Catalyze Earns Multiple Rankings on Solar Power World’s 2024 Top Solar Contractors List

Catalyze Recognized Among Top U.S. Solar Companies for Its Ability to Bring Solar Projects Online Amid Industry-Wide Challenges

Houston, TX – August, 6, 2024 – Catalyze, a fully integrated developer and Independent Power Producer (IPP) of distributed renewable energy assets, today announced it ranked in the Top 10 on both Solar Power World’s 2024 Top Solar Developers and Top Community Solar Contractors lists.

Catalyze was recognized for installing 35 MW in 2023, achieved through several groundbreaking projects. One notable project was the 6.4 MW Amherst Solar Farm, which provides renewable electricity to 1,300 low-to-moderate-income housing units. The farm also utilizes sheep, shepherded by a local landowner, to maintain the vegetation on-site during the grazing season.

Additionally, Catalyze launched the Sheep Creek Community Solar Farm, the first project under California’s Enhanced Community Renewables (ECR) program to be contracted by one of the state’s three investor-owned utilities, Southern California Edison (SCE).

Solar Power World, a leading publication in the solar industry, annually publishes the Top Solar Contractors List, which features hundreds of solar contractors and developers across the United States, categorized by state/territory, service, and market. The list recognizes solar PV companies that provide services including sales, EPC contracting, development, construction/installation, electrical work, and rooftop-specific installations.

“We regularly read Solar Power World to stay informed about the latest developments and trends in the solar industry. It is a great honor to be recognized by their team of experts for our leadership in 2023,” said Jared Haines, CEO of Catalyze. “We experienced significant success last year, and our team is building on that momentum. In the coming months, we are identifying new markets and partners to expand our portfolio of renewable energy assets across the United States.”

“Solar projects in every market — residential to utility-scale — are getting bigger and oftentimes more complicated in scope, financing and permitting. That’s why it’s all the more impressive when so many top installation companies have banner years,” said Kelly Pickerel, editor in chief of Solar Power World. “The Top Solar Contractors List is a great gauge for how strong individual companies are in their local markets.”
