OC Solar Named a Top Solar Contractor for 2026 by Solar Power World

OC Solar is proud to announce that we have been recognized by Solar Power World as one of the nation's top solar contractors for the third time!

What’s even better, in 2026 we earned the distinction of being ranked the No. 5 residential solar installer in California and the No. 3 installer in the nation for battery storage.

These rankings reflect years of dedication to quality workmanship, exceptional customer service, and our commitment to helping Southern California homeowners achieve true energy independence.

What Is the Solar Power World Top Solar Contractors List?

The Top Solar Contractors List is published annually by Solar Power World, one of the most respected publications in the renewable energy industry. The rankings recognize the country's leading solar companies based on verified installation data from the previous year.

Rather than relying on customer voting or paid sponsorships, Solar Power World ranks contractors using measurable, objective metrics:

• Installed solar capacity
• Market segment (residential, commercial, community, utility-scale)
• Service type
• Geographical performance

Because these rankings are based entirely on actual installation performance, they offer people a clear way to identify experienced and proven solar contractors.

Why This Recognition Matters

Being ranked among the nation's top contractors demonstrates that a company consistently delivers high-quality projects. It reflects operational excellence, installation quality, and the ability to serve customers at scale.

For OC Solar, this recognition includes several impressive achievements:

• No. 5 residential solar installer in California
• No. 3 installer in the nation for battery storage
• Top 30 residential solar contractor nationally
• Top 200 solar contractor overall in the United States

These rankings are especially meaningful in California, one of the most competitive solar markets in the world. There are hundreds of installers to choose from, which makes independent recognition even more valuable.

How OC Solar Earned These Rankings

Since our company’s launch in 2016, OC Solar has prioritized doing everything in the right way. Rather than relying heavily on subcontractors, we have created our own highly experienced team to manage your entire solar panel project from the moment you first inquire with us through planning and permitting, installation, and long-term support.

To date, we have completed over 6,500 projects and service calls and installed more than 30 MW of solar capacity across Southern California.

Most importantly, these achievements wouldn't be possible without our incredible community. To the homeowners who have trusted OC Solar, reviewed us online, and made up the OC Solar family, thank you. It is your reviews that motivate our staff every day and give your neighbors the confidence to do the same for themselves. And to our future customers, we can’t wait for the day when you will become part of our family too.
