Catalyze Earns Top 10 Rankings on Solar Power World’s 2025 Top Solar Contractors List
July 22, 2025Recognition Highlights Catalyze’s Solar Power Market Leadership for the Second Straight Year
Houston, TX – July 22, 2025 — Catalyze, a fully integrated developer and Independent Power Producer (IPP) of distributed renewable energy assets, today announced that it has been named a 2025 Top Solar Contractor by Solar Power World for the second year in a row. Ranking in the top 10 as both a Top Solar Developer and Top Community Solar Contractor, Catalyze joins an elite group of companies recognized for outstanding contributions to clean energy deployment across the United States.
The Top Solar Contractors List is the most recognized annual listing of solar contractors in the United States. It is compiled annually by industry magazine Solar Power World to recognize the work of solar installers to decarbonize the grid and support home-grown, local energy.
“Being recognized again as a Top 10 solar developer and community solar contractor speaks to the consistency and momentum of our team,” said Catalyze CEO Jared Haines. “We’re focused on accelerating clean energy deployment in ways that generate long-term value for real estate owners, tenants, and the communities we serve.”
This award was earned thanks to an expanding project portfolio, deep development expertise, and growing national footprint—culminating in over 200 MW of ongoing solar projects. In the past year, Catalyze delivered a range of high-impact projects, continuing to support businesses, real estate owners, and communities in reducing carbon emissions, enhancing resilience, and driving energy savings. The company’s proprietary platform, REenergyze®, streamlines the development lifecycle to accelerate site analysis, engineering, and deployment across Catalyze’s national project pipeline.
In 2024, the U.S. installed nearly 50 GW of new solar capacity, with solar and storage accounting for 84% of all new electric generating capacity added to the grid. Catalyze expects this growth to continue throughout 2025 as demand builds for flexible, distributed clean energy solutions.
“At a time when the federal government is doing everything it can to cut solar power down, the gigawatts put up by our 2025 Top Solar Contractors emphasize just how crucial it is to our nation’s energy mix,” said Kelsey Misbrener, managing editor of Solar Power World. “From the smallest residential projects to the largest utility-scale solar farms, these installations are keeping the lights on and keeping power affordable. We’re thrilled to recognize another outstanding class of Top Solar Contractors, and look forward to persevering through legislative hurdles to celebrate our 15-year edition next year.”
