Arch Electric, Inc. Recognized as Top U.S. Solar Installation Company

Plymouth, WI, 7/20/2021 — The U.S. solar industry is on the upswing and Arch Electric has had a front-row seat to this action, with dramatic growth over the last year. Solar Power World has recognized the company’s installation success by ranking Arch Electric at No. 86 on the 2021 Top Solar Contractors list for the entire U.S. and THE top rooftop contractor for the state of WI!

The Top Solar Contractors list is developed each year by 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.

“Not even COVID-19 closures and slowdowns could prevent the solar industry from installing fantastic numbers last year,” said Kelly Pickerel, editor in chief of Solar Power World. “The Solar Power World team is so glad to recognize over 400 companies on the 2021 Top Solar Contractors list that not only survived a pandemic but thrived in spite of it.”

The U.S. solar industry grew 43% in 2020, installing more solar panels on homes, businesses, and across the country than any other year on record. The residential market saw an 11% increase, which is remarkable considering the difficulties of maneuvering home solar projects through pandemic precautions.

The federal government passed a two-year extension on the solar investment tax credit (ITC) at the end of 2020, which will further accelerate solar adoption across all market segments. After installing 19.2 GW in 2020, research firm Wood Mackenzie expects the U.S. solar market to quadruple by 2030.

Arch Electric installed 29.26 MW (megawatts) of solar power in 2020. Since its founding in 2003, the company has installed 64.6 MW of solar.  Based in Plymouth, WI, and with offices in Milwaukee and Madison, Arch Electric has been the leading solar installer & contractor in the state since 2003. Working from concept to completion to make your sustainability goals a reality, Arch’s trusted, NABCEP certified staff assists homeowners & businesses make the smart switch to renewable energy.

“We take pride in what we do. Providing energy independence for homeowners and businesses alike, as well as fostering the growth of new technologies, the education of our neighbors, and the continued interest in caring for the earth.
