Nexamp has again been recognized by Solar Power World as the No. 1 community solar company in the United States, marking the fourth consecutive year the company has earned the top spot. The recognition reflects the continued growth of distributed solar and the increasing importance of energy resources that can be deployed quickly, closer to where power is needed, and with tangible benefits for customers and communities.

Community solar is one part of Nexamp’s overall approach to building distributed energy infrastructure that can serve customers and communities more effectively. Across its portfolio, the company is focused on solutions that can be deployed efficiently, support grid reliability, and expand access to meaningful energy savings. Community solar plays an important role in that strategy by making clean energy more accessible, including for people and organizations that cannot install solar on site.

“Distributed solar is proving its value because it can be built quickly, placed where it’s needed most, and help manage energy costs for customers,” said Zaid Ashai, CEO of Nexamp. “Community solar is a critical part of that model, and part of Nexamp’s broader commitment to delivering energy solutions that are affordable, resilient, efficient, and practical to deploy at scale.”

As electricity demand rises and affordability remains a top concern for households, businesses, and municipalities, distributed solar is playing a larger role in the nation’s energy mix. In its Q2 2026 Solar Market Insight report, SEIA noted that the United States added 43 GW of new solar capacity in 2025, marking the fifth straight year that solar was the top source of new power added to the grid, and that solar and battery storage accounted for 91% of all new electricity-generating capacity added in the first quarter of 2026.

“Despite policy and supply hurdles, the U.S. solar market shows no signs of slowing down,” said Billy Ludt, Managing Editor of Solar Power World. “Well-run companies are those that can adapt to a changing industry, and we believe the 2026 Top Solar Contractors List features the strongest names in solar development, construction and installation.”

Founded in 2007, Nexamp has built one of the nation’s largest distributed energy platforms, with integrated capabilities spanning project development, construction, operations, and customer experience. The company’s continued recognition in community solar underscores both the strength of that platform and the role distributed energy can play in expanding access to affordable, reliable power.
