history of solar in the U.S. But with COVID-19 impacting lives and business worldwide, Q2 was a different story – and Wood Mackenzie is now forecasting a 25% decrease for residential solar and a 38% decrease for non-residential markets in year-over-year installation volumes this year.
Despite the adversity in the industry, Solar Optimum has continued to flourish and innovate, using the newest technology and collaborating with the best brands in the world. Like the other solar developers on Solar Power World’s 2020 Top Solar Contractors list, Solar Optimum has shown strength and persevering in a turbulent time – resulting in prominent rankings among the best solar companies in the country.
"The Solar Power World team is so pleased to highlight more than 400 companies on the 2020 Top Solar Contractors list, especially during this unprecedented time," said Kelsey Misbrener, senior editor of Solar Power World. "All contractors featured on the 2020 list reported strong 2019 installation numbers and are continuing to stand tall this year."
