TENCO SOLAR lands 2026 Top Solar Contractor honor again

TENCO SOLAR was named to Solar Power World’s 2026 Top Solar Contractors List for a second straight year, highlighting the Los Angeles company’s commercial solar work in California. The recognition comes as TENCO reports more than 11,000 kW of California C&I installations in 2025 and over 40 MW installed over three decades.

Why it matters: - The Top Solar Contractors List is one of the solar industry’s most recognized rankings. - TENCO SOLAR’s repeat placement signals continued momentum in California’s commercial solar market. - The recognition reflects demand for solar projects that help businesses and public entities manage energy costs and reduce exposure to utility-rate increases.

What happened: - Solar Power World released the 15th anniversary edition of its Top Solar Contractors List on July 24, 2026. - TENCO SOLAR was named to the 2026 list for a second consecutive year. - TENCO SOLAR was featured on the Commercial & Industrial list. - Dan McIntyre, TENCO SOLAR president, said the company was honored to be recognized again. - McIntyre said TENCO SOLAR looks forward to helping California businesses and public entities control energy costs, gain independence from rising utility rates, and build a cleaner future.

The details: - Solar Power World groups companies on the list by service, market and state, using 2025 installed capacity in kWDC. - More than 72% of companies on the 2026 list have at least 10 years of solar experience. - Fifty-eight percent have more than 15 years of experience in solar, storage and energy construction. - The United States recently surpassed 6 million individual solar installations. - Solar is regularly the most-installed source of new electricity in the country. - TENCO SOLAR has installed solar in California for three decades. - TENCO SOLAR says it has installed more than 40 MW total. - TENCO installed more than 11,000 kW of commercial and industrial solar across California in 2025. - TENCO specializes in public works and DSA solar projects, plus Title 24 new construction. - Solar Power World’s 2026 list places TENCO SOLAR among the top 5 commercial rooftop solar EPCs in California. - The company describes itself as a full-service EPC provider that manages projects in-house from contract signing to final approval.

Between the lines: - TENCO SOLAR’s placement suggests the company is scaling within a niche that blends commercial rooftop work, public-sector projects and code-driven new construction. - The list’s experience metrics underscore how much of today’s solar market is being built by long-tenured contractors rather than new entrants. - The California focus matters because the state remains one of the country’s most important markets for commercial solar deployment.

What's next: - TENCO SOLAR said it will continue pursuing California commercial, public works and new-construction solar work. - The company directed readers to its project portfolio to view installations that helped it earn the ranking. - Solar Power World will continue using the annual list to track contractor capacity and market activity.
